Bancroft Contracting

Bancroft Contracting Corporation is a generational family-owned heavy industrial general contracting firm that has been making significant contributions to the construction industry since its establishment in 1977 by Al Bancroft. Headquartered in South Paris, Maine, the company was handed over to his son, Mark Bancroft, who became president in 2002 and acquired the company in 2004. This familial legacy has not only contributed to the company’s foundation but has also instilled a strong value system focused on relationship-building and customer satisfaction.

Bancroft Contracting stands out in the general contracting arena due to its commitment to self-performing a majority of its projects.

This allows Bancroft to utilize a diverse range of skilled trades including structural welders, millwrights, pipe fitters, industrial electricians, riggers, and skilled laborers, enabling them to deliver projects efficiently and effectively.

Bancroft Contracting operates primarily in Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont, with capabilities to mobilize to Massachusetts, New York, and the Mid-Atlantic region when required. The company has even extended its services to locations as far west as Chicago and as far south as Louisiana on occasion, showcasing its adaptability and readiness to meet client needs across a broad geographic area.
