Building in Cranford and Union County: What Shapes the Work

Published by DiFabio Construction Company

DiFabio Construction Company is based in Cranford, in Union County, New Jersey. We have worked from here since Anthony DiFabio founded the company in 1972, and the character of established towns like ours shapes how construction work gets done.

Established streets, tight quarters

Many Union County neighborhoods were built out long ago. Streets are lined with mature trees, homes and businesses sit close to the curb, and the space under the road carries generations of utilities. Excavation here is precise work: the right size machine, careful digging around existing lines, and protection for roots, curbs and driveways.

Older infrastructure

Older towns have older water and sewer systems. Replacing and repairing them is a steady part of water, sewer and utility work across the region, and it often means working in streets that residents use every day.

Water and low ground

Cranford is a river town; the Rahway River runs through it. Wherever water is close by, drainage and groundwater are part of planning a dig, and good curb, sidewalk and grading work matters for keeping stormwater moving where it should.

Residents and businesses nearby

In a downtown or residential block, every job has neighbors. Keeping access open, keeping the site tidy and restoring curbs and sidewalks promptly through our masonry division are part of being a good contractor in a town where people will see the result for years.

Local roots, wider reach

Being based here does not limit where we work. We serve municipal, state, federal, heavy commercial and industrial clients across New Jersey. Visit our Cranford location page for our address and hours, or read how one contractor for excavation, masonry and utility work simplifies a job.
