Our Values

Our story began in 1915, when founder Peter J. Hoffman and his wife Anna started a small drayage line in Jackson County, Wisconsin.

When the need for road construction arose, it was those with horse and mule teams that did the work. Pete Hoffman, with the help of a partner, went into the road business in the late teens and early twenties. By 1927, Pete was ready to go into business himself, and Hoffman Construction Company was incorporated.

Tragically, in 1927, Pete was killed at the Black River Falls railroad depot by a person referred from an employment agency. His son, Duane Hoffman, returned from college and took over the business. The business grew under Duane’s conservative management, through the Depression, World War II, and into the interstate days. Duane was joined by his two sons, Peter and David Hoffman, as they grew up in the road construction business.

Today, we are committed to being a magnet for employees and customers by providing high-quality work with a focus on safety, employee satisfaction, and customer success. We value our people and their long-term careers, operate as a family-run business, and provide the best value to the organizations we serve.
