About Us
Building Dreams, Constructing Realities
Rencor's Founding
Rencor was founded in 1992 by first-generation Italian-American immigrant brothers, Ernest & Michael Renda. They grew up in a construction family, where countless uncles, brothers, and cousins worked in the field. Rencor's early work focused on underground infrastructure and utilities, but over the years has expanded to include bridge replacement, flood control systems, dam restoration, park improvements, sheeting & piling, and more.
Rencor has grown into a leading full-service heavy construction company serving New Jersey. Family-owned & operated, Rencor commits itself to the highest quality work for the communities it serves.
