A History Of Excellence

When the late Sam DiGeronimo came to the United States in 1928 from Abruzzi, Italy, little did he realize the impact his life’s work would have on the City of Cleveland. Sam and his son Don started Independence Excavating in 1956 with a backhoe, bulldozer, truck and only a few employees. Today, the DiGeronimo Companies provide integrated services throughout the United States.
