We were extremely grateful to be awarded the exterior and interior steel stud framing, drywall, taping and EIFS plaster scope of work on this awesome project. We started work last year and are nearly done but it looks fantastic. We’ll post more photos when it’s completed but here’s a few, as well as a drone video early on during construction.

We recently completed a sleek and modern new construction design at Ayra Medical Spa in Shiloh, IL. Our team handled the interior and exterior framing, drywall installation and taping with precision and care. On the exterior, we applied a high-quality EIFS (Exterior Insulation and Finish System), giving the spa a clean, contemporary look.

Progress on the new Cahokia High School project we’re working on with Poettker Construction is truly impressive. Our scope of work is steel stud framing, sheathing, drywall, taping, EIFS / DAFS Plaster, acoustical ceilings and specialty ceilings. We’re really grateful to be a part of this awesome project and proud of our guys who are kicking butt out there.

Please help us get the word out! 

We’re gearing up for a busy 10-12 months of plaster work with two very nice EIFS jobs under contract—a large car dealership in Creve Coeur, MO (starting soon) and a large hotel in O’Fallon, IL (mid-winter)—along with Many mid/small size plastering projects.  As we continually try to improve long term, we’re looking to hire an apprentice plasterer to join our team.

We’re not just hiring to fill a spot. We want someone who:

• Is committed to building a long-term career here, not just holding a job.
• A good person, who works hard, stays humble, and takes pride in their craft.
• Will care about our company and their future with us.

We know finding the right person is not going to be easy, and plastering might not be the first career choice for many.  However, we firmly believe that being a union plasterer with George Weis offers unique benefits over other construction trades or companies, providing a rewarding, long-term career that truly stands out in the construction industry.

If someone you know might be a great fit or are interested and have questions, please give us a call at 618-476-3291 or email jobs@georgeweiscompany.com 

Roughly $20-$40/hr plus ~$ 20/hour into a pension Plus health insurance and performance bonuses

Our plastering team completed an EIFS repair on a column at a bank located in Alton.

We are honored to share that George Weis Company was the recipient of the AWCI Quality Award – Excellence in Construction for the St. Louis University – Champion’s Center Project!

• AWCI stands for Association of the Wall and Ceiling Industry in which GWC has been a member of for the past 3 generations of ownership.

AWCI has members (2,400+) from all across the country who perform the same scope of work as us and submit their most exclusive projects. So, for GWC to be a recipient of this award and be recognized for our craftsmanship / quality of work on this project is truly an honor.  

The SLU-CC project was full of challenges from start to finish, which is expected out of a project of this complexity + a fast schedule to boot. Yet, the GWC team rose to the occasion and worked together to make it all come together. Each one of our guys who worked with this project played a part in reaching the finish line.  (12,800 Hours in total were worked on the project)

This award is a true testament to the capabilities of what GWC can and will continue to achieve in the future. We are proud and blessed to be a part of a team with so many talented and hardworking people. From the field, to the warehouse, to the office, the GWC team worked together to get it done!
