isenhanced by radiant heat in the acid- washed concrete
floors to allow for multiple heating zones throughout

When asked
to offer advice to builders just starting out in the business
Jack says not to worry about how many projects you build early
on. "Just build the best product you can because the
work will come once you've established a good reputation."
A great reputation is something Jack
has plenty of. From past clients to colleagues, Keenan Construction
has earned a reputation as one of the most respected and admired
builders in this area. Interior Designer Sonja Knutsen agrees,
"I've been in this business over 20 years and nobody
is as organized, professional and well-liked as Jack Keenan.
I only hope I get to work with him again because it was a
wonderful experience."
