History

Tidewater Contractors was established in Brookings, Oregon in 1978 by founders Jess Fitzhugh, Dave Baldwin, and Steve Salisbury. In its early years, the company provided services from logging timber and blasting rock quarries to roadway construction. As the demand for roadway construction grew in the surrounding counties, Tidewater revised its business strategy. The main focus became private and public sector roadway projects, and supplying aggregate, redi-mix concrete and asphalt materials to customers in Oregon and Coastal California. Tidewater continues as the leading supplier of roadway construction materials in Curry County and Del Norte County, and we are committed to constructing safe and long lasting roadways.

Jess Fitzhugh and David Baldwin bought out Steve Salsibury in 2003, but continued the founders’ goals to deliver excellent service and competitive prices to customers, and to create a safe and friendly work environment for all employees.
