Jerry Resendez Enterprises started over 30 years ago in Laredo, Texas with a simple idea: show up, do the work right, and earn the next job. What began as a small local earthwork crew has grown into one of South Texas’ most trusted heavy civil contractors.
Today, we take on projects that span thousands of acres — solar farms, wind energy infrastructure, roadways, and large-scale site development for government and commercial clients. The equipment has gotten bigger. The projects have gotten more complex. But the approach hasn’t changed. We still show up, and we still do the work right.
Over three decades, Jerry Resendez has completed earthwork and site construction for 32 schools — from elementary campuses to colleges and universities. When it comes to building for education in Laredo, few contractors come close to that track record.
School sites are some of the most demanding earthwork projects there are. Campuses are rarely
built on flat, uniform ground. They’re designed across split levels and varying elevations —different building heights, terraced athletic fields, accessible walkways, drainage that has to work perfectly across the whole site. One miscalculation in the grading throws off everything built on top of it.
That complexity is exactly why districts can’t hand these projects to just anyone. It takes a contractor who understands how the whole site fits together — and who has done it enough times to get it right the first time.
That experience doesn’t stop at schools. If there’s been a major government or commercial project in Laredo, chances are Jerry has been on it. Thirty years in one region builds a kind of knowledge you can’t fake — the soil, the codes, the inspectors, the way the work actually gets done here.
Schools Completed
Every Level Built
On a job site, safety and quality are the same thing. The crews that work safe are the crews that work right. That’s why we hold ourselves to the highest standards on every project — whether it’s a school campus full of people or a remote solar field.
We meet and maintain federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration standards on every job site.
We follow Texas Commission on Environmental Quality requirements to protect the land, water, and air around every project.
A documented, enforced safety program that protects our crews and your site from the first day to the last.
Building schools is one way we invest in this community. It’s not the only one. Laredo is home — it’s where our family built this company, and where our people live and raise their own families. We show up for it the same way we show up on a job site.
Over the years, that’s meant supporting the organizations and causes that make Laredo stronger:
Community drives and giving campaigns
Scholarships for local students
Support for the Boys & Girls Club and youth programs
Sponsorships and local partnerships across the region
When the work you do builds the schools, roads, and spaces a community depends on, giving back isn’t separate from the job. It’s part of it.
