Wisconsin Drywall, Insulation, Painting & Staining Company

Wisconsin Drywall and related services.

With 8 to 10 years of experience under their respective belts, Kathy & Jim Yaresh started Grade A Construction in 1982 and incorporated in 1983. They started with a crew of five drywallers and added skilled labor every year since.

Jim and Kathy moved out of the home office in 1990 to a 4,500 square foot southwest Waukesha building. The company added an insulation division the same year.

In 1995 Grade A Construction added complete paint and stain services.

Grade A built a 10,500 square foot facility in Delafield, Wisconsin,  in 1998.    Grade A added 6,500 square feet to their office and warehouse in 2003.
