Since its beginning in 2011, Genesis 360 has evolved into a multi-faceted powerhouse, continually expanding its operations to meet the needs of local business owners. Founded by Opelousas native Craig Stevens, the Baton Rouge based company has quickly turned heads both locally and nationally for its all-encompassing services which include construction, ground and building maintenance, and IT services.
“Our business model is to be the Amazon of maintenance, construction, and IT,” Stevens says. Instead of relying on multiple vendors to get things done, he wants his company to be viewed as the single solution to all the problems that businesses experience. “We’re fast and reliable,” he says. “That’s how I positioned the company. We want businesses to instinctively think, ‘I know who to call … Genesis can take care of that for me.’”

By slowly adding new divisions, what began as a parking lot stripping company has grown organically into a business based on customer needs. “An owner asked me if I could do other work, such as painting and removing signs,” Stevens says. “I kept saying yes and kept meeting their expectations.” When they asked if Genesis 360 could perform construction, “a light bulb went off, and I got my commercial and residential construction license,” he adds. “That’s when I started marketing the company as a one-stop shop for maintenance and construction.”
