Joseph Klockner

Joseph founded Klockner & Company in 1982. He has over 40 years
experience in the construction industry having been raised in the family
steel fabrication and erection business during the '60s and '70s.

  At first, Joseph worked as a carpenter, electrician, and plumber,
performing multiple trade aspects of every job.  Finally, he realized that his
best talents lay in managing projects and developing relationships with
architects, designers and specialists in the various specific trades. 

Joseph nurtured the company through its early growth years, as it moved
from row house renovations in Washington, DC to sophisticated commercial
high-end finish specialties on multi-million dollar historic projects.  Finally, he
led us into the development of custom homes, settling into a niche of high-
end residential custom additions and rehabs in Northwest Washington, DC
and Montgomery County, MD markets. 

Joseph lives in Takoma Park with his son Leif, just graduating from the
University of Massachusetts this year (May 2008), with occasional visits
from his daughter Nikita, who just earned her Masters Degree in social work
(Dec. 2007).

Community involvement is important to Joseph and this is evident in his long
tenured volunteer board service for the Takoma Park Silver Spring (TPSS)
Cooperative.

innovative design and execution in the renovation and reconstruction
of a multi-apartment townhome.

Also, in 1983, Mr. Klockner accepted a new role in commercial
restoration.  As a key subcontractor for the Sumner School Historic

among some of Washington's most highly regarded commercial
construction managers and developers.  The scope of this Board of
Education showcase project included: demolition and shoring,
concrete and masonry, rough carpentry and architectural woodwork,
including all doors and windows.  The scale of work on this three
year project was over $500,000.

In the past, Mr. Klockner was an alternative energy consultant and
technical assistant for the federally funded Sun Seed Solar Project.
  He supervised the construction and installation of the process
equipment and assisted in the design of multiple aspects of the
Floyd County, VA Agricultural Fuel and Energy Cooperative Plant;
as well as designing, building and installing several passive solar
systems for residential applications.
