Joe Vicini Inc.

Joe Vicini, Inc. is a general engineering contractor based at 315 Placerville Drive in Placerville, California, in the Sierra foothills east of Sacramento. Joe and Lillian Vicini started the company with their son Gordon in 1948, and it has remained in the family for more than 75 years. It serves four counties: El Dorado, where it is based, plus Amador, Placer and Sacramento.

Paving is the service most visible to the public: driveway repairs and repaving for homeowners, and parking lot construction for commercial property. Behind that sits the broader general engineering scope, which includes excavation, grading, house pads and putting in underground utilities. The company has built for schools and hospitals as well as for commercial and residential developments, so it is set up for institutional bid work alongside private jobs.

Joe Vicini, Inc. positions itself as a single contractor for the whole site sequence, from cutting the grade and trenching utilities through to the finished asphalt, which is a practical advantage in foothill terrain where drainage and slope work usually precede any paving. The company's website is brief and directs prospective clients to phone or email the Placerville office.
