Since 1963, Gerace Construction has been a cornerstone of Midland, Michigan, and a leader in heavy civil construction across North America. Founded by Frank Gerace, our company was built on the principles of hard work, integrity, and craftsmanship. Over the decades, we have grown into a trusted name in the industry, specializing in hydroelectric dam service, repair, and maintenance, solar field installation, heavy structural fabrication, pile driving, ground up design build, and complex infrastructure projects. We are proud to be a union contractor, employing skilled American tradesmen and women who bring expertise, dedication, and a commitment to excellence to every job.

We are proudly led by Tom Valent— who began his career at Gerace in 1973. Tom toiled in the field for nine years in large Project Management before ascending into various leadership roles throughout the organization in the 1980’s and 90’s. Tom is now unwaveringly our hard working President. Tom is patriotic Army Veteran having served as an Officer in the Army Combat Corps of Engineers. Tom is also a licensed Engineer and a leader of exceptional character, patience and virtue.—Gerace Construction continues to thrive under strong, principled leadership. Tom embodies the values that have always defined our company: discipline, innovation, and a deep respect for both our employees and our clients. He carries forward our legacy while ensuring we remain at the forefront of industry advancements, constantly developing new ways to improve efficiency and deliver the highest quality work.

What truly sets us apart is our culture of loyalty and respect.
