The English Contractor is honored to present at KBIS 2026 as part of the NKBA's NextUP Skilled Trades initiative. NKBA NextUP is bridging the labor gap by educating parents and students about rewarding careers in the skilled trades — inspiring the next generation through early workforce development.

Our NextUP session shares a practical perspective on how skilled trades transform designs into built spaces. Topics include construction planning, budgeting, ex*****on, and the collaboration that connects design and construction.

KBIS is North America's largest kitchen and bath show - bringing together manufacturers, distributors, retailers, builders, and designers for three days of innovation, networking, and business growth. Explore cutting-edge products, breakthrough technologies, and trend-setting designs that will define the market in 2026 and beyond.

We've had quite a stretch of rain here in Cincinnati. But rain or shine, this screened in porch delivers. There's nothing better than listening to the rain while you're cozy and dry. This screened-in porch lets you enjoy the fresh air--without puddles or pests. (Plus, the heaters mean you can enjoy it nearly all year round!)

Our founder, Craig Russell, has officially become a Nationally Registered Emergency Medical Technician and a Swift Water Rescue Technician.

When he's not building beautiful custom homes, he's out protecting the community—literally diving into action when it matters most. We couldn’t be prouder of his dedication to service, both on the job site and in the field.

Join us in congratulating Craig on this incredible accomplishment! 👏👏👏
