Frank Lill and Son Founding Generation
Our pride of professional workmanship and reliability is founded on more than 85 years of proven performance. It began in 1922 when Frank Lill founded our firm as a general contractor in the Rochester, New York area.In the 30s, we specialized in fire brick masonry construction for boiler settings in industrial power plants and food processing facilities throughout New York State and became erection contractors installing and erecting boilers throughout the Northeast.
The Second Generation
During the 40s, Charles J. Lill began working in the field while attending high school and the University of Notre Dame. Package boilers were introduced, and in the 50s power plants began converting existing coal-fired boilers to oil and natural gas. During this period, we became a leader in boiler conversions and a single source for complete installations, including refractory, boiler work, piping, start-up, and testing of all equipment. We started our own piping operation in 1954 to provide complete turnkey services.The Third Generation
During the 70s, a third generation entered the field as Charles G. Lill began working with refractory and boilermaker crews while pursuing his education. Since his graduation from Cornell University, he has concentrated his efforts on further strengthening and diversifying Frank Lill and Son, Inc. Mr. Lill currently serves as the company's President and Chief Executive Officer.During the 80s, the firm significantly added to its highly skilled management and field supervisory teams. Mr. Richard Chard, who joined the firm in 1972, was appointed to his current key position as Executive Vice President. Mechanical, electrical, boiler erection and refractory staffs were greatly expanded to include an enlarged network of engineers, estimators, project managers, superintendents and craft supervisors through a constant commitment to both internal and external training and project management.
Frank Lill and Son continues to diversify into new types of specialized construction work such as pharmaceutical &and refinery construction. Simultaneously we have continued to broaden our satellite office network.
Our investments in new technology and key personnel continue to advance the firm's capabilities, reputation and national recognition.
