Company Profile
Pizzagalli Construction Company
Company Overview
Pizzagalli Construction Company is one of the nation´s largest employee-owned contractors offering general contracting, construction, construction management, and design/build services to private and public clients on projects of all sizes — from a single office fit-up to treatment plants valued at over $250 million.
Company History
In 1958, Angelo G. Pizzagalli and two of his sons, Angelo and Remo, founded Pizzagalli Pre-Cast Stone to handle masonry construction and manufacture cut stone. Since the beginning, the Pizzagalli family infused its company with strong core values.
The company quickly expanded into residential and remodeling projects, necessitating a name change to Pizzagalli Construction Company in 1960. Upon the death of Angelo G., the masonry operation was phased out and focus shifted to commercial, industrial, and institutional building projects.
With Angelo and Remo at the helm and younger brother Jim joining the team, the company grew by leaps and bounds over the next few years. They attracted expert construction professionals with diverse backgrounds and formed a team that would become Vermont’s largest construction company by 1964. As Pizzagalli expanded, so did its reach – projects spread across the United States and into the Caribbean. Since the mid-1980s, the company has been consistently ranked among the top 200 largest construction firms in the Nation by Engineering News-Record.
Pizzagalli's success over the past 50 years is due to its employees' dedication to excellent work, customer service that exceeds expectations, and a safety program that has led to hundreds of thousands of zero-accident hours. Honesty and open communication have empowered Pizzagalli's workforce since day one, and it shows in our work.
