Welcome to The Grey Haired Guys Homepage!

	Ken Palin Founder of FLOORWORKS, Facility Restoration and Construction Services, and The Grey Haired Guys. Ken participated in construction projects from the age of fourteen. As teenagers, our family owned a masonry company constructing and repairing brick and concrete block buildings to start, then contracted for all the masonry work on ESPN’s very first building located one mile from our home in Bristol, CT. A few years later, our family purchased a scaffolding company and started constructing, leasing, and selling scaffold all over New England, a perfect complement to masonry work. As the business grew, the company contracted to erect scaffolding and conducted repairs at numerous colleges, churches, Yale University in New Haven, West Point Academy, Paul Newman’s’ Restaurant, and Phil Donahue’s’ Estate, to name a few. In later years, Ken relocated to Dallas and invested five years as a commercial project manager installing concrete floor coatings in restaurants, manufacturing plants and airplane hangars. Residential floor coatings and swimming pool concrete coatings were installed under the name of FLOORWORKS. Ken invested the next five years as a project manager for a commercial paving company. In 1999, Ken founded Facility Restoration and Construction Services, a commercial general contracting company. The Grey Haired Guys simply evolved as we grew and gracefully aged over the years.
