Using Old-World Craftsmanship in New High-End Homes

When Victor Zucchi arrived from Italy and established Victor Zucchi & Son, he put his artisan skills to work doing mural paintings and stained-glass projects. Through the years, the company grew to include interior church painting, full blown renovation, restoration and new construction of religious entities as well as commercial construction and renovation. Within the last couple of years, the company’s portfolio has expanded once again to encompass high-end residential construction and renovation. “We give homeowners the opportunity to bring us in from the start, and I think our 85 years and four generations of experience helps in that regard,” says Chris Zucchi, great grandson of Victor and now site manager and head of marketing and project acquisitions. Many of the employees, which includes a full office staff and seasoned work crews, have been with the company for more than 25 years, so there’s a lot of experience there as well.

When it comes to the higher-end residential market, the company can employ the same contractors who handle their complex religious work and utilize those old-world craftsmanship skills to make a home extraordinary. “We bring them onto these residential projects and just let them go to work,” says Chris. “I don’t have to find a residential tile installer and walk him through how to do a highend tile or wood finish.

“We have the people on staff already who can do this and do it on a daily basis. If you’re using someone who has been doing that high level quality work for 20 years, it shows in the work. Experience is everything,” he states.

“It is something we take great pride in,” says Chris’s father, Ed Zucchi Jr., the owner. “Quality craftsmanship is the thing that sets us apart from other contractors and something that we are always mindful of.”

Combining old-world craftsmanship with modern technology, says Chris, ensures projects go smoothly and allows transparency with the homeowners. “We utilize clouds and drop boxes to post daily or weekly updates and photos so they can keep track of the progress.”
