About Us

Curran Contracting, owned by the Curran family for four generations with the fifth now joining the legacy, began in 1918 as William Curran’s Metropolitan Coal & Ice. As markets shifted, we transitioned to asphalt services in 1936, building a reputation for quality and timely paving. Strategic acquisitions have bolstered our ability to serve Chicagoland’s North, Northwest, and West Suburban regions, solidifying our position as a leader in site development. Our trusted industry partnerships further enhance our ability to deliver exceptional results. Today, Curran Contracting remains committed to excellence and reliability as we continue building tomorrow together—with you.

Curran Contracting has been a pleasure to work with at every position across the company. From an extremely knowledgeable pre-construction team to their proactive and proficient project management, safety, field, and office personnel. I couldn’t be happier with the performance of their team, and their commitment to achieve the goals of the project. We look forward to engaging them on our next successful project.

The Curran Contracting team performed very well for us on the Mercy Hospital – Rockford project. Both project management and field leadership were fully invested and engaged in the project from start to finish. The team was extremely responsive, collaborated well with Mortenson and other trade contractors, and brought a proactive and solution-oriented approach to project challenges. Curran played a key role in the successful delivery of the project!

Vice President of Operations, Mortenson Construction

Curran Contracting worked alongside Mackie Consultants on a project with Waste Management widening and improving roadways. Even with non-anticipated site conditions, Curran was able to keep the lines of communication open, getting the job done correctly and on schedule. Waste Management was very pleased with the job and the roadway continues to hold up. I highly recommend Curran Contracting, they have the personnel, resources, equipment and experience to get the job done with great quality in a timely manner.

Curran Contracting is dedicated to building a true partnership with a focus on looking out for their clients. We can always count on their team to quickly respond to the needs of the project. When challenges arise, the Curran team shows up with solutions and is ready to support the team in whatever means necessary.   

Without reservation, I would highly recommend Curran. They are valued trade partners. They are great people and they are aligned with Mortenson’s values.
