MEMBER SPOTLIGHT stats , just to name a few . This has proven to be a wise decision as the heating industry has changed drastically over the last five years and keeping up with the times has been a huge part of the company ’ s growth .
Weiss-Johnson ’ s vision was to have a full-fledged mechanical company where builders and renovators could deal with one firm for all of their mechanical needs . In order to achieve this , someone with a greater understanding of business and acquiring or starting other divisions was needed . In 2013 , Gordon Garside was hired to help Mark and Dennis further develop the business . Since then , Weiss-Johnson has expanded by adding Fireplaces by
Weiss-Johnson in 2013 and Plumbing by Weiss-Johnson in 2014 . A mechanical service company that focused on commercial buildings was purchased in 2015 and Weiss-Johnson Electrical was started in 2016 to round out the business portfolio .
In January 2017 a building at 950 78th Ave . was purchased to house the plumbing , electrical , commercial HVAC and service and maintenance divisions . This will help us become more united and focused as a team , enabling us to be a true one-stop mechanical shop .
