Contracting
A well-established and long-standing company, Curran has built trusting relationships with its clients, which means many of them keep returning to benefit from its services. Curran develops these working relationships through its handson approach and customer-centric values, delivering projects as an entire team from start to finish, and aiming for on-time, underbudget project completion. Not only does it offer preconstruction services to assist with budgeting and value engineering, but Curran truly cares about the clients’ ongoing journey, standing behind its work and continuing to support the project upon completion.
With the Curran family at the helm, people are regarded as an essential element to the organization’ s success, and this approach can be seen as part of its growth strategy. For example, in June 2025, the business acquired Schuepfer, Inc., a respected Illinoisbased excavation and soil stabilization firm with more than four decades of proven expertise. Another family-founded company, the unification of Schuepfer, Inc with Curran merged over a century of combined experience and shared values.
“ This isn’ t just about expansion, it’ s about uniting two family-rooted companies who share the same heartbeat,” said Jason Recob, President of Curran Contracting in a press release.“ The Schuepfer team brings over 40 years of industry integrity and know-how to a company approaching its 90th year. That’ s more than 130 years of experience, family values, and pride in what we build.”
This commitment to forwardthinking partnerships extends to Curran’ s environmental practices as well. Efforts to protect the environment are highly important to Curran which is why its three ultra-modern asphalt facilities in McHenry, Belvidere and Dekalb. embrace advanced recycling and sustainability technologies. Interestingly, asphalt is 100 percent reusable and is recycled at a higher rate than any other material in the US, which highlights Curran’ s commitment to environmental responsibility.
Alongside these innovative practices in asphalt production, it also offers a full range of asphalt contracting infrastructure solutions which go far beyond simply laying the asphalt. Such contracting services include paving, reconstruction, crushing and recycling,
