Klay Schonebaum
Owner
Klay Schonebaum grew up in Burke, South Dakota, where hard work and getting your hands dirty wasn't just a way of life, it was a way of earning respect. Construction has been in his blood from the start, and he spent years honing his craft before making the move to the Black Hills. Drawn by the beauty of the region and the opportunity to build something of his own, Klay founded Five Star Construction with a simple goal: deliver honest, quality work that stands the test of time. When you work with Five Star, you're working with someone who has dedicated his entire life to this trade and takes pride in every project he puts his name on.
At Five Star Construction, we are more than just a contracting company — we are a dedicated team of skilled professionals who take pride in every project we take on. From the crew members running equipment to the specialists handling the finish work and everything in between, each member of our team plays a vital role in delivering the quality results our customers expect. We believe that great work is never the result of one person alone, which is why we operate as a true team, communicating, collaborating, and holding each other to the highest standards on every job site. No matter the size or scope of the project, we show up ready to work and don't consider the job done until you are completely satisfied. That team-first mentality is at the core of everything we do at Five Star Construction.
