UTICA, N.Y. — A Rochester company has acquired the Utica–based construction business Charles A. Gaetano Construction Corp. and its spinoff company C2C Construction Solutions LLC.
The Pike company, a fifth-generation construction business, retained all employees and upper management including in-office and field staff.
“Pike was interested in establishing a Central New York office, and it made sense to merge with an established company like ours that has a loyal customer base,” Gaetano Construction President Brian Gaetano said in a press release. “The merger ensures no interruption in our local operation and provides job security for all of our employees. It’s a great day for Gaetano Construction.”

C2C works on projects of all sizes including plant renovations and rehabilitations, wood-framed buildings, and all types of metal buildings.
“This is a very exciting move for Pike,” CEO Rufus Judson said. “I am excited to combine our industry expertise and construction technologies with the amazing people and trusted relationships at Gaetano and C2C. “Our joint capabilities will increase the value we deliver to our current and future clients and will further strengthen our position in Utica, the Central New York region, and throughout the northeast.”
Founded in 1873, Pike is a family-owned company serving upstate New York and central Florida with several construction-delivery methods in the commercial, industrial, warehouse, manufacturing, health care, educational, and multi-family construction sectors.
Pike operates two construction companies. The Pike Company, Inc. provides services to non-residential markets, and LECESSE Construction Services focuses on the multi-family residential market including senior housing, apartments, and student housing.
