About Scafar
A New Jersey family doing NJ public work for 49 years.
Customer success has been the cornerstone of Scafar Contracting since 1977. We realized early on that helping our clients succeed was the way we'd grow, too. Forty-nine years in, that commitment still drives a portfolio of municipal, utility, and state-and-federal partner work across New Jersey.
Professional engineering services were added in 2000 — concept, design, and build all happen under one roof. Family-owned, statewide, unflashy on purpose.
