McCullough Excavating & Snowplowing, Inc. is a prominent construction company located in the vibrant community of Talkeetna, Alaska. Founded in 2010 by Sam McCullough, the business draws upon a rich family history in the excavation industry, which began with Sam's grandfather, George McCullough, who established his own excavation company in the Anchorage area in 1940. George was instrumental in creating notable sites like Campbell Lake and Alaska Raceway Park.
Having grown up in a family that operated a gold mine near Petersville, Sam brings extensive knowledge and experience in the construction field. He honed his skills at Associated Training Services, a heavy equipment school in Wisconsin, where he specialized in operation, safety, and equipment maintenance. After gaining diverse construction experience across the United States, Sam returned to Alaska, where he started his journey as an entrepreneur by initially working on the slope before establishing McCullough Excavating.
The company began with a modest operation and expanded to include snowplowing services in 2012, driven by an increase in demand. By 2016, McCullough Excavating diversified its offerings further by acquiring a sand and gravel operation, thus extending its services in aggregate supply. The business has grown to employ five full-time staff, affirming its reputation for quality work and customer satisfaction in the region. McCullough Excavating has earned commendations from clients for its professionalism, punctuality, and ability to exceed project expectations.
With a commitment to high-quality service and dedication to meeting diverse customer needs, McCullough Excavating stands as a testament to family legacy and entrepreneurial spirit in Alaska's construction industry. The team, led by Sam and supported by his family, expresses heartfelt gratitude to the community that has played a pivotal role in their success.
