With over 75 years of experience, Gallo Construction has established itself as a trusted leader in the construction industry throughout the Northeast. Renowned for our commitment to quality, safety, and on-time performance, we deliver a level of service that sets us apart from other firms.
Our roots date back to the early 1920s as a window fabrication company. Over the decades, we evolved steadily—from custom homes and high-end carpentry in the mid-20th century to larger-scale private and municipal projects in the 1960s and 1970s. A pivotal rebranding in the 1980s marked our shift to a focus exclusively on commercial and municipal work, fueling our continued expansion through the 1990s and beyond.
Today, Gallo Construction specializes in complex municipal buildings, educational facilities, and heavy civil infrastructure, including bridges, water and wastewater treatment plants, utilities, and pump stations. Our diverse portfolio and long-standing reputation are a testament to our enduring values and commitment to excellence.
We’re proud of our legacy—and we’re looking for passionate professionals to help shape our future.
