History
Joseph Malcarne comes from a lineage of talented craftsmen. Ever been to Gillette’s Castle in East Haddam, CT? If not, it is a great place to visit. The point is, Joseph’s great-grandfather was responsible for the amazing woodworking in this castle that was once owned by William Gillette. It has some very intriguing carved door latches and locks! At the young age of 13, Joseph had the skill and determination to accomplish almost any project; he built railroad tie walls, brick walks and driveways, stone patios and more. Before long, he managed the projects himself and directed a team of workers several years his senior. Joseph opened Malcarne Contracting on April 26th, 1996. Starting with renovation projects, the company grew to handle increasingly complex projects, including all phases of renovation, additions, gut rehabs, modulars, and new construction. Today, Malcarne Contracting is one of the largest construction companies in the Hudson Valley. Joseph loves working with people and infuses Malcarne Contracting with a work ethic that is tried and true and is what we now think of as “old-fashioned values”. We are the way it used to be… but better!
Our Philosophy
We choose to care for you. Building partnerships, one project at a time. Every renovation and construction project is the formation of a partnership between Malcarne Contracting, our employees, and you. Every action we take is aligned with the vision of your completed construction project. We’re not just dedicated, we’re nurturing. Construction projects can be packed with emotional challenges. The process can be inconsistent, uncomfortable, and frustrating. We completely understand and we’ll be there for you every step of the way. We’re patient, calm, and tolerant. We have the expertise, talent, and maturity to make the process of your project a stress-free experience for you. It’s part of our promise to you. We have amazing employees and we plan to keep them. Our Team consists of some of the most talented, highly skilled craftsmen around. The office motto is, “Work. Productivity. Fun.” Their work ethic, knowledge, and character are unsurpassed by any construction team in the area. So, we’re planning to keep them. We treat them with the same respect and consideration as we do our clients. That’s how we maintain a mutual commitment to each other – and to you.
