WHEN LIFE THROWS A CURVE… we quickly recover and come back stronger!

On December 13, 2022 we experienced a devastating fire in our Plain City, Oh facility - our shop is a total loss but thankfully no one was injured. We have spent these weeks grieving the loss, dealing with logistics but mostly feeling overwhelmed with gratitude for the love and support this community and our fellow contractors and wood crafters have shown us. Because of this generous outpouring we will only be experiencing a small delay in our current orders and we plan to be fully operational by February 1 as we restructure our operations.

Jerry Whitmer: Owner & Jack of all trades

In running Whitmer Woodworks, Jerry relies on his life experiences as a farm kid, graphic designer/printer, and coach. His farm days taught him to get the job done when the sun is shining. In the design/printing field, he learned that deadlines must be met. As a coach, he learned to adapt to the toughest conditions and ever-changing team dynamics.

For Jerry, working with clients means listening to their needs, asking questions, and then coming up with effective solutions. As a businessman, his philosophy is the golden rule: treat others as you would like to be treated. It leads to a great atmosphere in the work place, and all the other stuff falls into place.

We work as a team, for you. We bring over 26 years of industry experience and wood craftsmanship – our experience, skillset and service model are unmatched. Excellent customer service and top-quality craftsmanship are our priorities.

You can count on us to deliver. We know that meeting deadlines is key to construction schedules, and we’re known for our reliability. We won’t keep you waiting.

There are no better arches. The technique we’re known for is a proprietary method that allows us to bend wood into beautiful shapes. This not only retains the grain pattern, it also provides a stronger, more durable product than an arch constructed of multiple pieces.
