After Cardi Jr. and Larry took
over, they renamed the company DeMonaco Brothers
Construction. They specialized in custom finish carpentry
and residential building. In late 1960 Larry escalated the
company into the commercial field, separating from his
brother Cardi and creating what is now, Lawrence L.
Construction Inc., and has been for over 40 years.
Larry's three sons, Larry Jr., Dominic and Joseph, today
still carry on the family business. President, Lawrence L. DeMonaco, 1967 to Present. |
