Michael from Bolton Services did a great job fixing the main water shut-off valve at my home. He was professional, efficient, and the quality of work was excellent—all at a very reasonable price. Everything’s working perfectly now. Highly recommend Bolton Services!

Outstanding services provided by Aaron and will highly recommend. Scheduling timeline was a bit problematic, and would have preferred to be contacted by text vs email.

I cannot recommend this company highly enough—they truly stand out as the best in the industry! I had five different plumbing companies assess a significant job at my home, but none of them took the time to thoroughly investigate the issue. When Bolton came out three times just to pinpoint the exact problem and outline the necessary work, I knew I had found the right company. Their dedication to getting it right is unparalleled. If you want quality service from professionals who genuinely care, Bolton is the clear choice!

Michael did an excellent job replacing my propane hot water heater!! He was extra courteous & kind. He knew exactly what was needed and completed the work in less than an hour. And I was very pleased that he took the old one for disposal and that I didn’t have to deal with that.
From setting up the appointment to completing the job, I’m so happy I chose Bolton! I’d highly recommend Bolton Services and Michael.
Thank you Michael & Bolton for giving me piece of mind after having my propane water heater died. And the return of a warm shower!!

Michael Shelton’s work was superb!
He was personable, friendly, and worked efficently, explaining as he began and at the end of service.
Thank you, Michael! I will request Michael next time we have a plumbing problem.
And thanks to you, Ronnie, for talking candidly and honestly with me yesterday and again this morning.
Lastly, thanks to you, Annette, for taking my call and letting me talk with Ronnie yesterday and for setting up the appointment promptly for this morning–and for calling to let me know Michael was on the way.
Good people makes for good business!
Thanks again to all of you!

1923

Pictured: Post Card Photo of Atlantic Coastline Railroad

In 1923, at the request of developers Thomas Bland and Broadus Griffin, William E. Bolton Sr. left the Atlantic Coastline Railroad of Rocky Mount to oversee construction of the mechanical system for Raleigh’s first high-rise hotel, the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel.

1925

Pictured: The Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel

William E. Bolton Sr. remained as head maintenance engineer for one year following the completion of the Sir Walter Raleigh Hotel in January 2024. In 1925 William Bolton Sr. established W.E. Bolton Company, focusing on installing and servicing coal-fired heating systems.

1928

Pictured from left to right: Mike Moser, Steve Harrower, and Scott Harrower

Moser Inc., founded by Verne Moser, similar to Bolton, provided Western North Carolina with Plumbing, Heating, and Air Conditioning services.

1942

Pictured: Old Leased Space on West Martin and Harrington Street

The Bolton Company endured the Great Depression and continued to grow steadily through the 1930s. W.E. Bolton Sr. leased an office and shop building on the corner of West Martin and Harrington Streets until the outbreak of World War II. Shortages caused by the war reduced sales and forced Bolton to operate his business out of his home.

1946

Pictured: The USS Yorktown

After six years of service in the armed forces—much of it spent as an aircraft mechanic aboard the USS Yorktown—and upon completing his degree at North Carolina State College, William E. Bolton Jr. joined his father in the family business. In 1946, with just three employees, they opened a new office at 519 West North Street. The W.E. Bolton Company became an integral part of Raleigh’s remarkable post-war expansion, continuing to serve residential customers while steadily growing its presence in the commercial market. It was during this time that William Bolton Jr. began installing and servicing refrigeration equipment for local dairies.

1955

1957

Pictured: Photo of The New Office

By 1956, the newly named Bolton Air Conditioning & Heating Company had outgrown its North Street offices. Construction of a 10,000-square-foot office facility at 919 West Morgan Street was completed in 1957.

1963

Pictured: The North Carolina State Legislative Building

In 1963, the company received its single largest project to date when it was awarded the contract for heating and cooling the new North Carolina State Legislative Building. Work on the project coincided with the initiation of a decade-long move to broaden operations to include all mechanical trades (plumbing, heating, air conditioning, refrigeration, ventilation, industrial piping, utility, and electrical construction).

1978

Pictured: The Century Station Post Office

A few of Bolton’s projects during this period included Martin County Hospital in Williamston, NC; North Carolina Archives & History Building; North Carolina Department of Administration Building; Century Station Post Office Renovations; and the D. H. Hill Library at NCSU.

This diversification promoted a change in the company name to Bolton Corp. in 1970. Throughout the 1970s, Bolton Corp. grew in size and complexity, undertaking projects such as Rex Hospital, the School of Veterinary Medicine at NCSU, the Radisson Hotel, the Raleigh Civic Center renovation, the One Hanover Square Office, UCB Plaza, and the American Airlines Hub at RDU.

1993

Pictured: Moser Inc. Logo

In early 1993 Bolton Corp. acquired Moser Inc. of Asheville, NC. Moser Inc., founded in 1928 by Verne Moser, also provided a wide range of plumbing, heating, and air conditioning services to commercial and residential customers. During Moser Inc.’s time serving the citizens of Western North Carolina they completed many impressive projects at establishments such as Grove Park Inn, The Biltmore Estate and the Asheville Civic Center just to name a few. Verne Moser’s son, David Moser, and son-in-law, John Harrower, both joined the Moser Company in 1945. By 1972 Mike Moser, Scott Harrower and Steve Harrower, all grandsons of Verne and the third generation, became actively involved with the family business. Many former Moser Inc. employees still work at Bolton’s Asheville Office, including Steve Harrower, VP.

2002

Pictured: Mike Bolton

By the late 90’s Bolton Corp., with William E. Bolton III (Bill) as President and CEO, had nearly 500 employees and offices in Raleigh, Asheville, Morehead, and Wilmington. Following the death of William E. Bolton Jr., the Bolton family business began a transition to split into separate business units among the Bolton brothers: Mike, Doug, and Bill. In 2002, Bill Bolton established W.E. Bolton Construction and Service, LLC in Raleigh. Soon several large projects were awarded to the new company, including projects at North Carolina State University, Duke University, and the Federal Correctional Institute in Butner.

2003

In early 2003, the W.E. Bolton Construction And Service added Stainless Steel Fabricators, Inc. and the former Asheville Division of Bolton Corp. to its family.

Triangle Business Journal issues the Bolton Construction and Service, LLC Family Business Award for overall excellence, innovation, ethics, philanthropy, and contribution to the strength of the region.

2020

During the 2010’s business ownership and day-to-day operation management shifted to the 4th generation, first to Will Bolton in the Raleigh office, then by early 2020 to Mark Bolton in Western North Carolina. Bolton WNC won the Carolina Business Journal Small Business of the year award later that same year.
