How W.A. Zimmer Became a Leader in Outdoor Living and Shade Solutions
Founded on family values and a commitment to quality craftsmanship, W.A. Zimmer has grown into a leader in the industry, known for exceptional service and high-quality sunrooms and shade solutions that last a lifetime.
About W.A. Zimmer Company
W.A. Zimmer Company was founded in 1976 by Bill and Marcia Zimmer as a small home improvement company in Huntington, IN with a simple mission: to provide maintenance-free products professionally installed by craftsmen who genuinely care about their work. As a family-owned and operated business, we are proud to be active members in the communities we serve, sharing the same values and dedication to quality.
As Bill Zimmer reflects, “As we bump into past customers from the last 49+ years at grocery stores, restaurants, the YMCA, and other local spots, the greatest reward of owning a small business is hearing how our projects have exceeded their expectations in use, durability, and service. This success comes from our commitment to employing our own installation crews rather than subcontracting the work.
Employee installers have a vested interest in our customers’ satisfaction. They want referrals to keep coming in and take pride in hearing homeowners speak highly of their craftsmanship. Taking care of the customer and their property is essential to our company’s continued growth and success.”
Over nearly five decades, W.A. Zimmer Company has grown into a trusted name in outdoor living solutions, serving homeowners across Northern Indiana and Southwest Michigan. In 2023, we expanded with a new showroom in Elkhart, IN, proudly serving South Bend, Mishawaka, Northwest Indiana, and Southwest Michigan, while our original location in Huntington continues to serve Fort Wayne, Wabash, Angola, and Northeast Indiana.
Today, W.A. Zimmer is more than the two people who started it. It’s a dedicated team of craftsmen, trusted manufacturers who deliver exceptional products, and loyal customers who return for additional projects and recommend us to their friends and family.
To all of our customers and supporters, thank you for making the last 49+ years a success. We look forward to helping you shade your space for years to come!
