John Russ and Company logo

John Russ and Company

Lockport, IL 60441

John Russ and Company, Inc, was founded in the fall of 1979 by John and Geri Russ. Through the perseverance of this accomplished and determined couple, back breaking hard work, smart decisions, sacrifice and a little bit of luck, the Company overcame an extremely high barrier of entry to an industry that at times can be unforgiving to tackle some of the most challenging jobs at the time – the work no one else wanted. From a Sanitary Trunk Sewer job in Lemont, IL with Rock that was so hard, production was slowed to 1,13 foot piece of pipe per week, to major InterCity Infrastructure reconstructions, design build, Rail-yards, Racetracks, and Amazon Warehouses so large that you measure their distance not in feet, but in tenths of miles. We’ve done it all.

Why Downtobid is the Go-To Platform for Contractors

"We have used Downtobid for our ITBs and so far our experience has been very positive. It has saved me time on the initial page turn and I really like the number of responses we're starting to see from our subcontractors!"

Robyn LynnMRI Builders

"The first time our company was able to travel outside Atlanta! Bidding in a new market and wasn't getting any hits on Drywall. Requested a boost and with 5 days I had 2 committed bidders and 1 submission. Using them on my next project."

Zalmy KavkaFounder, ZK Builders

"I love, the personalization of it. You get it more directed towards the contractors that we need. You make it a little more personal than putting it on Blue Book or Planhub or anything like that. You let us communicate with the subcontractors, so we can narrow it down from what you've already narrowed it down from. We get more detailed, correct quotes that we're looking for from you guys as opposed to maybe other places."
