Notable contract wins include the P371 Utilities Investment project (prime contract value exceeding $27 million) at Portsmouth Naval Shipyard in Kittery, Maine.

The business is controlled by the Valenti family, with Geselle Valenti as President, Christopher Valenti as Vice President, and Michael Valenti III as Director of Operations. In January 2025 the company celebrated its 25th anniversary and announced the next generation of the family entering the business.
