Rutherford Company Inc, established in 1970 by Jim Rutherford, began as a small subcontracting firm operating from a residential garage. With a strong commitment to clients and an innovative approach, the company quickly expanded its services to include drywall, metal stud framing, and lathing. Over the years, additional divisions were launched including plastering, scaffolding, and fireproofing. A pivotal moment came in 1978 when Rutherford Co. partnered with a market leader to create mock-up panels for the revolutionary Exterior Insulation and Finish Systems (EIFS), allowing them to become a leader in the EIFS market within California. Throughout the early 1990s, Rutherford Co. gained recognition for its successful installations of acoustical plaster solutions in various Metro-Rail tunnel projects, enhancing their focus on sound mitigation. In response to industry demands, the company further diversified by collaborating with sheet metal contractors, acquiring a C-43 license, and becoming a certified distributor and installer of metal panels. This strategic move enabled them to offer comprehensive waterproofing solutions alongside their cladding services, facilitating smoother operations during construction phases. In 2010, a satellite location in Clovis was opened to better serve clients along the busy ninety-nine corridor. Emphasizing the health and safety of its employees, Rutherford Company Inc has implemented rigorous safety measures, including partnerships with compliance specialists for regular job-site visits. As the construction industry embraces advanced technologies, Rutherford Co. has integrated Building Information Modeling (BIM) into its operations, maintaining a competitive edge through strategic project management. With a wide array of exterior cladding options and a strong dedication to innovation, Rutherford Company Inc sets itself apart as "The New Paradigm" in exterior cladding subcontracting.
