Company History
- 1962
Toepfer Construction Co., Inc. Founded
Toepfer Construction Co., Inc. was founded in 1962 by Carl M. Toepfer, Jr., with the support of his wife May M. Toepfer. Our company began as a general contracting firm, building apartment communities and military housing.
- 1968
Disaster Restoration
In 1968, a moratorium was placed on new connections to the natural gas line, restricting new construction in the Washington DC area. This forced Carl Toepfer to seek alternate means of doing business. He was asked to complete a fire restoration project for an existing client, and thus the restoration business was born.
- 1972
Moved to Ashwood Drive
As the company developed and business grew, we required additional office and warehouse space. Partnering with two other non-competing companies, Carl Toepfer joined Ashwood Associates and built the large complex at 8540 Ashwood Drive in Capitol Heights, Maryland, which remained our office for 10 years.
- 1982
Moved to Ritchie Road
We built our present office and warehouse in 1981 for another company. Immediately after it was completed, we were offered to purchase the property. Our current building consists of 10,000 square feet of space and it sits on one acre of property in Capitol Heights, Maryland.
