Building the Dream.
In 1959, Fred and Virginia Olivieri founded Fred Olivieri Construction Company with a clear vision: to build with integrity, hold themselves to the highest standards, and deliver quality construction that would stand the test of time. Their commitment to honesty, craftsmanship, and doing things “The Olivieri Way” became the foundation of the company’s reputation and long‑standing success. In 1980, their son, Dean Olivieri, joined the company and expanded it to new heights. Fred Olivieri Construction is now licensed to work in 38 states nationwide and specializes in commercial, retail and restaurant construction. Dean has two daughters, Sarah Olivieri Johnson, and Rachel Olivieri Doria, who are now the third generation working at the business and carrying on family tradition.
In 2020, Fred Olivieri Custom Homes was established as a new division of Fred Olivieri Construction Company. We understand that building a custom home is a deeply personal journey - your home should reflect your lifestyle, vision, and values. Drawing on decades of construction experience and relationships, our custom homes division carries forward the same values that guided Fred, Virginia and Dean from the very beginning. Today, we continue to honor their legacy by creating thoughtfully built homes rooted in integrity, excellence, and enduring quality.
