About Us
Built on Experience. Driven by Integrity. Engineered for Excellence.

From new construction to complex renovations, we offer more than just general contracting—we deliver engineering-driven solutions that bring confidence and long-term value to every project.
Our Story
A Legacy of Detail and Dedication
Franco Pagano, Founder
Pagano Builders started with one goal in mind: to raise the standard of what homeowners and architects could expect from a construction firm. With deep expertise in both engineering and construction, Franco Pagano built a team that could not only execute exquisite homes but also anticipate and solve structural challenges before they ever became problems.
Since our founding, we’ve worked on high-end homes and commercial properties throughout Fairfield and Westchester counties, as well as special projects in NYC, Southampton, Nantucket, Costa Rica, and more. While our focus remains on the tri-state area, our reputation for quality has taken us far beyond it.
