Company History
From Our Family to Yours
Our company was founded in 1970 by Jerry and Linda Messmer. Jerry started early in the plumbing and HVAC professional and, as time went on, was well-known as one of the area’s top technicians.
Still, Jerry had more than a reputation to uphold. Jerry looked forward. He had an over-arching goal to start his own business and guide it to success by adhering to a strict code of customer-first service.
Jerry knew he couldn’t do that on his own, so he hired the best and most skilled technicians and customer service pros. Together, they formed a unit where pride and high-quality performance were the norm, not the exception.
Strict adherence to Jerry’s vision helped his business grow rapidly. New employees were hired to meet the increasing service demands and, three years later (1973), he and Linda pulled up stakes and move to our current location relocated to our current location on 3rd Avenue in Jasper.
Ed Messmer joined the company full time in 1983. The family business continued to grow as it expanded its clientele to include utility and military construction. That was part of the impetus for changing the company name to Messmer Mechanical in 1987, the same year Ed was named president. By 1989, the company had grown to more than 25 employees. That same year, Mark Messmer joined the family business. Based on his extensive background in engineering, commercial construction was added as a core company services. Three years later, Roger Messmer came on board to lend his own unique talents and skills to the family business.
Ed’s son, Logan, is now part of Messmer Mechanical and what has become our three-generation family business.
In 1998, Messmer Mechanical joined an organization now called The Nexstar Network. It’s an international “best practices” association of plumbing, heating, cooling, and electrical contractors. Nexstar’s world-class training and education have helped propel us into the number one local service provider…not because we say so; because you do.
That’s the “Reader’s Digest” version of our company history. With your help, we’ll continue to add new chapters worth looking back on.
