About JB Ragonese Construction

JB Ragonese Construction, Inc. is a family-run business that has been in business since 1978. We specialize in sewer line maintenance, water line & water main services, and all-site restoration.

Our founder, Joseph Ragonese and a helper started JB Ragonese Construction, Inc. in Garwood, NJ. The business began with a backhoe and a truck. Still, over the years, it has grown into a full-service construction company specializing in commercial, residential, industrial, and municipal work.

Before opening the JB Ragonese Construction yard, Joseph served his country as a soldier in the Army. After being honorably discharged, he came home and trained in plumbing and drainage at Union County Vocational School. While at the same time, Joseph worked for the Garwood Department of Public Works (DPW) on sewer and road assignments.

Joseph Ragonese started JB Ragonese Construction, Inc. when he realized many people did not have the time or money to do their excavation and plumbing work. He had the pleasure of working with an uncle in the excavating business and another uncle who was a plumber. So he decided to join the two specialties, realizing it would give customers better service.

Joseph enjoyed the excavation and plumbing trades and saw the value in performing quality service in his community. Joseph made it possible to deal with one contractor for the sewer & water work and excavation & restoration. The decision to start his company confirmed Joseph Ragonese’s tenacity, work ethic, and fearlessness all paid off. Over the years, the company has grown tremendously and owns all necessary equipment for excavating, sewer, and water work. JB Ragonese Construction, Inc. has stayed true to its original principles and is big enough to handle all the potential excavating and plumbing needs of its clients and customers 24/7.
