About Kess Line

These old, worn-out boots tell a story. They were Kevin’s very first pair of line boots—worn until the leather gave out but never the drive behind them.

EVERY STEP IN THESE BOOTS WAS PART OF A BIGGER DREAM

To one day own a line contracting company.

Today, with bucket trucks in the background and a company built from the ground up, this image is more than just boots—it’s proof that hard work, sacrifice, and dedication can turn vision into reality.

From the first climb to building Kess Line Services, these boots remind us where we started and why we keep pushing forward.
