Sindoni Bros Construction was founded in 2018 by brothers Alex and Zachary Sindoni. Headquartered in Haverhill, Mass., the company's primary focus is building construction in northeastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire.
The brothers pride themselves on having a passion for exceptional craftsmanship and personalized service. As a family-owned business, their name is associated with every project that they complete, and it is of the utmost importance to them that each of these projects reflects well on them.
Sindoni Bros Construction offers a comprehensive variety of high-quality construction services. Alex and Zachary relies on having the right employees and equipment that allows them to handle any project of any scale with unwavering attention to detail. They offer the diversity to work with each customer from the original concept, site work, foundation, framing and the finishing touches.
Complete turnkey projects are not Sindoni Bros' only expertise. The company was started with a heavy focus on framing and its services are still available for customers who are looking for just that aspect of its services. It also offers residential remodeling, custom additions and outdoor structure construction. To complete this wide variety of tasks the company has worked closely with Alta Equipment to put together a fleet of equipment that is exclusively made up of JCB machines.
One of the key machines in the equipment fleet is the JCB 50Z mini-excavator.
"We are not an excavation company, but with the type of work that we do a mini-excavator is an extremely useful tool," said Zachary Sindoni. "Whether it be moving materials, backfilling, utility work or digging out for footings, we get an awful lot of use out of our JCB excavator. It has made such a big difference for our crews to have essentially eliminated shovel work."
One of the first purchases made by Sindoni Bros Construction was a JCB 510-56 telehandler.
"The diversity of projects that this telehandler is used for is never ending," said Alex Sindoni. "Some of them are pretty obvious — moving materials of any sort around the site, lifting roofing materials into place. Before this telehandler, we had to haul around heavy ladders and place each item in position by hand. It's a huge time saver and is much easier for our employees. The work is not only easier, but it is significantly safer.
"I have been in a lot of telehandlers, but as soon as I got in the cab of the JCB I knew that this one was different and was going to be the right machine for us," he added. The visibility, the controls and features are all a step above anything I had experienced before. Another hidden value to all of the equipment that we purchase from Alta Equipment is how it reflects on us as a company. When we pull into the job site with a truckload of like-new construction equipment versus a truckload of ladders and shovels, it speaks loudly to the level of professionalism that our company offers."
Sindoni Bros Construction's JCB model 407 compact wheel loader also has proven to be a very useful piece of equipment with a wide variety of applications. It's an 11,000-lb. machine with 64 hp and a payload capacity of 3,600 lbs.
According to Zachary Sindoni, "The loader is particularly useful for us when doing renovations. As we gut the inside of a structure, all of the materials can be thrown into the bucket of the loader and be dumped directly into the dumpster. As has been the case with every other JCB machine we have purchased, it's a huge time and back saver. Before we purchased the loader, our guys were tearing out plaster, putting the plaster into barrels and then carrying the barrels to the dumpster. This is so much better for everyone involved.
"If we don't have the boom lift on site, we can put a set of forks on the loader and use it to move materials around the job site," he added. "Of course, in the winter months, it is extremely useful for snow removal. We went with the compact size of the 407 because we often find ourselves working in very tight areas, and often having to maneuver where homes have been built close together or the building lots are particularly small."
Sindoni Bros Construction's most recent purchase is a JCB telescopic boom lift.
"We are only just beginning to find all of the applications for this machine," Alex Sindoni said. "One of the more obvious ones is another method of installing windows. We can put one of our guys right on the platform with the window in hand, take him two or three stories in the air, position him right in front of the window opening, and put the window in place. But that's just one example. Any time you need a person in the air, it's the safe, fast and easy way to do it. Much like the telehandler, it makes our life easier and eliminates the need for hauling around 30- and 40-foot-long ladders.
"The other important aspect is safety. It is far safer particularly when you are dealing with weather conditions, to send your employee up in the air in a telescopic boom versus all of the dangers that come with using ladders."
Sindoni Bros Construction has stayed loyal to Alta Equipment and the JCB brand for a number of reasons, one of which is the quality of people at Alta Equipment.
"Our sales representative, Ryan Sears has been great to work with," said Zachary Sindoni. "One of the main things is that he picks up the phone anytime we call. You would be amazed at how many salespeople don't do that. He has walked us through each purchase and has carefully matched us up with the right model machine for our application. We are not equipment experts, and we rely heavily on him for guidance.
"When we bought the mini-excavator, we thought we knew which model we needed and he actually talked us down a size, which saved us significantly. The service and product support from Alta Equipment has been excellent. Our company is growing fast. We have more members of the family that are now working with us, which has allowed us to tackle multiple projects at the same time and will ultimately allow us to continue with strong growth. Down the road, I see us continuing to invest in additional construction equipment purchases and Alta Equipment will certainly be our first call."
