Schilthuis Construction Inc

There is value in doing your best every day." HENRY SCHILTHUIS Family Values FOUR GENERATIONS STRONG Ask us any of us what our company is built on and we’ll say family. And we don’t just mean blood ties—because the loyalty, compassion, high expectations and pride are felt by everyone, whether they’re related to us or not. And like family, they tend to stick around. Harm Schilthuis Started the company days after arriving from Holland in 1952 with $500 and six kids. Gruff with a heart of gold. The dirtier, the muddier, the more challenging the project the better. He was the one sweeping up the church he’d built the night before the first mass. You didn’t want to be wearing rings when you shook his hand. Henk Schilthuis Famous for pouring concrete in penny loafers and a dress shirt and drinking a 2-4 of Pepsi a day. Calls a computer “The Box.” Always drops by the job site as lunch is ending. Makes everyone feel like part of the team. A joker who liked to say, “If you’re not bleeding, you’re not working.” Took over as president in 1988. Henry Schilthuis Believes relationships are the strongest foundation for the business. Known for standing back and observing. His kids describe him as patient, gentle and calm. Treats everyone as equals. Loves to work with his hands. Has a gift for matching people to projects. Became company prez in 2003. The Boys Henry’s sons and the next gen. Grew up digging pits by hand, wheeling concrete, sweeping up the job site. Today, Tim has his business degree and can make anyone feel comfortable with a single conversation. Phil likes to put his head down and work hard—but never forgets to show compassion. Aaron is always looking for a new challenge. All of them feel proud to see the family name on a project.
