The Righter Co., Inc.

The Righter Company, Inc. was founded in Columbus, Ohio, in 1976 by Donald and David Righter, a father and son team.  As a general contractor, the company slowly but steadily grew.  Their construction services included:  bridges, culverts, locks and dam repairs, waste and water treatment plants and various miscellaneous public work improvement projects, in addition to general building construction and renovation projects.

In 1984, Donald Righter retired and was succeeded by David Righter as President for the expanding and profitable construction company.  The open shop general contractor found its core work in the civil area, working primarily for public owners such as Ohio Department of Transportation (ODOT), Ohio Department of Administrative Services, and various Ohio counties and cities, while maintaining some involvement in the private sector with selected industrial clients and the telecommunications markets.  In 1994, with the launching of the Piling and Shoring Division, the company recognized a construction specialty need that matched the work experiences and the strong engineering expertise that the company had developed.  The Righter Company mourned the loss of David Righter, on April 15th, 2005, after a long and courageous struggle with cancer.  On December 27, 2015, The Righter Company mourned the passing of its co-founder, Donald Righter, after a brief illness. Donald was 96 years old and, until a few years previous, had still assisted with estimating in our civil division. We will strive to continue their legacy for years to come.
