Building on Legacy, Paving the Future: Delivering Excellence in Concrete Craftsmanship
Our history can be traced back to 1969, when poured foundations were unknown among builders and homeowners. Most basements were constructed with a block wall, which was sufficient for building at the time. However, a new phenomenon was sweeping the nation: poured foundations. Joe Ragone, who had already worked in the concrete industry, decided to start a business for his passion, thus finding Ragone Foundations Inc. His objectives for the company were simple at the time: to provide a quality poured foundation for a reasonable price to builders and homeowners.
As the concrete industry in the Capital Region grew, so did Ragone Foundations, tackling such projects as the Van Patten developments throughout Clifton Park, NY, and other various neighborhoods throughout the surrounding cities of the Albany and Saratoga regions. In the 80s and early 90s, Ragone continued to receive constant growth in the residential market and also developed into the commercial concrete industry. To this day, the business is still family-owned and operated.
The future for Ragone Foundations is simple: to continue providing outstanding service along with straight, level, and square foundations. Our company plans to expand our relationships in the Capital Region market and into other markets in the country. We continue to invest in tools that have genuinely changed and modernized the concrete industry. We will maintain our reputation that we will listen to clients' requests when they call. Instead of creating excuses when problems arise, we will face them head-on and develop lasting solutions, and most of all, when our client has a question, we will respond.
