A little bit

About the team

Optimum is founded on friendship. Kendrick Ballantyne and Ryan Lessard met on a job-site. After realizing they had shared the same hometown and high school experience, they began a series of conversations that led to the partnership they have today. This story has repeated itself to grow their company. Friends of friends, old coworkers, respected references have built an entirely organic group who don’t just talk about the value of relationship, but work together as a result of it. To them, relationship is the most real thing in the world, bringing good people together to finish great work.

The story isn’t over, more friendships will turn into partnerships, clients, subs and employees. That’s how we grow, by knowing people well.

Subcontractors

The companies and individuals we choose to work with say a lot about us. We realize this, but also understand the profound impact they have on our clients. 

Knowing subcontractors well allows us to build better.

Building a relationship takes time, so we make intentional space to know these people well. They tell us about family life,  hopes and dreams, company aspirations and the things that interest them. Partnering with the right people is essential to our construction process, and we carry the banner of relationship constantly into this area.

They know that since we treat them well, they should treat our clients well in return.
