Schaerer Contracting is the result of a long history of successful projects and lasting relationships. Our roots were planted in 1927 when Warner "Pap" Schaerer started the family owned plastering company. In 1935 Emil Tucker Schaerer joined his father at the age of 21 and continued to grow the business throughout the southeast by delivering quality, skilled workmanship to all clients. In 1968 Schaerer Contracting was incorporated by our 3 rd generation, E. T. "Bud" Schaerer II. Bud, an Army Lieutenant in the 1 st Armored Division, used his military leadership skills as he continued to grow the company into the general contracting company we are today, enjoying many large scale projects during his tenure.
The Shaw RP plant produces LVT, or Luxury Vinyl Tile, for the Shaw Industries group. Located just down the road in Riggold, GA, we completed the tower section of the facility in 2017 totaling at 92,800 square feet. This extrusion facility was completed in 2017 for Shaw Industries and houses the machinery and manpower that makes over 20% of the fibers used by Shaw to make carpets, carpet tiles, rugs, and more. Some of the specific uses of these fibers are those found in the floorboards of your favorite vehicles!
