WCC - Premier Ohio Commercial Contractor: From Local Roots to Industry Leader
Success in commercial construction doesn’t happen overnight. At Weaver Commercial Contractor, our status as a leading Ohio commercial contractor is the result of decades of dedication, integrity, and a relentless commitment to client satisfaction. With a rich history in the Dalton, Ohio area, excellence in design-build construction, and expansive reach across many industries, we’ve been able to create a foundation we can be proud of.
The Genesis: Building a Foundation of Trust (1950s - 1999)
Weaver Commercial Contractor actually got its start in residential construction, when Ben Weaver began building homes in north-central Ohio while also running his own dairy farm. As demand for his services grew, Ben decided to sell the dairy farm in 1970 so he could fully pursue his passion for home construction. He incorporated Weaver Custom Homes (WCH) in 1979.
Ben’s early work laid the foundation for what WCC would eventually become, thanks to his focus on bringing integrity and craftsmanship to every project.
Strategic Growth: Forging a Commercial Identity (1999 - 2009)
Over time, increasing demand for commercial, retail, church, and industrial projects led WCH to form a commercial division. WCH General Contractors (WCHGC) was established in 1999 as a DBA of Weaver Custom Homes, Inc. under the leadership of Ron Wegner, Ben’s son-in-law, who had joined the company in 1983 and became the vice president of the new commercial division.
As WCHGC continued to grow as a commercial contractor, it was eventually reformed into Weaver Commercial Contractor, Inc. (WCC), a standalone S-corporation with Ron Wenger as President.
A New Era: Employee Ownership & Enduring Leadership (2010 - Present)
After another extended period of growth as WCC, both WCC and WCH underwent a transformative restructuring in 2020 to become employee-owned companies. This new arrangement fostered a deeper commitment and sense of shared success among the WCC and WCH teams, encouraging everyone to give their best efforts to every project.
In January 2023, Ron Wenger transitioned from president to senior advisor, while vice president Mike Eberly ascended to the role of president, ensuring valuable continuity for the business. With this seamless leadership transition and employee-owner structure, WCC is positioned for sustained growth and innovation in commercial construction.
