Since 1974
A Petaluma name you can trust with the groundwork
Vic Chiapetta General Engineering was founded in 1974 and has spent the last half-century moving earth across Petaluma, Sonoma County, and the North Bay. What started as one man and a machine has become a trusted name for excavation, grading, and general engineering — the kind of contractor other builders call when the groundwork has to be right.
Today the business is carried forward as VC Earthmoving — same family, same standards, same straightforward way of doing business. We show up when we say we will, we do the work we quoted, and we charge the price we quoted.
