Kelley Construction is a small family-owned business started in 1972, by my father Timothy Kelley. During this time he did all types of construction projects, from restoration of period homes to commercial work. He always had a special place in his heart for restoration projects and instilled it in me when I began working with him in 1995.

Since the time I started working for Kelley Construction I was always amazed at the craftsmanship of the older homes and how it seemed to have been lost in a lot of the newer homes. Craftsmen had pride in their work and this is what Kelley Construction strives for. We pride ourselves on walking the fine line of perfection and production.

Even though we specialize in restoration, we have the ability and experience to do all types of projects. Our goal is to give you a finish project that will show our pride in quality and craftsmanship.

Pershing Square
Downtown Los Angeles

Pershing Square is the oldest public park in Los Angeles. Its history extends back two hundred years when it was a vacant lot known as block number 15. In 1866, an ordinance was signed declaring the park "...a public square for the use and benefit of the citizens of the common." Over the last century the park has undergone numerous changes including the addition of underground parking in the 1950s. In the 1990s, the park was significantly remodeled by a design team led by architect Ricardo Legoretta and landscape architect Laurie Olin.
