From 1975 to today, a story of family, dedication, and unparalleled quality in commercial paving.
In 1975, Russ Calcagno saw a need in Rochester for a commercial paving contractor that operated with integrity and an uncompromising commitment to quality. With a single paving machine and a strong work ethic, he founded Alco Paving.
The mission was simple: build surfaces that last, treat clients with respect, and build a reputation one successful project at a time. This foundational philosophy became the bedrock of the company and continues to guide us today.
A decade later, Russ's son, Mark Calcagno, joined the family business. Learning the trade from the ground up, Mark absorbed the values of precision, accountability, and the critical importance of being on-site.
He didn't just learn how to pave; he learned the Alco Paving way of doing business—where a handshake still means something and the owner's personal oversight is guaranteed on every job.
Today, Mark Calcagno carries the torch as the hands-on Project Supervisor for every Alco Paving project. The equipment may be more advanced and the projects larger, but the core principles established by his father remain unchanged.
When you hire Alco Paving, you are getting nearly 50 years of institutional knowledge and a direct line to the owner on your job site. This is the legacy we bring to your project—a commitment to quality that has been passed down through generations.
