About

L.D. Russo, Inc. was founded in 1977 by Lou Russo. Lou’s family were Italian immigrants to Boston and he grew up in Waltham. The company first started as a painting business, and Lou grew the business to include general contracting, sitework, and property development.

Continuing the family legacy, Lou’s daughter Elena Russo and her husband, Nat Coughlin, have stepped into the leadership role. Elena and Nat met at Middlebury College, studying Molecular Biology/Biochemistry and Political science, respectively. Though construction (or marriage for that matter) weren’t the first things on their minds back in college, Elena and Nat are inspired by their team, their clients, and the substantial impact they can have through the construction business.

Since Elena rose to CEO, the company has become a woman owned business and embarked on a new path of growth and expansion to better serve our clients and community.
