J.C. Anderson, Inc., established in 1879, has a rich history rooted in the reconstruction efforts following Chicago's Great Fire. Initially specializing as a plastering contractor, the company has evolved into the largest interiors-only general contractor in the Chicago area. Over its 145-year history, J.C. Anderson has transformed alongside the industry, adapting to trends such as the rise of drywall and expanding its service offerings to include comprehensive interior contracting.
The firm's success is fueled by its commitment to quality and communication, ensuring that every project reflects the company's philosophy: 'it's what's inside that matters.' This approach emphasizes not only the aesthetics and functionality of the spaces they create but also the integrity and character of the team behind the work. The leadership team has changed hands over the years, from founder John Christopher Anderson to the Schumacher family and more recently Tom Bean, Kevin Radoha, Mike Yazbec, and others, but the core values of dedication and craftsmanship have remained steadfast.
Today, under the leadership of CEO Joe Maguire and President John Angelovich, J.C. Anderson is focused on innovation and proactive project management. Their team is dedicated to delivering top-quality performance and outstanding customer service, thus ensuring ongoing growth and diversification.
