Company Description:
Established in 1965, Sheldon Construction is a family owned and operated construction company started by George A. Sheldon under the name of George Sheldon Excavating. The company originally provided commercial demolition, steel erection, and excavating services to businesses in Michigan's Thumb area. In the mid 1970's, Sheldon Excavating added environmental remediation to the company's services when Sheldon contracted to manage various landfills in St. Clair and Sanilac County, and the geographic scope of the company expended to include all of Southeastern Michigan. Sheldon Excavating, and George Sheldon in particular, quickly gained a distinguished reputation for quality work, honesty, integrity and value in the industry. In 1993, Lee M. Sheldon joined her husband to manage the business and used her extensive administrative experience to diversify the company and intensify its growth. In 1995, the name of the company was changed to Sheldon Construction to reflect the company's expanded service position as a General Contractor. Engineering staff was added in 1996 to support the more complex site work jobs being completed. Beginning in 1996, Sheldon Construction began to recognize and consciously promote our unique ability to increase the value of a job by building strong relationships with clients and working directly with them to cut costs without compromising workmanship. In 1998, Sheldon Construction entered the building construction market. Sheldon expanded into interior building renovation and added a complement of experienced carpenter foremen to its work force in 1998. Sheldon moved its corporate headquarters in 1999 to the newly renovated office and yard on Keewahdin Road, in Fort Gratiot, Michigan, where it is located today. Architectural staff was added in 2000 to support Sheldon's move into building construction. Incorporated in 1999, Sheldon Construction, Inc. continued to expand services beyond Southeastern Michigan in order to meet the needs of clients and to strengthen its market position. In 2001, marine construction was added to Sheldon's portfolio of construction services to fully round out their excavating and environmental specialties.
