Leadership Guided by Principle
years of experience
Founded in 1993, Montana Construction is a family-owned and operated business by three siblings – Lisa S. Ballerini / President, Vincent Santaite/ Vice President and Dominic Santaite Jr. / Chief Operating Officer.
Each company leader was taught the fundamentals for developing and operating a successful construction company from their father and longtime construction executive, Dominic Santaite Sr., who instilled the pillars that drive Montana’s steady growth today: Integrity, hard work and respect.
