Who We Are

Ownership is always on-site.

Founded in 1977 and led today by Donald G. Trinchero Jr., Trinchero Construction is a third-generation family business built on the same principle it started with: management shows up in the field, and every client gets the same meticulous attention to detail regardless of project size.

Serving Santa Clara, San Benito, Monterey, and Santa Cruz counties, we deliver precision civil infrastructure — from complex underground wet utilities to multi-million-dollar public works — using the latest GPS and laser-guided stakeless grading technology.
