Congratulations to R. J. Grondin & Sons for celebrating  50  Years!

Here is a snapshot of R.J. Grondin & Sons' Achievements from Over the Years:

  • Grondin was one of the prime contractors in the $160 million Maine Turnpike Widening project in southern Maine.
  • In the late 1990's, Grondin removed more than 300,000 cubic yards of ledge at two locations for Home Depot stores as part of the overall site work contracts.
  • When a 500-year storm ripped out roads and bridges in southern Maine in 1995, Grondin was called in to replace several bridges and repair main roadways that had washed away, including part of Interstate 95.
  • In the mid 1990's, Grondin was one of the four prime contractors in the construction of the $140 million Casco Bay Bridge connecting Portland, and South Portland, Maine.
  • In 1987-88, Grondin simultaneously built the roads and infrastructure for three major golf courses in southern Maine; Falmouth Country Club, The Woodlands, and Sable Oaks — at a price of $4.0 million each.
