Building an Empire
“WE PUT THE PAST 60+ YEARS OF EXPERIENCE TO WORK FOR EVERY CUSTOMER.”
A Family Business Since 1955
Empire Wrecking Co., operating as Empire Services, has built a reputation over the past 60 years as one of Eastern Pennsylvania's most esteemed excavation and demolition experts. Known for delivering top-quality workmanship and prompt results, Empire Services stands out for its strong management and expert planning. As a leading regional specialty contractor, the company offers comprehensive demolition, civil works, and excavation services with turnkey solutions. Over time, Empire Wrecking has expanded through several affiliates, forming the Empire Group.
From the beginning in 1955, the precedent was set by founder Harry (Whitey) O’Neill Jr. that Empire Wrecking Co. would be built on hard work and a firm commitment to customer satisfaction. Under the direction of his sons, Harry and Todd O’Neill, Empire has remained focused on upholding this standard. Based in Reading, PA, Empire Group is centrally located to service Eastern Pennsylvania.
