History

C.T. Brayton & Sons, Inc., is a company with strong ties to our past with the technology and service to continue our legacy of success into the future.

C.T. Brayton & Sons was established by Carl Towne Brayton and his sons, Franklin and Donald Brayton in 1946. The bulk of our company's early work was the construction of schools throughout the State of California, and major commercial and retail projects in the town of Escalon including Petri Winery, Escalon Packers, and Pioneer Memorial Hospital.

In 1969 the company incorporated and became C.T. Brayton & Sons, Inc.

  After a long battle with Multiple Sclerosis, Frank passed away in 1975. Robert Brayton, after graduating from Fresno State, and spending three years with C.S. Plumb Co. and a year with F & H Construction, joined Don in 1975.

  After recuperating from successful bypass surgery, Don was stricken with cancer and passed away in 1982. Bob carried on the Brayton tradition, the nucleaus of work consisting of schools, tilt-ups, and commercial/industrial type projects.

  In the late 1980's C.T. Brayton & Sons gathered its momentum. We had outgrown our existing office and expansion was imminent. In keeping with family tradition, Carl and Sadie's (Carl's wife) Escalon residence, originally built in the early 1900's underwent extensive renovation and the corporation subsequently made this historical building their new headquarters. 

For over sixty years, C.T. Brayton & Sons, Inc. have acknowledged the importance of the quality of employees we retain. Our superintendents are pivotal to the success of each project, and average twenty years of service with the company. Safety programs and specialized training investments help each member of the team perform at their highest level. Subcontractors are selected based on several criteria including past performance, fit with the team in place, and pricing.

Long standing relationships with our employees and our special rewards and recognition programs help to keep our company and integrity strong.
