HOWARD BROS INC

Howard Bros Inc specializes in heavy civil infrastructure construction with a focused expertise in highway, street, and bridge systems, alongside specialized trail and culvert projects. The contractor delivers precision earthwork, drainage integration, culvert replacement, and erosion control solutions tailored to sensitive forested and watershed environments. Their technical proficiency includes alignment design compliance, stormwater management, and low-impact construction techniques that minimize ecological disruption—particularly in USDA Forest Service-managed lands. Key differentiators include their ability to execute complex linear infrastructure projects in remote, environmentally constrained locations, ensuring regulatory adherence and long-term structural resilience under challenging terrain conditions. The company maintains a consistent and deep relationship with the U.S. Department of Agriculture, primarily serving the Forest Service within Region 9. Their work supports critical access infrastructure, including forest road networks, trail systems, and hydraulic structures that enable resource management, fire response, and public recreation. Contracts reflect a pattern of recurring, mission-critical support for maintenance and upgrades to forest transportation corridors, indicating a trusted, long-term partnership built on reliability and technical competence in federal land management contexts. Howard Bros Inc operates primarily within NAICS 237310 (Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction) and 237990 (Other Heavy and Civil Engineering Construction), positioning them as a niche provider of civil infrastructure for public land agencies. Their market focus is firmly anchored in forest and watershed infrastructure, distinguishing them from general civil contractors by their specialization in ecologically sensitive, non-urban engineering environments. As a small business structured as a 2L entity based in Arbor Vitae, Wisconsin, Howard Bros Inc leverages regional expertise to serve federal land management needs across the Upper Midwest. The company holds no federal certifications but maintains a focused operational footprint aligned with USDA Forest Service priorities, demonstrating strong local capacity for responsive, on-the-ground civil construction in remote federal jurisdictions.
