President

Ryan Knapp started Northway Commercial Construction with a simple but profound idea. He wanted to bring the precision, expertise, wisdom, and efficiencies that he helped create and execute at a national level for over 25 years to the local Albany market. Having grown up and living his entire life in the Capital Region, Ryan began his construction career in 2009. He has privately served the upstate New York community in several diverse avenues, but continues to drive the ideals taught to him by his father at Knapp Construction some 30 years ago. Honesty, Integrity, and a job well done will always yield a good result.
