Founded in 1949 by Richard Rogers as Rogers Construction, the company served primarily as a building contractor until 1968. With the advent of underground cable placement in the late 1960s, Rogers Construction gained a new focus as the company began providing this service for local utility companies.

In 1976, Rick Rogers came to work for his father at Rogers Construction and was instrumental in the growth of the firm. Rogers Construction changed its name and incorporated as Sun Communications, Inc. in 1980. That same year, Sun Communications began underground cable placement for cable television companies, laying the majority of the original system for Indianapolis Cablevision. Since that time, Sun Communications has continued to lead the way in underground utility placement with the latest technological advances and a depth of experience seldom found in the industry today.
