S&R Corporation: About Us: History

Brothers, Steven and Roger Ploof founded S&R Corporation in 1987. The company started as a small demolition business wrecking mostly single and multi-family dwellings as well as small commercial buildings. During S&R's early years, Steven and Roger worked full time in the field, operating equipment, driving trucks and laboring in addition to working part time in the office to establish the business.

By the mid 1990's, S&R had grown significantly and had served as prime contractor on many public projects. That growth brought changes in the roles of the company's two principals. Steven's full time focus turned to managing projects and business development. Roger worked full time on managing the company's resources and executing the projects.

In 1998, the desire to continue steady growth and to diversify, manifested itself in the founding of S&R's construction division. The new division's growth mirrored that of the company's demolition division and what started with small civil projects quickly expanded to include multi-million dollar transportation contracts with S&R as the prime contractor.

Today, S&R Corporation is a successful general contactor specializing in demolition, construction and environmental services for clients in both the public and private sectors. The majority of the company's work is acquired through competitive bids, negotiated contracts and emergency work. Resources and expertise within S&R have grown significantly since 1987, as has our strong relationships outside the company with specialty subcontractors, engineers and material suppliers. Collectively, these resources extend and reinforce the capabilities of S&R to meet the needs of nearly any project from concept through completion.
