The Firm

A family trade, passed down.

Yarussi Construction is a family-owned masonry and restoration firm based in Warren, New Jersey — the work of a father and son, with decades of practice behind the trowel.

Our Story

Built stone by stone.

The firm began the way most good masonry firms begin — on a job site, with a father teaching a son how to read a wall. Decades later, the same two hands set the standard for every crew that bears the family name.

We have made our practice in the buildings that quietly define our communities: apartment houses and brownstones, schools and civic buildings, the bell towers and stone walls of historic churches. Many of those churches we are honored to restore — a privilege a Catholic family does not take lightly.

We are not the largest firm in New Jersey. We have never wanted to be. We are interested in doing this work well, leaving each building better than we found it, and answering personally for the result.

Our Values

Permanence. Honesty. Pride.

The work is meant to last longer than we will. We hold ourselves to that standard on every facade, in every joint of mortar, on every job we accept.

A Word on Heritage

The buildings tell the story of the community.

To restore a brownstone in Hoboken, a school in Newark, or a bell tower in Bernardsville is to participate in the architectural memory of New Jersey. We approach each project as stewards, not contractors.
