COMPANY BACKGROUND
Terry Currens started Currens Company, Inc. out of Harrodsburg, Kentucky in 1991. Terry operated Currens Company Inc. for 15 years painting and rehabilitating tanks and towers across the country until it was purchased by Caldwell Tanks, Inc. in 2006. At that time, Terry and the team at Currens Company, Inc. went to work for Caldwell Tanks, Inc. where they oversaw Caldwell's coatings and maintenance division through 2014.
​
In January 2015, Terry Currens went back out on his own and formed Currens Construction Services, LLC (Currens). The goal in the formation of Currens was to continue to provide unparalleled service during the blasting, painting, and rehabilitation of your tanks and towers. That mission remains the same today as we continue to innovate by adding new service lines to our offerings within the Water, Wastewater, and industrial markers to better serve our customers.
​
The team at Currens prides itself on caring for our people and are proud to say that there are many familiar faces still around from the original team at Currens Company, Inc. We have a culture of caring and strive for that to be felt by all our customers and industry partners. Currens is small enough to care about you and large enough to execute on your project, no matter the size.
