A Legacy Built on Craftsmanship
From Dutch Heritage to Clarington’s Leading Contractor
Kraco Contracting began in 1972 when the Kraayvanger family emigrated from Holland and settled in Durham Region. By 1976, their commitment to quality craftsmanship had established the foundation for a company built on integrity and expertise. Today, led by Rudy and Kim Kraayvanger, Kraco has grown into a trusted general contractor serving Bowmanville, Newcastle, Courtice, Orono, and the Durham Region. Our legacy is defined by disciplined project management, meticulous attention to detail, and a neighbourly approach. From custom homes to luxury sunrooms, every project reflects five decades of trust, transparency, and lasting relationships built within the community.
