Tucci & Sons

What Tucci & Sons does

Tucci & Sons is a third-generation, family-owned heavy highway construction company headquartered in Tacoma, Washington, founded in 1950 by Michael J. Tucci. The company provides utilities, grading, and paving services as both general contractor and subcontractor on public and private construction projects, primarily across Pierce County and Western Washington. Its service portfolio spans the full project lifecycle, including pre-construction (feasibility studies, value engineering, earthwork analysis), estimating, construction/project management, joint venture partnering, and field execution, with disclosed capabilities in airport paving, highway construction, port facilities, and municipal infrastructure.

Tucci & Sons operates two state-of-the-art asphalt production facilities in Pierce County - the McChord Asphalt Plant in Lakewood and the Taylor Way Asphalt Plant in Tacoma - each with capacity exceeding 450 tons per hour. The plants produce a diversified asphalt mix portfolio including standard HMA, SuperPave modified, low-permeable asphalt, porous asphalt, asphalt treated base (ATB), cold mix, and recycled materials. The McChord facility also processes over 100,000 tons of recycled base course, recycled top course, and recycled asphalt product (RAP) annually, positioning the company as a regional leader in sustainable construction materials.

Customer mix is heavily weighted toward public-sector clients, including WSDOT, Port of Tacoma, US Army Corps of Engineers, National Park Service, Pierce County, and multiple municipalities (Tacoma, SeaTac, Auburn, Fife, Gig Harbor, Lakewood). Private-sector customers include Lennar, DR Horton, BNSF Railway, and Weyerhaeuser. Revenue is generated through project-based contracts (typically procured via competitive public-works bidding), unit-priced asphalt sales to municipal maintenance departments and civil contractors, and pre-construction professional services. The company maintains long-standing partnerships with three trade unions - Operating Engineers (Local 612/302), Laborers (Local 252), and Teamsters (Local 313) - and is a member of the AGC of Washington Safety Team.
