There is plenty of work to go around for contractors as the state continues to reopen. A U.S. Census Bureau survey showed the number of residential housing permits jump in May after dropping seven percent between March and April. That is good news for Tom Kinnard from Kinnard Heating and Cooling in Sturgeon Bay, who says the construction of smaller homes in northeast Wisconsin has kept his crews busy despite the virus-induced slowdown.

Kinnard says the size of construction sites have allowed businesses from different trades to be able to work together on the same project while also following the proper safety precautions.
