Our history began in 1946 as the Barton Contracting Company. Originally we were a road construction company focused on building Minnesota's interstate highway system. For more than 20 years, Barton Contracting Company worked in all phases of highway construction including grading, concrete and bituminous paving, curb and gutter manufacturing and sewer and water installation. When highway construction activities began to subside in the late 1960s, Barton Contracting Company shifted its operations from road construction to materials supplier.
