Charles W. Seedorff founded Seedorff Masonry in 1957. He began with a small crew of four people that eventually developed into a company employing a current average of 375 people. Charles served as President of the company from 1957 through 1994, at which point he assumed his current role as CEO and Chairman of the Board. His primary focus in day-to-day operations includes working in concert with our regional field superintendents in the development and placement of manpower.

His ability to recognize, develop and surround himself with talented individuals has been unprecedented. Combined with an honest approach and strong work ethic, it has created a recipe for success. Consistent growth of the firm, although not a formal strategic initiative, has occurred due to the accumulation of talent within the ranks at SMI.

The impact he has made on the masonry industry has extended well beyond the scope of SMI. He has been involved in a variety of industry associations which have included the Master Builders of Iowa as an Associate Council Chairman, member of their Board of Directors and various other committees; Iowa State Chairman of the Mason Contractors Association of America as well as a committee member; the Bricklayers’ Apprenticeship Training Program; and he was instrumental in the establishment of the Masonry Institute of Iowa.

In 1994, the Master Builders of Iowa exemplified the respect he has earned in the construction industry with the presentation of The Build Iowa Award. The recipient of this award is selected from a group of peers, and recognized as the individual who best demonstrates the tenets of skill, integrity and responsibility within the industry. Charles W. Seedorff was the fifth recipient of this prestigious award, and the first ever subcontractor to be honored. Also in 1994, he was the presented with the Melvin Jones Citizenship Award presented by the Lions Club for his numerous contributions to the community.

The belief that created Seedorff Masonry, Inc. in 1957 remains the recipe for success today; the consistent delivery of an honest, quality job.
