Our Story
Building Dreams and Transforming Kitchens Since 2009
From Local Craftsmen to Regional Leaders
Central Rivers Construction began as a small family-owned business with a simple mission: to create beautiful, functional kitchens that improve our clients' daily lives. Founded in 2009 by Edgar Pope, our company has grown from a one-man operation to a trusted team of skilled professionals serving Godfrey, IL and surrounding areas.
What started as a passion for quality craftsmanship and attention to detail has evolved into a full-service kitchen planning and remodeling company. We've completed over 500 kitchen projects, each one teaching us something new and strengthening our commitment to excellence.
Today, we're proud to be the go-to kitchen remodeling specialists in our region, known for our reliability, transparent pricing, and the lasting relationships we build with our clients.
