Upon his honorable discharge from the United States Army in 1946, Mr. Petraiuolo began a career in the medical field as an X-ray technician, only to discover his true passion in life, which was to be a builder. Following his carpentry apprenticeship with outstanding mentors, he decided to start his own company. In 1953, Guido Petraiuolo established Petra Construction Corporation, which over the years provided residential, light commercial, and architectural woodworking services in the greater New Haven area. Throughout his career, Mr. Petraiuolo consistently demonstrated his aptitude for aesthetics and design, along with his enthusiasm for mentoring others. He had a remarkable work ethic and a deep-seated understanding of excellent customer service, with many of his customers becoming his closest friends. Many of those same qualities were passed on to his son and current owner, Guido Petra. As a youth, Mr. Petra worked alongside his father for many years, consistently choosing the job site over the playground. Following his graduation from the University of Connecticut and increasing his level of engagement in the daily operations of the company, Mr. Petra rejoined his father and dedicated employees to strategically expand the commercial capacities of the company, leading to its current status as a reputable firm.
