Horace B. Deal founded H.B. Deal & Company, Inc. in 1922. After his retirement, his sons Bill and Clarence started H.B. Deal Construction, Inc. and ran the company until their retirement in 1978. H.B.D. Contracting, Inc. was then started by longtime employees Daniel O’Keefe Jr., Russell Shilt and Melvin Schaefer, who ran the company until 2004 when Michael Perry, Brian Kowert and Daniel O’Keefe III, who have a combined 78 years with the company started H.B.D. Construction. Over the years, HBD has become a highly regarded general contracting and construction management organization in St. Louis. At H.B.D. Construction, Inc., the tradition continues. The new H.B.D. organization continues to be committed to the original Corporation precepts of quality and integrity. H.B.D has continued to build its reputation as a well-established, full construction service organization.
