I CALL HOMEWOOD HOME<br />
THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO THE STORIES OF HOMEWOOD RESIDENTS AND BUSINESSES<br />
Serving the community since 1994, Cuccaro Plumbing has handled all types of plumbing needs<br />
from a hose bib washer to installation of entire systems in commercial buildings. Located on <strong>Kelly</strong><br />
Street they are currently involved with doing sewer and drainage work and plumbing installation<br />
of half the homes for the <strong>Kelly</strong> <strong>Hamilton</strong> redevelopment. Kali, who is co-owner of Cuccaro along<br />
with her father Kenneth, handles a great portion of the administrative function of the business.<br />
Cuccaro originally started as a small home business, according to Kali as she remembers as a<br />
child. However, as business grew the company relocated to Point Breeze and then to Homewood,<br />
where their business is currently located. Kali’s father, President & CEO Kenneth Cuccaro, grew<br />
up in Wilkinsburg, PA. Kali and her father Kenneth, a first generation master plumber never<br />
thought about leaving the Homewood area. Kali commented, “Customers have been good to us.” In<br />
fact a resident was the first to tell them about plans for the redevelopment of Homewood and<br />
suggested that Cuccaro put in a bid for the <strong>Kelly</strong> <strong>Hamilton</strong> project. Needless to say they<br />
were awarded the contract by Alliance Construction Group.<br />
Cuccaro roughly has 9 -11 employees on the job site, two of which are Section 3 employees. Section<br />
3 is a program administered by HUD that requires 30% of all new hires to be from the local<br />
community. Additionally, Cuccaro Plumbing has a four year apprenticeship program in place<br />
which offers free tuition as long as the employee retains a certain grade requirement.<br />
Keith B. Key, President of Alliance Construction Group is proud to have Cuccaro plumbing as a<br />
partner in the redevelopment of Homewood. He is even more impressed with the company’s<br />
commitment to hire residents from the community!<br />
