What we do
services across the northeast
Full service excavation, site contractor, and heavy construction services
Petillo offers full-service excavation, site contracting, and heavy construction solutions backed by decades of trusted performance. With a legacy of safe, efficient delivery and a reputation as one of the premier contractors in the region, our team brings value engineering, cutting-edge equipment, and a customer-first mindset to every job site.
Our wide-ranging service portfolio is powered by our own state-of-the-art fleet, an experienced union workforce, and a deep commitment to environmental responsibility. Whether you’re breaking ground or rebuilding infrastructure, Petillo delivers with precision and professionalism.
Mission Criticial
On the kinds of projects Petillo builds, there’s no such thing as “close enough.” When the schedule is tight, the site is complex, and the work has to be right the first time, you need a contractor who can take ownership from day one. Petillo is a full service site work and heavy highway construction company serving the Northeastern United States, trusted to deliver the groundwork that everything else depends on.
We bring the experience, planning, and field execution to keep your project moving forward safely and efficiently, from early site development through final surfaces. With focused expertise in excavation, water management and distribution systems, underground utilities, erosion control and retaining walls, asphalt paving, concrete work, and environmental remediation, our teams coordinate the details that make the difference in real world conditions.
E-commerce and Distribution Centers
E-commerce and distribution facilities move fast, and the site work has to keep up. Petillo supports warehouse and logistics development across the Northeast, delivering the earthwork, grading, and infrastructure these high traffic sites demand. From major regional hubs like Steel Run Logistics in Perth Amboy to large scale warehouse development at Stateline Business Park in Mahwah, our teams understand what it takes to build for modern distribution users and maintain momentum from the first push of dirt through final completion.
These projects require more than production, they require precision. Petillo coordinates the critical details that keep schedules on track and sites performing long after turnover, including drainage and water management, underground utilities, curbing, and paving built for heavy loads and constant movement. Whether the footprint is hundreds of thousands of square feet or well over a million, we bring the equipment, experience, and field leadership to deliver durable, efficient, mission ready sites.
Industrial Development
From earthwork and utilities to water management and final surfaces, we handle the critical scope that sets the project up for success. That includes site excavation, stormwater systems, underground utilities, erosion control, concrete, and asphalt paving, delivered with the same attention to quality and accountability you need when the site is under pressure.
Specialty/Regional Impact Projects
Some projects do more than change a site, they change how a community moves, grows, and functions. Petillo supports specialty and high impact developments across the Northeast by bringing deep field experience, tight coordination, and the ability to execute complex site work when the stakes are high and the details matter. From challenging site logistics to critical infrastructure and utilities, we deliver the work that keeps larger regional initiatives on track.
