What It's Like to Work Here
For more than a century, our family has kept homes and businesses in central and northcentral Wisconsin comfortable. The shop still runs on the rules our grandfather set in 1913 for how to treat people and how to do business. Those rules passed from Mike to Kurt and Lori, and they're a big part of why some families have been with us for fifty years.
We're a smaller, close-knit crew of people persons and team players who take pride in the work and have fun together, from baseball games to the holiday party. Our team members will tell you the ownership makes this a great place to work.
