Admar Construction Equipment and Supplies Continuing to Build a Legacy in Erie
While Admar Construction Equipment and Supplies has been in business since 1972 when John and Dick DiMarco first opened the doors , there are people who still wonder what Admar does on a day to day basis , said Branch Manager Sean Whelan .
“ You wouldn ’ t know it by the name , but we are the largest independently owned construction equipment and rental business in Pennsylvania and New York state ,” he said .“ But , despite being the largest , we rent to anyone from weekend DIY-ers to general contractors .”
Currently under the leadership of Acting President Joel
DiMarco , you ’ d be hard pressed to find a tool or machine that Admar Construction Equipment and Supplies doesn ’ t supply or rent . If you do , Whelan said he and his staff are more than happy to help you source that item elsewhere and give you pointers on how to use it properly . “ The advantage with Admar is the support you get behind the scenes ,”
Whelan said .“ Our value is equipment you need when you need it . We consult with our customers and help guide them so that whatever project they ’ re working on , it turns out great . We try to be a one-stop shop for a lot of customers because projects can ’ t wait .”
Some of the most common things Admar Construction Equipment and Supplies provides to its residential customers include Bobcat-style loaders , generators , saws , drills and smaller power tools . It offers full support with every tool rented , unlike big-box counterparts , and that dedication to customers has not only allowed it to grow to eight
branches in the Mid-Atlantic and New England states , but locally has made Admar a valued partner for many of Erie ’ s venues and events .
“ We ’ re partners with the Bayhawks and we supply equipment for nearly all of Erie ’ s major events throughout the year ,” Whelan said , “ from the Roar on the Shore to Celebrate Erie to the Tall Ships Festival , where we provided generators for the boats . During Erie Days , we donate equipment for the Erie Kids Construction Zone .”
So if you need a pump because your basement flooded , or you need a generator for that outdoor party you ’ re planning , Admar Construction Equipment and Supplies can help . It ’ s also a dealership for the items it rents , so if you ’ re going to need to move a lot of dirt or have an ongoing issue that requires a specialized mechanical solution , Admar Construction Equipment and Supplies can sell you what you need and supply all the parts required to keep it running like the day you brought it home . The company accepts cash , credit cards and , if you are a frequent renter , you can open up your own in-house account to minimize your downtime .
