Black-Owned Construction & Janitorial Service Earns Millions In Revenue
In 2001, Gerald Williams founded GK Contractors LLC in Atlanta, Georgia. The company defied the odds by averaging fifty housing projects per year. This was a huge milestone for Williams as the average time to build a new construction home estimated to be seven months and he managed twenty five in that amount of time.?
?The company started with services such as infrastructure building projects and resurfacing. Soon Williams had another vision in mind, and expanded to janitorial services. This decision proved to be highly lucrative, securing a deal with Houston Transit during the peak of COVID-19. Beyond the profitable pivot, Williams is proud his team made it possible for essential workers commuting to and from work to do so in safe and clean transit systems.??

What are you most proud of about your business?
I am proud that this business is not only standing, but it is thriving. While I was working on regular contracting work, I started sharing my vision for more. I wanted to transition into building construction. Nobody believed in me and in 2000 my parents house caught on fire and burned to the ground. I knew I could rebuild the house from the ground up despite not having all the necessary equipment. And guess what? I did just that! Building my parent’s dream home is one of my most cherished accomplishments to date, and it proved my capabilities to me and my family.?
