Yonkers Contracting Co., Inc.

Founded in 1946 by Edward J. Petrillo, Yonkers Contracting Company is one of the few construction firms that has continuously operated for seventy years – without interruption and under the same name and family ownership. Under the leadership of Carl E. Petrillo, Yonkers has continued to grow. From its roots as a highway and earthwork contractor, Yonkers diversified and evolved to keep pace with the ever-changing construction marketplace. Yonkers has worked on numerous historic and iconic structures and facilities. Among these are New York’s Penn Station and Grand Central Terminal, and most of the major expressways and historic bridges in the metropolitan area, including the landmark Brooklyn Bridge. Yonkers led the joint venture that restored PATH service to the World Trade Center after the events of 9/11, and has continued to be part of the WTC rebuilding effort.

Today, the company is working on some of the region’s most significant infrastructure projects. Yonkers has successfully completed over 2,000 projects. With a portfolio of current projects in progress valued at $1.4 billion, Yonkers is a proven contractor with a strong presence in the industry.

A Yonkers tradition for over 20 years are our Holiday greeting cards, featuring watercolors of our most iconic projects over the years.
