Major specialty contracting firms in the New York-New Jersey region appear to be benefiting from the still strong metro area building construction market, with revenue for the 10 largest firms on this year’s regional list up nearly $1 billion, to $2.97 billion.

Five Star Electric Corp., E-J Electric Installation Co., WDF Inc., Enclos Corp., W&W Glass LLC, Unity International Group, O’Connell Electric Co., B&G Electrical Contractors of New York Inc. and MasTec Inc. round out the top 10 firms.
