Rodger Clancy Hendrick began his company in 1876.  With the zeal and enthusiasm of a 21-year-old Irish immigrant, R.C. established himself as a mason contractor in Saginaw, Michigan.  The business thrived from the beginning, for R.C. was both conscientious and talented.  He was also restless and heeded the call West.  Buildings in southwestern United States still stand today as evidence of his work in that area.  After a five-year period he returned to Saginaw to establish the company that has endured over a hundred years.

A second generation was added in 1905 when the eldest son, Edward, joined the company.  He remained part of the operation until 1915, leaving to start a business of his own, with his son, in Detroit.  In that year, Joseph, the youngest son of R.C., became part of the company, allowing the “& Son” to remain on the letterhead.  The father and son worked together until R.C.’s death in 1937.  The business grew and expanded into a general construction company under Joe’s management and direction.

Today, the descendants of R.C., now numbering five generations, continue to operate the business with the dedication to quality, skill in performance, responsibility to the customer and integrity in all business matters, which were the trademarks of the founder.  Structures throughout the State of Michigan testify to the success of this philosophy.  R. C. Hendrick & Son continues to offer the same spirit and pride in workmanship established by R.C.
