Our logo incorporates the City of Wichita flag — a small detail, but one that reflects where we're from and who we work for.
Where the Flag Came From
In 1937, Wichita's city manager asked the American Legion to run a citywide flag design contest. Local artist Cecil McAlister won it, beating out more than 100 other submissions for a $40 prize. The city adopted the design on Flag Day, June 14, 1937, and the first flag — sewn by Wichita seamstress Mary J. Harper — flew over City Hall on July 23, 1937.
Why the Wichita Flag?
The design carries meaning: a blue circle at the center representing happiness and contentment, a white center symbol often described as a hogan representing a permanent home, and radiating red and white stripes representing the freedom to come and go as you please. We liked the idea of a symbol built around a durable home and things moving freely — it fits what we do.
A Flag That Actually Ranks
This isn't just local sentiment. In a 2004 survey by the North American Vexillological Association, flag design experts and enthusiasts scored 150 U.S. city flags. Wichita's placed 6th with an 8.41 out of 10, just behind Washington D.C., Chicago, Denver, Phoenix, and St. Louis — and ahead of the other 144 flags surveyed. It's a well-regarded piece of design, not just a hometown favorite.
A Symbol Wichitans Actually Use
For most of its history the flag was obscure even in Wichita. That changed around 2015, when a wave of local "flag fever" put it on shirts, cups, koozies, wall art, and skateboards across the city. Putting it in our logo is our small way of joining that.

We're a locally owned company, not a franchise, and the people who answer your call are the same people who show up at your door. Putting the city flag in our logo is a small detail, but it's meant as a straightforward statement: this is a Wichita company, working on Wichita homes.
