Schaerer Contracting Company Inc. is a premier development and general contracting firm based in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Founded in 1927 by Warner 'Pap' Schaerer as a family-owned plastering business, the company has grown significantly over the decades, transitioning into a full-scale general contracting service that has established a strong reputation across the southeastern United States and beyond.
Significant growth took place in 1968 when the company was officially incorporated. E. T. 'Bud' Schaerer II, a leader with military experience, took the reins and expanded the company's capabilities, focusing on delivering high-quality workmanship and building lasting relationships with clients. His leadership was pivotal in securing many large-scale projects that showcased the company's growing capabilities.
Continuing the legacy, the fourth generation of the Schaerer family, Burt Tucker Schaerer, joined the company after graduating from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 1985. Burt's expertise in management and business strategy has allowed Schaerer Contracting to flourish further, remaining true to its roots in relationship building and maintaining a standard of excellence in construction quality.
Today, Schaerer Contracting is celebrated as the contractor of choice for several recognizable clients across 15 different states, serving a diverse range of sectors including industrial, athletic, educational, government, healthcare, and retail. The firm not only emphasizes quality construction but also values the relationships forged throughout its long history, contributing to its status as a trusted partner in the contracting industry.
