History
We were founded in 1921
as Chicago Concrete Breaking Company. Soon after, we made our name
with an extremely challenging high-profile project removing a large
section of retaining wall along a functioning stretch of railroad,
on the east side of Michigan Ave. Despite a driving snowstorm and
those who said it could not be done, our passion, ingenuity and
expertise proved we were here to stay. It was the origin of our
famed company motto: Wanted: A hard job.
Over the next nine decades we have continued to
prove ourselves as a partner devoted to our clients above all else.
We have remained driven by relationships where we can help our
clients grow and succeed, rather than looking just at the projects
or profit.
Our clients are the most respected names in their fields.
And we've earned a solid reputation in the industry for providing
thoughtful, innovative, collaborative solutions to our clients'
ever-changing needs. To take a look at the challenges,
relationships and successes that have gotten us where we are today,
