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.
