Banton Construction Company

What Banton Construction Company does

Banton Construction Company is a privately held, family-owned general contracting and electrical contracting firm founded in 1979 by Frank Pullano and headquartered in North Haven, Connecticut. The firm operates across eight market sectors — transportation infrastructure, academic/education, electrical, corporate, housing and public spaces, historic preservation, religious facilities, and sewer/water/wastewater — serving both public-sector clients (Amtrak, Connecticut DOT, Metro-North Railroad, multiple municipalities) and private clients (Quinnipiac University, Quest Diagnostics, HMTX Industries). The company self-performs a portion of trade work, particularly electrical, and supplements capacity through a network of proven subcontractors and vendor relationships; notable large-scale deliveries include an $80+ million Hudson Line Express Cable Installation for Metro-North and work as a subcontractor on the $1.1 billion South Coast Rail expansion in Massachusetts.

The business is structured around two revenue streams: general contracting services delivered via fixed-price contracts, cost-plus contracts, and competitive public works bids, and a dedicated Electrical Division that operates as a prime subcontractor to both public and private clients throughout Connecticut. Distribution is predominantly regional and direct, with wins driven by competitive bidding on government work and long-tenured client relationships; the firm is licensed across multiple Connecticut contractor categories and carries a $200 million bonding capacity that qualifies it for large public works. The current leadership team reflects an in-progress generational transition: founder Frank Pullano remains CEO, James Nenninger was appointed President in 2022, founder's son Nicholas M. Pullano was elevated to Vice President in 2023, and Dylan Peltier was promoted to Project Executive in 2022 — all internal promotions of long-tenured operators.

With a headcount of 49, sustained participation in the Connecticut Department of Labor Apprenticeship Program (currently 7 electrical apprentices), and no external investors or parent company, Banton is positioned as a regional, founder-rooted contractor whose growth posture emphasizes disciplined public-works expansion, specialty capabilities (rail-adjacent construction, sustainable/Living Building delivery), and second-generation family continuity rather than external scale or technology disruption.
