RIFENBURG COMPANIES Ground Breaking since 1958 Specializing in earth moving and restoration of all kinds
Highways
Construction & Rehabilitation
Our highway construction projects include new highways or rehabilitation of existing highways, as well as roads in industrial parks and commercial and residential developments. Known for heavy highway construction projects, our work throughout the Capital Region and beyond includes complex reconstruction, safety improvements, road widening, and paving.
Site Development
Project Management
For site development projects, count on Rifenburg crews for being the best at moving large quantities of earth. From the initial excavation, the installation of utilities, and the fine grading and paving of roads, Rifenburg will manage the entire site project.
Airports
Airport & Runway Construction
Whenever an airport is at the center of a major construction project, the team is faced with the strict and specific regulations set forth by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). Adhering to these regulations is absolutely critical, and requires a high level of attention to detail in order to preserve the safety and security that the FAA oversees. We constantly and consistently monitor our work to ensure we were in compliance with all applicable standards.
Roundabouts
New Road Construction
NYSDOT and many Municipalities have implemented the use of roundabouts as a solution to traffic problems at busy intersections. Roundabouts are deemed safer and more efficient than standard traffic signals. Rifenburg has become one of the most experienced contractors in the region, by successfully constructing over 20 Roundabouts in New York State.
Rifenburg is one of Upstate New York's oldest and largest family-owned construction firms. Specializing in earth moving and restoration of all kinds, Rifenburg makes quick work of landfill expansions and closures, site work, highway and bridge expansion and utility installations. Between the headquarters in Troy, NY and a regional office in Raleigh, NC, Rifenburg has over 340 hardworking employees and can staff a project of any size. Working across the Northeast, Rifenburg is recognized as a leader in getting projects completed on time and safely.
In 2000, one of Rifenburg's largest projects was named by OSHA as a VPP site; one of only two such sites to get this distinction in the United States. Our North Carolina office has successfully targeted site preparation for national and international clients in the Raleigh-Durham corridor. With projects ranging from new highway construction to site work for a Japanese transmission assembly plant, we love the work and our clients love us. Since 1958, this family-owned business has satisfied customers with its dedication to the project, its emphasis on safety, and its ability to take on big challenges while getting the job done responsibly, on budget, and within the timeframe.
For more than a decade, Park East Sales has provided reliable equipment to contractors when they need a specific piece of construction equipment and a knowledgeable staff to back it up.

“To say thank you to the crew of Rifenburg Construction for the caring and safety this group has shown while doing their very difficult job for the project and in unbelievable heat as the days went on.…...This wonderful crew said they would shut down the trucks, excavator, & put their people on the ground when bus came to ensure his safety from the porch to his bus and vice versa in the afternoon while they worked in front of my home. How extra ordinary it was to see such compassion and genuine caring to give a couple of extra minutes of their time and truly be sincere in caring . This is not something commonly seen with construction companies - but your company does and with a smile. Many other people in our village have said the same thing and the complements are truly sincere. The recognition is truly deserved. We hope any future projects bring your Rifenburg crew back to our village.”

Motorist sends email to acknowledge random act of kindness: “As I was driving through the construction at the intersection of Erie Blvd and Nott St yesterday afternoon I noticed one of your workers carrying a bicycle. I looked a little closer to see he was carrying it though the site for a woman trying to navigate her way through a recent sidewalk pour. I just thought I'd let you know and say Nice Job.”
Motorist leaves a voicemail regarding a crew working on a very busy road:“I’d like to shout out the ladies directing traffic on a very dangerous stretch of road …...kudos to them for keeping things safe in a very chaotic situation each day!”
