Lake Erie Construction Company developed from a very humble beginning, over 80 years ago, when Paul Bleile began operating a tree service out of his garage. His equipment consisted of a Harley-Davidson motorcycle with an attached toolbox fashioned out of its sidecar. His only employee rode on the toolbox. He worked that way for two years, doing business in a 50 mile radius with gross sales of $3,000 to $5,000 per year. To survive the depression, Paul decided the business had to diversify so he moved into landscape contracting. What was only once one man’s dream has turned into one of Norwalk, Ohio’s largest employers, the Lake Erie Construction Company, formerly the Paul E. Bleile Co. Lake Erie Construction is a specialty contractor that provides installation services for Guardrails, signs, fence, raised pavement markers, noise barrier walls, impact attenuators, along with seeding, sodding, and landscaping services for roadways, as established over 80 years ago. The company works on 400-600 projects annually. Most the company’s work is in a subcontractor’s role in the state of Ohio, but they have also worked as the general contractor in Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Indiana, Georgia, and Florida over the years. Paul’s son, Bob, along with other family members were instrumental in getting the company into the highway safety product lines which took place from 1950-1980. These growth areas now represent the largest share of our business today. Bob also started The Firelands Supply Company, a landscape and construction material supplier. Which still today supplies most of the company’s materials. Three of Bob’s sons, Dave, Mike, and Ken, along with Ray Chapin, now manage Lake Erie Construction along with its 150 employees who are some of the most experienced and knowledgeable in the industry. Please get into contact with us if you need any of these types of projects completed.
