Alares Name

We are often asked, “Why the name Alares?” or “What does Alares mean?”.  The name Alares has significant meaning for our
organization.  Alares were a kind of militia among the Romans; so called from ala, a wing, because of their lightness and swiftness
in combat.  The name Alares was selected because our philosophy is to achieve our clients objectives in a swift manner without
sacrificing quality for speed.  We execute every project with precision and client satisfaction.

The military root of the name Alares also complements the background of the owner and founder, Don Maggioli.  Don is a graduate
of West Point and a former Green Beret.  He instills that same military “can-do” attitude with our staff and subcontractors to
successfully accomplish our client’s objectives.
