About Wenger Construction

Wenger Construction is a family-owned company built on Swiss roots and American grit. Our story began in 1950, when Jake and Martha Wenger immigrated from Switzerland to Wisconsin. In 1997, John and Laurie Wenger started Wenger Construction with one truck, one crew, and a commitment to doing things the right way. Today we’re a full-service commercial roofing, siding, and architectural sheet metal company serving Wisconsin and beyond.
