History

Ed’s entrepreneurial spirit and business acumen were developed at an early age. From selling oranges to neighborhood kids, running a trucking company with his father, to building apartments for himself, Ed’s intuitive way of working with people and numbers helped him understand what it takes to run a successful company.

In 1965, while building an apartment building financed by the Bank of America, the local bank manager asked Ed to bid on the “new” Stack Chevrolet in Palm Springs. After some initial trepidation, Ed accepted, was low bidder, and became the commercial building contractor known as Ed Grush General Contractor, Inc.

Fifty years later, after constructing over a thousand commercial projects in California with a value totaling a billion dollars, Ed Grush General Contractor, Inc. has established a solid reputation for professionalism and the production of cost effective quality commercial projects, to the benefit of our clients.
