Meet the Owners;  Wes and Cecilia McIntire

About Us

We are Wes and Cecilia McIntire and we are the owners of Diamond Contracting, Inc.  We both had dreamed of opening a construction company from our beginning days together.  So it seemed like a natural fit to open a contracting business.  I guess we figured if we could run a business together successfully, we could successfully stay married.  Well, its twelve years later and we are still business partners and happily married with a curious and energetic 4 year old boy.          

Wes grew up roofing, siding, and doing carpentry work with a local Osawatomie, KS contractor.  He even worked in the maintenance department at his high school while attending OHS.   He comes from a long line of family members in the home building industry.  He left home to attend, the Pittsburg State University in Pittsburg, KS Technology Center, which is nationally renowned for their construction management programs.   During these courses he learned how to successfully manage construction projects big & small and transform them into a satisfied customer.

After college Wes went on to work for some of the biggest non union remodeling companies in Kansas City.  This is where he received his hands on training in management and sales.  He spent most of his time focusing on the proper installation of products, training and hiring skill minded installation professionals.  He now has taken his hands-on field training and implemented it into his own business.  It all starts with the correct installation of the products along with outstanding customer service to have a successful installation.

Cecilia attended high school in Paola, KS.  Where she enjoyed, a small town friendly lifestyle of Summers at the softball fields and Winters sledding down the big hill in Wallace Park.  She left her small town to pursue to knowledge & experience in the big world.  Cecilia frequented the Dean’s Honor Roll List while at Pittsburg State University.  As learning and excelling was fun for her.  Cecilia graduated from PSU with her Bachelors’ Degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Business and Technologies. 

After graduation Cecilia pursued a career in Human Resources Management to gain hands on experience with employees and how the back side of a business worked.  She worked for years at a Staffing Agency in Olathe, KS.  During these years Cecilia worked recruiting, selecting, hiring new employees to the company and enforcing policies and procedures.   When she was promoted to the corporate office in Grandview, MO.  She designed a companywide safety program and created a recruiting & sales strategy for the four outlet offices.  

After years of planning, and literally “selling the farm”, we started our business Diamond Contracting, Inc., in 2006.   Cecilia’s family is full of entrepreneurs, so she grew up wanting to manage her own business.  Her father is very proud of her!  Our hearts and our drive are in the home improvement industry.   Our goal is to be known as an industry leader for Kansas City contractors.  Not in size, necessarily, but in the example of how to successfully manage a high quality home improvement company that devotes itself to our customer’s ultimate satisfaction.

Because of that, we concern ourselves with education.  We are not interested in learning by trial and error.  Too many contractors just do what they have always done.  We are constantly researching and going to continuing education classes with different organizations so that we can offer the right project for our value-minded customers.

Obviously, the first priority is making certain that whichever product you choose for your home is handled and installed to meet the manufacturer’s requirements and conforms to industry standards.  Just meeting code is not good enough.

Secondly, we are committed to finding out your wants and needs and developing a relationship that will allow clear communication.  This is done through complete project consultations, pre-construction meetings, professional field supervisors, and skilled employee job foremen and employee installers.

Lastly, we know that our industry has the reputation of disorganization and unprofessionalism.  We have a team of experienced and professional administrative staff.  Our crews stay on schedule, we show up on time for appointments, we return phone calls, we offer thorough proposals, we meticulously clean up jobsites, and we deliver world class customer satisfaction.

We are customer focused and employee driven.
Choosing a home improvement contractor is a daunting task in any time.  It is doubly true in these tough economic times.  When so many companies are going out of business and taking customers’ deposits with them, your choice becomes even more important.  Feel free to contact us and find out what a professional home improvement company is like.  We are a member of the elite National James Hardie Preferred Remodelers program  and the national Certified Contractor Network for a reason.  You deserve to have professionals working on your home.
