DeJager Construction Inc. has established itself as a leader in the retail construction industry since its founding in 1970 by Richard De Jager and Bob Menkveld. With a rich history rooted in 'Old World' work ethics and standards, the company has built a reputation for excellence, reliability, and timeliness over its 53 years of operation. Initially focusing on local projects in the Grand Rapids area, DeJager Construction quickly expanded its reach, completing numerous retail assignments for both national and local merchants alike.
The experience garnered over the years has allowed DeJager Construction to develop a robust team comprising on-site superintendents and project managers with vast industry knowledge, as well as office staff with advanced technical skills. This expert team has successfully met diverse client needs, managing everything from apparel and home décor projects to entertainment and restaurant builds across the United States.
With a portfolio boasting over 10,000 completed stores, including early clients like Kinney Shoes and Lerner Stores—who remain with DeJager to this day—the company has proven its ability to deliver quality workmanship on time and within budget. The commitment to providing 'no surprises' in project execution has made DeJager Construction a trusted partner for many retailers.
As the company enters its sixth decade of service, it continues to uphold its foundational principles of quality, competitive pricing, and timely project completion, remaining dedicated to the retail construction sector.
