Founder of Cheek Construction
Kyle Cheek started Cheek Construction in January 2014 with a clear idea of the kind of company he wanted to build. At the time, the team consisted of Kyle and one other employee. He spent his days doing field work, then went home at night to handle payroll and the office side of the business.
There was no large team behind him and no shortcut around the work. What Kyle did have was years of concrete experience and a vision centered on fairness, honesty, quality work, and creating something that could provide opportunities for other people.
Kyle brings 24 years of concrete experience to the work. That time in the industry has given him a practical understanding of what concrete projects demand, especially when schedules are tight, scopes change, and several parts of a job need to stay coordinated.
Concrete work is rarely just about getting material on the ground. Project teams have to think about plans, specifications, mix requirements, reinforcement, site access, equipment, labor, phasing, and timing. Conditions can change quickly, and decisions made early can affect everything that follows.
Kyle’s background in the field has helped shape a straightforward approach: understand the scope, communicate clearly, plan around the real conditions of the job, and take responsibility for the work delivered.
What started with two people has grown into a company with three locations and more than 100 employees. That growth did not happen overnight.
Each stage brought new responsibilities, from adding crews and equipment to developing the systems needed to handle larger commercial and industrial concrete scopes. As the company expanded, Kyle’s role changed too. The work became less about doing everything himself and more about building teams that could carry the same standards forward.
Growth has never been the only goal. One of the main reasons Kyle continues doing this work is to provide a good place to work and help others. Creating opportunities for team members remains a major part of what the company is building.
Kyle wants to be the kind of leader who gives people room to grow while still holding a high standard for the work.
That means treating people fairly, communicating directly, and giving team members the support they need to take ownership of their responsibilities. It also means expecting accountability. Construction projects change, mistakes can happen, and difficult situations come up. The expectation is to address problems, communicate about them, and keep working toward a solution.
His leadership is grounded in the same values that shaped the business at the beginning: honesty, safety, accountability, and respect for the people doing the work.
Cheek Construction is much larger than it was in 2014, but the expectations around the work are still practical.
We plan, pay attention to the schedule, and communicate early when conditions change. We focus on workmanship that reduces the risk of rework and on giving project teams a clear understanding of scope, timing, and potential impacts.
Kyle also expects the team to stand behind the finished work. That includes owning mistakes and fixing problems rather than passing responsibility somewhere else. On active job sites, that same mindset carries into safety, coordination, and respect for the other crews working around us.
Today, our team handles commercial and industrial concrete work across Northern Nevada, with crews, equipment, and concrete supply capabilities built around demanding project schedules and changing jobsite needs.
Services include:
Our concrete supply team serves communities including:
From structural scopes and foundations to ready mix and on-demand concrete, the goal stays the same: understand what the project requires, communicate clearly, and keep the work moving with quality and accountability at every stage.
Our blog covers practical questions that come up around concrete construction and concrete supply, from planning pours and choosing the right supply method to understanding curing, jobsite conditions, and scheduling considerations.
The goal is to share useful information based on the same kind of questions and decisions that come up in concrete work every day.
Homeowners and contractors often ask, “How long does concrete take to dry?” The surface can look ready long before the slab has developed enough strength for heavier foot traffic, vehicles, equipment, or the next phase of construction. Fresh concrete begins
Kyle has always believed that good working relationships start with a clear conversation. If you have a concrete project coming up, tell us what you’re planning, what the schedule looks like, and where you need support.
We’ll take the time to understand the job, answer your questions, and talk through what makes sense for the work ahead.
