Founded in 1974 by Bill Larkin and Ron Scott, L & S Construction is one of California’ s leading underground specialists. With roots in pipeline installation and sewer system infrastructure, the company maintains decades of success thanks to its dedicated workforce and unflinching focus on quality.

The company found its feet as a twoman operation, based in the founder’ s garage. In the 51 years since, it’ s risen to statewide success. As Vice President, Mike Kinney, begins:“ They began by offering basic infrastructure and water system maintenance – mostly working on raising manholes and valves for local municipalities. The company grew into a pipeline specialist from there.
“ We now work primarily on below ground infrastructure. We install all the pipelines and associated structures that keep sewer, water, and storm drain systems running. One element that really sets us apart is our long-term relationships with some of the most talented and dedicated employees. The company’ s first employee, Paul Sengir, was with the business for over 35 years.”
