OUR HISTORY
Edward Joy Company is now in its 130th year of operation. From its founding and guidance in 1875 by a first generation Irish immigrant, who’s name was really Edward Joy, to the present leadership of Leonard P. Markert, III, (great-great-great nephew), it has remained as a privately held family business by Joy descendants.
Mr. Edward Joy was a Plumber and started his business as a Plumbing-Gasfitting-Steam fitting Shop which gradually expanded and evolved into multi-faceted corporation that included not only plumbing, heating and gas fitting but a jobber of electrical and plumbing supplies as well as a retailer of residential lighting fixtures.
Today, the company is a well known mechanical contractor / fabricator and maintains a large clientele of customers in the Mechanical Contracting Industry. As a testimonial to its versatility and uniqueness in the construction field, Edward Joy Company issued ten commemorative plates on ten consecutive Christmases that pointed out the work the Company performed in various buildings.
