Second Generation Excellence: How ELKO’s Family Legacy Ensures Quality Craftsmanship

Since 1991, Elko Construction has proudly served Glenview, Illinois, and the surrounding communities with dedication, expertise, and a personal touch. What began as a woman-founded and operated company decades ago has grown into a multi-generation enterprise—where the passion for high-quality craftsmanship is not only an enduring legacy but a continuing mission. Below, we explore how our family roots shape the exceptional service and meticulous attention to detail that North Shore homeowners have come to expect from Elko Construction.

A Strong Foundation Built on Family Values

From the beginning, Elko Construction set itself apart through a commitment to integrity, collaboration, and customer care. These foundational values were passed down to the next generation of family members who joined the company, instilling in them:

• Team-Oriented Culture: Prioritizing support and open communication among employees, subcontractors, and clients.
• Personal Ownership: Emphasizing accountability and pride in every project we undertake.

Learning Through Hands-On Mentorship

The second generation at Elko Construction didn’t just inherit the family business—they grew up in it. From an early age, they observed and learned:

• Technical Skills & Expertise: Shadowing seasoned professionals on job sites, acquiring a deep respect for artistry in construction.
• Problem-Solving & Adaptability: Gaining experience by adapting to project challenges, weather delays, or unique homeowner requests.
