Boldt's History
From humble beginnings in the early 1950’s, Boldt’s has always emphasized a dedication to service & availability.
Boldt's History
After serving his country in World War II, Everett Boldt began his work as a plumbing, sheet metal / heating installer & serviceman in the very same building that Boldt’s is located today. Everett began his business with a $2,000 loan and only 2 employees. In 1960, Everett added business partner, ‘Perk’ Gregerson and the business was called Boldt & Gregerson Hardware until 1977, when the partnership separated and the company name was changed to its current Boldt’s Plumbing & Heating Inc. Everett, and his wife Eleanor, raised four children and celebrated nearly 65 years of marriage. Everett instilled a strong work ethic and sense of community to his family, as they remember most holidays and celebrations being interrupted by Everett going out on a service call to restore someone’s heat or fix a frozen pipe or plugged sewer.
In 1973, Everett’s daughter Jule offered to help her father with his bookwork, resulting in a lifelong commitment to the business, with Jule’s husband, Dale Hudson, joining the company in 1976 as Everett’s apprentice plumber. Dale went on to receive his Master Plumber Certification in 1985, Certified Soil Tester License and continued on to HVAC design. Today, Jule takes care of general management, human resources, and bidding assistance. Dale is semi-retired but continues to work as support and consult as well as serving on the local plumbing apprenticeship board. Together, Jule & Dale have logged over 85 years at Boldt’s!
Boldt's Generations
Boldt’s has also been joined by a third generation as Jule & Dale’s daughter, Gina and her husband Joe join the family run business, taking on more of the business responsibilities.
After years of construction management, Joe joined Boldt’s Plumbing & Heating Inc. in 2012 as an HVAC technician and later finished his plumbing education to become the leader of our professional plumbing and HVAC install teams for new construction, remodel, and service, serving both commercial and residential customers. His unique background in carpentry and construction management gives him an exceptional edge in project planning, knowledge, and leadership.
Gina joined the business in 2020 after a 15-year commitment to healthcare as a registered nurse. Inspired by her grandfather Everett’s service as a male nurse in World War II, Gina graduated with her nursing degree and worked in multiple areas of nursing eventually progressing to a role in provider training and department development. After the sudden passing of Boldt’s office manager, Brian, Gina stepped in to oversee scheduling and operations for her family’s company and left her nursing career to care for people in a completely new way.
Boldt’s acknowledges that we would not be a success without the dedicated service of our many long-time employees, for whom we give our utmost appreciation. As current owner’s, Jule & Dale, along with Gina & Joe, take a very hands-on approach to managing the business, continuing the company’s tradition of service and availability to their customers.
