The grading comes before the paving. We do both. A licensed general engineering contractor with 25 people and our own trucks — the crew that cuts the base is the crew that lays the surface, and the base is where a driveway is won or lost.
Paving, grading, excavating and asphalt for residential and commercial customers — the BBB files us as a general engineering contractor, a concrete contractor, a paving contractor and a mason contractor, and that is genuinely the spread of the work.
Driveways, lots and access roads — new pavement laid over a base we cut ourselves.
Getting the fall right before anything gets poured or paved. This is the part that decides whether water sits on your driveway.
Concrete and masonry work alongside the paving, under the same general engineering license.
Excavation, dirt work and earthmoving with our own equipment and drivers.
Demolition and site clearing — the same crew that trades as Galante Brothers Demolition & Construction.
Residential and commercial jobs both, from a single driveway to full site installations.
Galante Brothers General Engineering has been on the Better Business Bureau's books since 1982, accredited since 2010, and rated A+. It is still a family business — Tom, Jack and Donna Galante — with 25 people on the payroll.
The California Contractors State License Board lists General Engineering license #426669 as active, with a $15,000 bond and workers' compensation coverage on file. The trucks are registered with the federal motor carrier system under USDOT #2806309 — three power units and three drivers of our own, so the hauling runs on our schedule.
The permit record runs through San Jose and out across the valley: Cupertino, Campbell, Los Altos, Los Altos Hills, Atherton and San Carlos.
Based in San Jose, with permitted work on the public record across Santa Clara County and down the Peninsula:
We have pulled permits as far out as Salinas. Call and ask — if it is too far, we will say so.
