This Veterans Day, Kinzler Corporation proudly honors the veterans across our organization whose service continues to shape the strength, reliability, and craftsmanship behind every insulation project we deliver. In both the military and the construction industry, success relies on precision, teamwork, discipline, and a commitment to doing the job right, values our veterans bring to our crews every single day.
Whether we’re installing spray foam, blown-in cellulose, fiberglass batts, commercial insulation systems, or energy-efficient building solutions, the leadership and experience of our veterans help elevate the quality and safety of every project across the Kinzler family of companies.
Discipline Carried Into the Insulation Industry
Tim Hurn, Vice President of Banker Insulation reflects on the lessons from his service that continue to guide his work and influence teams:
- Discipline drives results: Be on time, lead by example, and hold yourself 100% accountable, the same qualities required for high-quality, code-compliant insulation installation.
- Follow strong leadership: Early supervisors modeled integrity and dedication, shaping how Tim leads crews across complex job sites today.
- Teamwork wins every mission: “No person single-handedly completes a mission; it is the team that wins or loses. Iron sharpens iron.” Whether it’s a multi-story commercial insulation project or a tight attic retrofit, teamwork delivers the finished product.
- Own the details: “Do the little things as well as the greater things” — the mindset that ensures every air seal, R-value check, and safety step meets our standards of excellence.
These values don’t just build strong leaders — they build stronger, safer, more energy-efficient buildings for homeowners, contractors, and partners across the regions we serve.
Consistency Strengthens Safety & Performance
Chris Adams, Safety Director, shared a lesson from his time in the Marine Corps that still guides his approach to job site safety and insulation installation:
“Consistency will show its value on the toughest days. It’s easy to do well when everything is going right — the real test is keeping that same discipline and judgment when things are falling apart around you, building a foundation your brothers can rely on.”
This mindset directly shapes the dependable safety culture across our organization. Thank you to all the veterans within Kinzler Corporation, and our extended team who continue to serve, your service makes our teams stronger. Your values elevate our workmanship & your commitment continues to inspire our entire insulation community.
