If it were not for Bill's his hard work and dedication, we would not be here today. Located initially at 207 S. 3rd Street in Norfolk, we were the leader in residential and commercial projects pioneering the way for new technology. Throughout the 1940s and 1950s, Bill Volkman continued to grow the business and establish dominance in Northeast Nebraska.

In 1960, Volkman Plumbing & Heating became incorporated. Bill Volkman had two partners while operating the business until 1973 when he then retired, and day-to-day activities transitioned to its current president, Aaron G. Volkman. In 1974, with eight employees, we built and moved into our new and current location at 211 S. 3rd Street, here in Norfolk.
