Founded in 1919 as the Johnson-Carlson Company, the company established a reputation for quality and honesty. Initially building homes and smaller commercial buildings, the Company grew through the efforts of Adolph Johnson, his family, and the many dedicated employees of the company. Churches, offices, retail, health care, educational and industrial facilities were added to ADOLPH JOHNSON & SON CO.'s accomplishments and expertise, establishing the company as a premier builder in Northeast Ohio. ADOLPH JOHNSON & SON CO. continues to improve, grow and expand into new ways to serve their clientele, always staying true to the timeless principles of quality and integrity.

Our process and relationship building facilitate the teamwork required for a successful project.

 INTEGRITY 
We treat others as we want to be treated. Sometimes this means making some difficult choices but we believe in doing what is best for the long term.

 QUALITY
Adolph Johnson and his fellow Swedish carpenters knew only one way of doing things – The Right Way! This founding principle continues to guide our operations.

 SERVICE
Treat every project as if it is our only project. Find out what is important to our customer and deliver it.

 EXPERIENCE
The passing on of the skills and lessons learned in both the office and the field is an important benefit of a company that has been building for over 100 years.

 At ADOLPH JOHNSON & SON CO. safety is more than complying with rules and standards – it is about our fellow workers, people we care about, not getting injured.

Our jobsite managers have the OSHA 30 safety hour training. Most of our field personnel have had the 10 hour OSHA safety training course. In addition, our people are trained in special safety related issues

Such as:

• Infectious Disease Control

• Lead Paint Hazards

• Confined Space

• Power Equipment Operation

• Fall Protection

• Lock out – tag out

• Personal Protective Equipment

• Safety Data Sheets

• First Aid

Our jobsite managers make daily safety inspections of the site along with constant monitoring of our crews and subcontractors to ensure safe practices.

Job Box talks are conducted weekly covering a wide variety of safety topics.

Along with in house inspection our sites also receive reviews by our safety consultant to report on any tasks that can or should be performed in a safer manner. If there is a question regarding safety the jobsite managers know how to get an answer right away by calling the “expert”.

Our focus on safety has produced the desired results of not only an Experience Modification Rate of 0.47 (for 2015) but most importantly our people are not getting hurt.
