Our Team

Lou LaMarca is a 2nd generation contractor who comes from a very skilled contractor/Entrepreneur/ Father, Lou LaMarca Sr, who taught him the value of hard work and imbedded in him the sense that it isn’t enough to merely perform a trade, but strive to do it better than anyone else. As a young boy, Lou would tag along with his father and spend as much time as he could on his fathers job sites. It was not just due to him enjoying spending time with his father, he also loved watching projects progress from start to finish. Lou officially got his start in construction at the age of 13 as a labor on job sites during summer break. After high school he quickly worked his way up to a carpenter helper where he learned the importance of “measure twice, cut once” and started sharpening his skill. In all of the years since, his attention-to-detail and commitment to owner satisfaction have been a large part to his success in construction whether in his early days as a field worker and now as a business owner. Lou is the qualifier for all state GC licenses the company holds.
