Carmen Construction
Celebrates Over 60 Years of Serving Summit County

Carmen Construction Co., Inc., celebrated its Golden Anniversary September 16, 2000. Since 1950, the Tallmadge company has served the area with all types of general construction work, including new buildings, building additions, and remodeling.

The history behind Carmen Construction Co. dates back to the late 1930's At that time, Carmen Scaccio, the company's founder, was an 18-year-old living in Irondale, Ohio. When a construction company came to town to build a new high school, Scaccio asked for a job and was hired. He worked so hard mixing mortar that the bricklayers could not keep up with him.

Carmen Construction Company has taken pride in its stellar record of promptly completing all projects with quality work

That strong work ethic was a sign of things to come and has remained with Scaccio throughout the years. In 1950 Scaccio discovered that many people wanted to hire him to complete construction projects, so he founded Carmen Construction Co.

Since then, Carmen Construction has grown into a company that employees approximately 30 people. Many of the employees have been in the construction business for many years. Some recent projects include the Tallmadge Municipal Buildings, Summit County Mogadore Branch Library, Fairlawn Municipal Building, Lawton Street Community Center/City of Akron, Cuyahoga Falls High School/Middle School Renovation, and many other private projects.
