Our Story

Wheelock & Sons Welding was established in 1946 by Raymond Wheelock. He opened a small shop just nine miles west of Traverse City to serve his many neighbors. He worked out of his one room shop helping to repair the various equipment from area farmers. He prided himself on the quality of his work and overall helping his neighbors.

Raymond's son Addison and his wife Bonny took over the family business in 1960 helping to grow and expand the business. Demand for their service and quality of their products continued to gain noteriety in the area. Addison and Bonny have seen the business grow from a small one room shop into an approximately 10,000 square foot building. With the help of their two sons Addison Jr. "Sonny" and Randy their services have expanded to include powdercoating, sandblasting, and more diverse custom fabrication projects.

Sonny and Randy took over the business in 2002. As of today, the third generation of Wheelock & Sons Welding Inc. continues to grow based on the principles established by Raymond Wheelock back in the 1940's. Hard work, quality products, and service are what Wheelock & Sons Welding, Inc. continues to strive to provide its loyal customer base. While continuing to provide quality products and services, the Wheelock family strives to be a quality neighbor as well.
