Kettelle Building Movers

Kettelle Building Movers has been a trusted name in the structural moving and excavation industry for over half a century. Since 1964, the company has built a reputation for expertise, professionalism, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations. Founded by Grant "Pike" Kettelle, the company began by relocating homes, a necessity born from the increasing demand for land and the challenges of traditional construction.

Pike's entrepreneurial spirit led him to acquire a pre-existing mover's business in Newburgh, New York, further enhancing his skills and knowledge. With this foundation, he expanded his operations, embarking on large-scale projects such as relocating the North Kingstown High School administrative building and two substantial office structures. As the company grew, Pike and his son Scott formally established a partnership in 1992, ensuring a continuation of the family legacy and commitment to quality service.

Their dedication to providing top-notch equipment and resources was further solidified in 2010 when they acquired the assets of another local business, significantly expanding their capabilities and reach. Today, Kettelle Building Movers stands as a leader in the industry, proudly serving Connecticut, Southeastern Massachusetts, and all of Rhode Island.
