100 years. One story built by generations.

Throughout our centennial year, we’ve looked back at the people, projects, communities, and moments that have shaped McGuire and Hester. Over the past several weeks, we’ve shared glimpses of that story through Legacy, People, Community, Innovation, and Future.

Now, we’re proud to share the full story.

Our 100-Year Anniversary Video reflects on where we began, the people who carried McGuire and Hester forward, and the values that continue to guide us as we look toward the next 100 years.

To every employee, client, partner, family member, and community that has been part of our journey, thank you for helping build this story with us.

100 years of McGuire and Hester. And we’re just getting started.

A century of experience has brought us here. The future is what we build next.

As McGuire and Hester looks beyond its first 100 years, the focus remains on the people who will carry the company forward, the lessons passed from one generation to the next, and the commitment to keep evolving along the way.

Future.
A century changes hands.

For 100 years, McGuire and Hester has continued to evolve with the way we build.

From the tools we use to the way we plan, communicate, and execute our work, technology has changed dramatically over time. What hasn’t changed is our commitment to finding better ways to build safely, efficiently, and with quality.

Innovation.

Our Sacramento team recently traded the jobsite and office for a day at Camanche Hills for a clay shoot outing.

It was a great opportunity to spend time together outside of work, enjoy some friendly competition, and strengthen the connections that make our team what it is.

Thank you to everyone who joined us and helped make it a great day!

For 100 years, giving back has been an important part of McGuire and Hester’s story.

From our earliest days, community involvement has reflected the values that guide who we are and how we show up beyond the jobsite.

Our work is about more than the projects we build. It’s about supporting the people and communities around us and carrying those values forward.

Community.
Building beyond construction.

Celebrating employee ownership at McGuire and Hester!

Recently, our Sacramento and Bay Area teams each held ESOP celebrations to recognize two important milestones. We welcomed our newest employee owners into the ESOP and celebrated employees who reached 100 percent vesting.

These milestones reflect the commitment our people make to McGuire and Hester and the shared success that comes with employee ownership.

Congratulations to our newest employee owners and to everyone who reached full vesting! We’re proud to celebrate these milestones together and continue building our future as an employee owned company.
