Steve Kovacik, Director of Operations

Steve has over 20 years of management and service experience in the Vail Valley.  Our clients appreciate his reliable communications, sincere focus on relationships and prompt professionalism. He consistently finishes projects on-schedule and under-budget, making him the first choice for Associations, homeowners and vendors.  Over the last 10 years, Steve’s focus has been on Community Association management & services, and high-end remodels.  His major projects have included roof, stair and siding replacements, asphalt, landscaping, and painting on the commercial scale.  Steve is adept at managing the complex relationships between homeowners, contractors, boards, and municipalities.   After finishing college at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, he moved to Vail in 1994 and opened a restaurant.  When asked where he learned his communication & negotiating skills, he once said: “My mother, of course, but you learn more about people trying to close your bar at 2 AM during Vail Spring Break!”  Steve regularly donates his time to The Homestake Peak Middle School, where he coaches soccer.  Steve has called Vail home for over 20 years, enjoying all that our Valley has to offer. He and his wife are raising their three children in West Vail.
