Company History
Our company has a long history of providing excellent service to customers in Southern Indiana and surrounding areas. Schmidt Contracting was founded in 1948 by John Spindler, Sr. and was initially located in Huntingburg, Indiana. A short time later the business was moved to Jasper, Indiana. Tom Schmidt joined Spindler’s in 1961, after serving three years in the US Army. In 1982, Tom purchased the company from John Spindler, Jr. and changed the name shortly afterward to Schmidt Contracting. Tom’s son Phil joined the company full-time in 1985 after graduating from Western Kentucky University. Phil had been involved in the business as a part-time employee since 1978.
When the company was first started, the field of work was limited to roofing, sheet metal, and heating. As the cost of air conditioning became more affordable for residential homes, it too was added to the list of services we offer. Plumbing, welding, and electrical services were also added, and today we are proud to say that we do “everything except build the building!” From shingle and rubber roofs, to in-floor heating, to full bathroom remodels, to concrete replacement, we truly are your one stop company.
