A Tradition of Excellence

The success of your building depends on the stability and performance of the contractor you select. When you choose Merit Company, your project will be backed by the assurance of four decades of industry leadership across a spectrum of building trades.

As a full-service general contractor and design/builder, Merit Company has consistently received recognition at the local and national levels for its people, its projects, and its ideas since it was established by the late E.J. "Jimmy" Zarelli in 1957.

The Recognized Leader
