Behind every milestone and every successful project are the people who make it possible.

Their skill, dedication, and commitment to high standards and excellence continue to fuel our progress and strengthen the trust we build with every client.
Our story is possible thanks to the people who have been a part of us along the way, whether they’re the managers who guide our company, the carpenters who work in the field, or our clients who have placed their trust in us throughout the years.
Our Legacy Brought to Life – Aarno Nurminen’s Founding Story
Upon arriving in the United States from Finland in 1959, Aarno has always been incredibly motivated and devoted to achieving his goals – constantly turning visions into reality. An excellent example of this is seen in his founding story of Nurminen Construction.
When Aarno arrived to the U.S., he started off living in New York City and working for Save the Children Federation, but had relatives living in Teaneck, NJ, where he went during most weekends to visit. He eventually moved to Teaneck, became involved in construction work, married, and with the support of his wife Sirkka, they began their own construction company – Nurminen Construction Corporation officially commenced work in 1970, for their first client, A&P Supermarkets.
