History
Established in 1977.
Modica masonry craftsmanship dates back to 1912 when Ippolito Modica from Pozzallo, Sicily started his masonry career as an apprentice, learning from the masters in the trade. Ippolito Modica had 4 sons all of whom followed in the same footsteps as their father. Virgilio Modica Sr. was only 11 years old when he had to quit school and work full time to help support the large family of 7 children.
Because work was slim in the small Sicilian fishing village where they lived, Virgilio Sr. looked for work elsewhere and worked up in northern Italy near Milan. Then an opportunity came up for Virgilio and his brother Mike to move to America in 1967. Despite the fact that neither of them spoke any English when they immigrated, their superior masonry skills quickly led them to obtain jobs to build high rises in New York City.
As their English improved, Virgilio, Mike, and another brother Rosario decided to open up a construction business together in 1972 called Modica Bros. Inc. in Clifton, NJ
