Yonkers Contracting Company was founded by Edward J. Petrillo, who’s founding philosophy was best stated when describing the new firm in 1945:

​

“A corporation with a social conscience that provides gainful employment for its people and renders a distinctive service to its clients”. 

Edward J. Petrillo, Founder

 

Today, under Carl Petrillo’s leadership, Yonkers has grown and diversified from its roots as an earthwork contractor, to today with Yonkers delivering design-bid-build, design-build and other alternate and conventional project delivery contracts with quality and safety, on-time and on-budget, across our core markets which include highways, bridges, rail, transit, water/wastewater, energy and environmental projects, site work and foundations, as well as commercial developments.

 

Over the years, Yonkers has worked on numerous historic and iconic structures including New York’s Penn Station, Grand Central Terminal, and the Park Avenue Railroad Tunnel; historic bridges including the Manhattan and Williamsburg Bridges and the landmark Brooklyn Bridge; and most of the major highways in the NY metropolitan area. Yonkers led the joint venture that restored PATH service to the World Trade Center after 9/11 and went on to reconstruct the foundations for the WTC Towers 3 & 4 and the WTC Vehicle Security Center.
