Our Story
Founded in 2016
Cory Elbert Contracting started with Cory being a guy who knows a lot of guys. He worked for his father in his teens and early twenties, learning the trade, building relationships, and understanding how job sites really work. He later branched off and started CEC with just himself and a small crew.
What set Cory apart early on was how he treated people. He built strong crews by treating them well, keeping work steady, and delivering results. Those relationships grew into a network of over 70 + crew members, allowing CEC to take on projects from the ground up.
CEC continues to grow through experience, reputation, and relationships. Cory stays closely involved in the work and is known for bringing the right people together to get jobs built efficiently and done right.
Outside of work, Cory is a family man, a dedicated husband, and an active dad. He enjoys golfing and fishing, but being a dad is still his favorite job to this day.
