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

Born into the industry, Jodi grew up in the family construction business, working from the bottom-up. He joined the family firm in 1994 and succeeded his father as president of the company in January 2005. This change in leadership of the corporation was the start of a new era of an innovative management style that revived the company and attracted plenty of exceptionally qualified construction professionals.

With a lifetime of experience in the construction industry in a variety of project types and delivery methods, Jodi provides the necessary leadership for the site work, masonry, concrete, and general construction divisions. Working closely with his project managers, field superintendents, and the owner’s representative, Jodi ensures that each project flows smoothly from the beginning and produces a positive result through completion.

Jodi’s involvement in the company’s projects is instrumental in developing positive relationships with Edger Enterprises’ diverse customer base, which, in turn, leads to a high rate of repeat customer business.

Adding to his life-long practical education, Jodi obtained a degree from Alfred State College with a civil technology major in 1993.

VICE PRESIDENT, CEO

Jessica Edger-Hillman

Jessica Edger grew up in the family business, finding interest in the financial aspects of the company. Putting her natural entrepreneurial skills to good use, Jessica formally joined the family firm in 1994, thereafter taking over as the CEO of the corporation in January of 2005. In 2015, Jessica led the effort to successfully achieve WBE certification for the company.

Today, Jessica plays a leading role in every aspect of the company, including accounting and finance, estimating, and project management.

Jessica is also involved in the company safety management program, inspecting job sites regularly for planning, correction, and education purposes.

Before joining Edger Contracting in 1994, Jessica engaged in many of the family's small businesses and gained her unparalleled construction expertise alongside her father starting at a young age. She carried over these skills and experiences to Edger Contracting where her role continued to expand to include financial and operating control of all the companies under the Edger Enterprises umbrella.

Jessica holds an associate degree from Alfred State College.
