Oliver Costo, Christian Costo, Marc Costo

Welcome / Benvenuto!

Our last name Costo, in Latin, means Coast. If you go to Italy today, Costo means cost, price, expense or effort.

Our forefathers immigrated from Italy in 1905 and they were proud stone masons, church and road builders. Costo Bros. Construction was founded in 1909 and went on to build notable landmarks, roads, bridges and in response to the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, they joined the effort to build supply routes and sections of the Alaska Highway. Today we are 4th and now 5th generation licensed Builders and certified Construction Managers and have been directly responsible for successfully managing hundreds of diverse residential and commercial projects.

We believe every build, restoration or remodel we take on should be an enjoyable experience our employees, colleagues and clients will feel confident in. We take great care in understanding the unique vision and needs of each client. We are very diligent and collaborative in our project planning and we are always keen to achieve owner objectives and exceed expectations.

If you have any interest in our services, feel free to contact us and we look forward to the opportunity to work with you!
