About Lanford Brothers
Our History
Formed in 1960 by Jack & Stan Lanford, we began with a concentration on bridge & box culvert construction. Over the years we have evolved from building new structures to repairing them. Since acquiring Kirk-Neal Inc. in 2003, we can now add guardrail & overhead signs to our list of services.
Along the way we have grown to over 200 employees while maintaining an excellent reputation with our clients for quality work and integrity.
