Our Family

History

Founded in 1976 by the late Bob Edger and his wife Mary as a small family-run business, Edger Enterprises was a small start-up construction company specializing mainly in local residential site work and concrete sidewalk projects.

Generations

The advent of Edger Enterprises was Edger Contracting, where Bob and Mary rented a 200 square foot office on Davis Street in the City of Elmira and launched their company.

Putting her years of prior business experience to work, Mary performed all the accounting, banking, tax, and payroll functions for the company. Fifteen years later, in 1994, Bob and Mary turned over Edger Contracting to their children, Jodi and Jessica Edger.

Today

Edger Enterprises employs over one hundred employees and has grown into one of the premier contractors in the Southern Tier of New York that offers reliable construction services meeting the highest standards of quality. Led by a strong and capable management team, the company is committed to excellence and top-notch customer service through safety, innovation, and shared values.

IT ALL STARTS WITH

LEADERSHIP

PRESIDENT

Jodi Edger

Raised in a family-owned construction business, Jodi gained early, hands-on experience in the field, developing a deep understanding of the industry from the ground up. He went on to earn a degree in Civil Technology from Alfred State College in 1993, further strengthening his technical foundation.

In 1994, Jodi officially joined Edger Enterprises, contributing across various project types and disciplines. His dedication, practical expertise, and leadership ability led to his appointment as President in 2005. Under his direction, the company embraced a more innovative and collaborative approach, attracting top talent and significantly expanding its capabilities.

Jodi provides hands-on guidance to project teams and ensures that every project meets the company’s high standards. He focuses on building and maintaining strong client relationships, which are key drivers behind the company’s continued growth, excellent reputation, and impressive rate of repeat business.

VICE PRESIDENT, CEO

Jessica Edger-Hillman

With a lifelong connection to the family business and a strong foundation in finance and operations, Jessica formally joined Edger Enterprises in 1994 after earning her associate degree from Alfred State College. Her entrepreneurial mindset and commitment to excellence quickly propelled her into key leadership roles across the company.

By 2005, she was appointed CEO, bringing a strategic focus that has guided the company through steady growth and operational expansion. In 2015, she led the successful effort to achieve WBE certification, reinforcing the company’s commitment to diversity and inclusion in the construction industry.

Today, she remains deeply involved in day-to-day operations—overseeing financial strategy, supporting project teams, and playing a hands-on role in the company’s safety program. Her leadership continues to drive innovation, accountability, and long-term success across all divisions of Edger Enterprises.
