Max J. Kuney Company
was founded in 1930 by Max Kuney, Sr. Currently the 15th oldest
construction company in Washington, the
company is still actively managed by Kuney family, with Max J. Kuney IV as
its president and Daniel Kuney as a vice president. For over 75 years, Max
J. Kuney Company (MJK) has worked in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, California
and Alaska. MJK has seen construction methods evolve from the use of horse drawn
tractors, to diesel powered excavators, to today’s state of the art equipment,
including pile driving hammers that use environmentally safe corn oil in place
of standard oil. 
Several landmark
bridges in the Northwest bear the
Kuney mark. The Foss Waterway Bridge in Tacoma, WA was only the 13th
cable stay bridge constructed in the country, at that time. Over 80% of the elevated freeway in Spokane, WA was built under
MJK contract 30 years ago, and we recently widened I-90 east of Spokane to
help reduce congestion. The historic St. Johns Bridge in Portland, OR and
Lewis & Clark Bridge in Longview, WA both received complete renovations,
including new bridge decks and seismic upgrades.

Group Retro Program, MJK has a demonstrated commitment to improving safety
on every job and in every craft. You can read about projects that are currently
