Our founder Henry Walker worked as a glazier in his early career and in 1942 teamed with his brother Arthur at a glass company in Montreal, Canada. After World War II Henry felt that Norfolk, Virginia would be a good location to open a business. He asked his friend and coworker George Laberge to become his partner, parted ways with his brother Arthur, and Walker & Laberge began operation on May 1st, 1947.
When Henry retired his son Robert took control of Walker & Laberge and grew it into a regional business with branches in Newport News and Richmond. By the late 70’s Walker & Laberge entered the Washington DC market where over 50 major projects were completed by the early 90’s. In 1983 an office was established in the Salisbury, Maryland area as well.
Now as we approach our 80th year in business, Walker & Laberge Co., Inc. is a third generation business with offices in Norfolk, Virginia and Salisbury, Maryland, and a presence visible all over the Mid-Atlantic area.
