ABOUT US

WHO WE ARE

We are Jason and Denise Kerner. We have owned and operated Kerner Construction since 2005, specializing in residential construction. In 2014, we decided to switch our focus to installing residential fiberglass swimming pools. We have a young family and wanted to take advantage of North Dakota’s short summers! So we installed our own fiberglass swimming pool and never looked back.

WHAT WE DO

Our goal is to bring our customers the backyard oasis of their dreams in the form of their very own in-ground fiberglass swimming pool. We pride ourselves in “Quality Construction” and strive every day to meet and exceed customers’ expectations. We have aligned ourselves with three high-quality fiberglass pool builders to offer our customers a wide range of pool shapes, sizes, colors and options. You are sure to find the pool that is perfect for you! We also offer high quality equipment packages that truly stand up to the North Dakota elements.

OUR TEAM

JASON
KERNER
GENERAL CONTRACTOR
You can describe Jason in one statement, “Jack of All Trades”. He is a perfectionist and strives to do a quality job each and every time. His success is measured by his customer’s satisfaction and nothing else. He loves what he does and approaches new projects as a challenge waiting to be conquered. He is a veteran of the Army National Guard and has a full-time job outside of installing pools. He spends his “spare time” volunteering with his son’s Cub Scout pack, camping, fishing, hunting, and, of course, swimming.

Her professional dedication and sincere concern for the team and our customers keeps us on task and ensures your backyard oasis dream comes to life. Denise has great design taste and a good eye for special layouts. When Denise is not working on pool projects, she is kept busy being a wife to Jason and a mom to three kids, Perry, Emily and Jacey. She enjoys baking, swimming, camping and just spending time with family. She volunteers with Cub Scouts and wherever else she can.
