We've learned a thing or two along the way
When you build as many schools as Fontaine has, you learn a lot about constructing great projects that keep our clients happy.

Fontaine Named to Engineering News-Record's #Top400Contractors
In honor of being named one of Engineering News-Record's #Top400Contractors for the fourth consecutive year, we wanted to showcase some pictures from the past 12 months that highlight the wonderful year we have had.
From closing out projects like the Shrewsbury Police Station and DeBerry Swan Elementary School, to holding groundbreaking ceremonies for new projects such as the William R. Peck and Tyngsborough Middle Schools, to celebrating our 90th year in business, 2023-2024 has been one of our best years yet.
