History

Continuing in the tradition of a master tradesman, founder John W. Todd Jr. learned his hard work ethic from his father John Todd Sr. – a union master plaster with Plasters Union Local #80.

The junior Todd worked skillfully alongside his father on several projects while in high school. Upon graduation, Todd joined the Plasters Union Local #80 as an apprentice and became a Journeyman Plaster in 1988.

His work on veneer, ornamental, and EIFS plastering applications with major interior trade contractors such as Acme Arsena and G-Q Drywall quickly gained him an excellent reputation as a solid, diligent up and coming tradesman.

After several years of dedicated service and quality craftsmanship, Todd launched his own general contracting and interior contracting firm, respectfully named John W. Todd & Associates (JWT&A). The firm participated in several projects performing carpentry and plastering services for clients such as Discount Drug Mart, The Cleveland Museum of Art, The Lake County Sheriff Department and Wal-Mart.

In 2005, JWT&A progressed into construction management with The Cleveland Clinic as its first major project management client. This joint venture project with mentors Ozanne Construction Company and Turner Construction afforded the opportunity to showcase JWT&A’s superior work and timely deliverables.

Today, JWT&A is poised for growth having recently added carpentry to its array of services.
