1926 to the present
80 years ago, Charles Goldblum founded Stamford Wrecking Company. Recycling even in the 1920’s, we sold building supplies, plumbing supplies and lumber. The reusable lumber he sold to area builders, while scraps and wood unsuitable for construction was sold to bakeries to keep their ovens fired.
By starting small, gaining experience and public confidence, Stamford Wrecking received further name recognition in 1938 by obtaining the contract for the private residence and stable of Percy Rockefeller.
As each generation has learned the knowledge of the past, we continue to learn and enhance our high good will and solid reputation in this industry. We also continually strive to exceed the highest standards in the industry for innovation and safety.
These 80 years have given us experience with all types of projects including residential, commercial, industrial demolitions and implosions; specialty structures including smoke stacks and towers; historic structures and tank removals. We now also perform remediation of soils, asbestos, hazardous materials, pesticides and oils together with substantial site services and new construction. The next generation looks forward to the future challenges of this industry.
