Employee-Owned & Future-Focused

At Swanson & Youngdale, employee ownership isn’t just part of our structure—it’s part of our story. In the early 1980s, we laid the foundation for an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP) that would secure our future and strengthen our culture. Over the decades, that decision has shaped who we are. By the early 2000s, we proudly reached 100% employee ownership, ensuring that every individual on our team had a true stake in our success.

Today, we’re honored to be in our third generation of leadership since the ESOP’s establishment, a testament to stability, continuity, and shared vision. For our clients, this means a team deeply invested in delivering results with pride, commitment, and excellence. For our employees, it means more than a paycheck—it’s ownership, accountability, and the knowledge that their hard work builds lasting value for everyone.

Employee ownership isn’t just how we’re structured—it’s the heart of why we FINISH strong and set the standard for specialty contracting.
