KACLIK BUILDERS:
THEN & NOW
Kaclik Builders LLC was founded in 1987 by Christopher Kaclik. A Pittsburgh native and son of an architect, Chris became interested in building at a young age. Upon graduating high-school, he joined an electricians union in the city. From there, Chris started to teach himself every skill needed to build a home. Starting with renovation projects and advancing to additions, he eventually began working with clients to build fully custom homes from the ground up.
​
Fast forward more than three decades, and Kaclik Builders is now one of the premier builders and developers in the Pittsburgh area. Being "hands on" has always been engrained into the company. Chris learned from being on the job site and that's still where you'll find him.
​
We pride ourselves on our down-to-earth approach to building. We truly want you to understand what you are building and we're always here to discuss every decision with you -- big and small.
​
We know how to build a solid house and are always trying to build better, smarter, and more efficiently as technology grows and products continue to advance. We work with a select group of trusted partners and suppliers who keep us up-to-date with the best products on the market. There are no short cuts in the way we build, we are always trying to exceed our own standard.
Building your dream home requires a lot of trust, we work hard from our initial meeting to your move in date to gain that trust and confidence. We take our projects and our relationships personally when you build with us, it's a true partnership from beginning to end. We build to last you a lifetime of creating memories -- in a home you love with the ones you love the most.
Our goal is to be your builder for life.
