Robert R. Stenstrom founded the Stenstrom Companies in 1953, building our company from the ground up with the help of hard-working employees.

His values of leadership, dedication and pride in the company were passed along to his son, Robert W. Stenstrom, who took over the company in 1978. Today, the third generation of Stenstroms, Robert J. Stenstrom and Christie Stenstrom Jarrett, guide the company with the same principles of resourcefulness, reliability, and respect.

For more than 70 years, this commitment to quality has earned Stenstrom Companies more customer satisfaction than most businesses ever hope to achieve. This brand of satisfaction has built so much confidence that nearly half of new business is negotiated rather than assigned by competitive bidding.

Over the years, the Stenstrom Companies have grown to include Construction, Design-Build, Construction Management, Petroleum Services, Concrete, Blacktop, and Excavation/Sitework.

As the company has grown, the focus has shifted to spreading the values of Robert R. Stenstrom beyond Stenstrom Companies by giving back to the community with donations to Rockford Promise, Rock Valley College and the Boys and Girls Club, among others.

Stenstrom is a Woman-Owned Business (WBE certified).
