THE EVOLUTION OF MAZZOLA CONSTRUCTION & CONSULTING Tracing the roots of Mazzola Construction & Consulting reveals a story of ambition, skill, and steady growth. John’s path from a precocious teenager building in his parent’s basement to the head of a renowned construction firm is not just a career trajectory but a journey marked by persistent innovation and a deepening understanding of the craft. John’s journey in construction began in his youth, remodeling his parents’ basement at 14 and working for LR Ross, a coveted custom builder, during his college years. He recounts the early days with nostalgia and pride, explaining that after completing his education at Viterbo University, he embarked on his entrepreneurial journey. It began modestly with small projects like fences and decks but swiftly expanded.“As the business grew, so did the complexity of the projects. We soon found ourselves managing half-million-dollar remodels and getting into home construction,” he reflects. This evolution was accompanied by a growing team, additional vehicles, and more sophisticated equipment, all signifying the upward trajectory of Mazzola Construction. The success of his initial venture spurred John to broaden his horizons. In 2017, he launched Great River Homes and Little River Homes, each focusing on distinct housing market segments. “These subsidiaries, specializing in twin homes, condos, and townhomes, represent our venture into more community-focused projects,” John elaborates.
