Our Story
From One Truck to a Full Crew
Ricardo Martinez started this company with a single dump truck — and drove it himself. Two decades later, Martínez Frogs Inc. is a licensed, certified heavy civil contractor operating across the greater Chicago area with a growing team of skilled tradespeople.
Based in Melrose Park, Illinois, we've built our reputation on showing up, doing the hard work, and earning trust on every job site. We take on projects that require real capability: demolishing industrial factories, clearing highway corridors, and excavating complex urban sites.
We are proud to hold Disadvantaged, Minority, and Women-owned Business Enterprise (D/M/WBE) certifications, and we participate in the Illinois Tollway's Technical Assistance Program — giving us direct pathways to public infrastructure work across the region.
