Aupperle Construction

Aupperle Construction was founded by Gottlob Aupperle in 1905. Gottlob marked his work with the date of construction stamped in concrete with the earliest date of 1905. At this time, cement was shipped in burlap bags and necessary sand and gravel was dug from a creek on his farm. The second generation continued with Gottlob’s two sons, William and Orin. William Aupperle ran the concrete business year round while Orin Aupperle helped with the farming. During this period, Aupperle Construction became a premier concrete contractor in the residential market, In 1965, the business became incorporated in Illinois as W.M. Aupperle & Sons, Inc. The third generation is represented by William’s sons Ken, Bill Jr., and Steve and Orin’s son, Roger. These four men have expanded the business into commercial and industrial concrete work and excavation while maintaining the specialty concrete work Aupperle Construction became famous for. Competent craftsmen performing quality work within budget has helped Aupperle Construction maintain a loyal client base in a competitive market. As we celebrate our 100 year anniversary and welcome in the fourth generation of Aupperle Construction, Gottlob’s words still hold true: “Do each job as though it was the only job you had to do.”
