Company
C. William Hetzer, Inc. is a Hagerstown, Maryland-based contractor. Our operating radius is generally within 50 miles from Hagerstown, with much of our activity falling within the Cumberland and Shenandoah Valleys (from Winchester,VA to Chambersburg, PA). As a company focused on direct-hire construction, we self-perform the great majority of our contracting volume. We actively pursue work in the following states and counties:
Maryland: Allegany, Frederick & Washington Counties
Virginia: Frederick, Loudoun & Shenandoah Counties
West Virginia: Berkeley, Jefferson & Morgan Counties
Pennsylvania: Franklin, Fulton & Huntingdon Counties
Founded in 1950 and incorporated in 1955, we have developed an extensive record over the years in heavy civil, highway, utility, and site construction. We emphasize construction in the following areas:
- Earthmoving and Site Grading
- Rock Drilling & Blasting
- Rock Crushing & Screening
- Underground Water, Sanitary Sewer, and Storm Drain Utilities
- Shale Borrow (from our State Licensed Pit)
- Asphalt Paving & Materials
- Highway and Bridge Construction
- Airport Construction
- Landfill Construction
- Treatment Plants (including concrete, process piping, and mechanical equipment installation)
Our staff includes two civil engineers (one with PE license), and one registered full-time surveyor. But our success is founded on competent on-site supervision, hard-working, dedicated, and experienced tradesmen, and ownership of an extensive and well-maintained fleet of equipment. We work hard to maintain our reputation for performance and quality.
