Joseph Rossini

Founder

Joseph Rossini founded Rossini Equipment Corp. in 1998, bringing a lifetime of hands-on excavation and heavy equipment experience to every project. His family's roots in the New York construction industry stretch back to 1963, when the Rossini name first became synonymous with reliable, professional site work across the metro area. From the company's base in Monticello, Joseph has built a business that reflects real jobsite knowledge—not just equipment rental, but the kind of field-tested expertise that only comes from decades of solving complex excavation challenges. Whether it's a residential tank removal in Liberty or a commercial site preparation project in Middletown, Joseph and his team deliver the same standard: well-maintained machines, skilled operators, and the responsive service that contractors and property owners have trusted for over 25 years.
