About Us

Our Story

Bevilacqua & Sons Inc. is a family-owned and operated, full-service general contracting firm with more than 60 years of construction experience in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Born and raised in San Francisco, founder Lou Bevilacqua began his career in the trades, working his way up from Carpenter to Foreman and Superintendent with respected firms including Lewis Merlo, Pearson & Johnson, JH Nielson, and Williams & Burrows. His hands-on experience and leadership in the field laid the foundation for a company built on craftsmanship, integrity, and long-term relationships.

In 1976, Lou formed Bevilacqua & Sons, partnering along the way with friends and colleagues as the business grew. During this period, Lou expanded the company by acquiring his former employer, Pearson & Johnson—a San Francisco construction firm founded in 1883. Over the next 20 years, while serving as President, Lou led Pearson & Johnson to become one of the largest construction firms in the Bay Area, expanding operations into the Los Angeles market.

In 1996, Pearson & Johnson dissolved, and Bevilacqua & Sons Inc. was re-established with Paulette Bevilacqua and sons Paul and Jon Bevilacqua forming the ownership team. Both Paul and Jon earned business degrees from the University of San Francisco and gained valuable hands-on experience working as Union Carpenters in the field. During the dot-com boom and through long-standing client relationships, Bevilacqua & Sons left a lasting mark on a wide range of Bay Area projects—a legacy that continues today.
