About Us
Always Driven By Our Mission To Serve.
Our Mission and Who We Are
Bonfe Exteriors comes from a long history of successful family-owned businesses. It started in 1951 when Sam Bonfe, an Italian immigrant began his automotive repair shop with a focus on quality service to his customers. He started with a ten stall mechanical shop and one employee. The shop is now run by the third generation, and is recognized as one of top automotive shops nationwide.
Inspired by his father, Joe Senior Bonfe started a business of his own in 1998 building custom residential homes. In 2017, Joe Bonfe II, joined his father after a successful career in playing minor league baseball for the New York Mets. Together they revamped Bonfe Builders, and just a few years later, started another business, Bonfe Exteriors in 2020.
Recently in 2022, Joe Bonfe II made the transition to partner with his wife, Kristina Bonfe to carry out their vision of a Kingdom Business. They married in 2018, and have been blessed with a daughter, Madisynn (2021), followed by their son, Joseph III (2023). Both are excited to raise their children in the business and hope they will be inspired to carry on the strong line of family owned businesses.
