HISTORY
ALLKIN CONSTRUCTION, INC. was founded in 1987 by Russell I. Aldridge,
Russell Dale Aldridge and Ruth V. Aldridge. Since Allkin is family
owned and operated with such strong family ties, it was agreed that
the name of the company should be ALLKIN.
Russell I. Aldridge was a union carpenter in the 1950's and 1960's
and worked on many large projects in Austin and around central
Texas.
He decided to start his own construction company named
Aldridge Construction Company. The name of the construction company
changed in 1987 to Russell Aldridge Contractor, Inc. and focused on
building new homes.
Dale was born and raised in Austin, Texas and has worked exclusively
in the construction field since high school which began at John H
Reagan High School, with graduation from Lanier High School. Dale
began working as General Superintendent for Russell Aldridge
Contractor and continued until forming his own company, Dale Aldridge,
Inc. in 1983.
Dale's experience began with residential construction, but saw great
opportunities in commercial construction. When Allkin Construction,
Inc. was formed in 1987 the Commercial Division was created and the
family business was reunited.
Allkin Construction's newly formed Commercial Division immediately
began to work on several remodel projects for both the public and
private sectors. Within the first year, Allkin Construction, Inc. was
awarded the contract for constructing the new addition to the High
School in Hutto, Texas. Since that time, Allkin Construction's
Commercial Division has grown a reputation for completing projects on
or ahead of time and on budget.
Dale takes great pride in being a native Austinite and enjoys meeting
and working with new and old clients. Dale enjoys building projects
with his goal being to keep a good relationship during and after
project completion while maintaining a great reputation among the community.
To this day, Dale and his wife Nina along with their children and
grand children take great pride in being a part of Austin Texas and
its history...Building Texas with Pride.
