A little about us
and how we came to be.

In 1998, Mike Lombardi recognized an opportunity and assembled a small team of 6 to service the hospitality industry on various projects.

In 1999, just one year later, Mike received his general contracting license and rebranded the business as Lombardi Contracting Corporation. That same year, he and his team completed their first major hotel project for the prestigious Hilton in Torrey Pines.

Ever since, Lombardi Contracting has continued to expand their footprint outside of California to other parts of the western United States. They’ve also continued to expand by adding more high-end clients to their roster.

Here is your Lombardi team.

It’s vitally important that we carefully curate the right team to collaborate with each of our clients, ensuring their vision aligns perfectly with our expertise. Dedicated to our craft, we’ve built great partnerships with the best and most reliable subcontractors and vendors. It’s these strong relationships that form the foundation of our dynamic team. Even more importantly, we’re committed to establishing and fostering lasting relationships with all of our clients.

We’re proud to introduce you to the team that makes it happen.
