JWC Specialties was founded in 1969 by Claude R. Johnson. From the beginning the company established a niche as specialists in the moisture-proofing trade. In the early 1980’s the company expanded into commercial waterproofing and caulking systems and added membrane roofing and sheet metal work in the mid 1980’s. Standing Seam metal roofing and metal wall systems were incorporated into JWC’s program in the late 1980’s and over the past twenty-three years has become the major emphasis for company projects. Throughout its thirty-four year history, ownership has been retained by the Johnson family.

The geographic reach of JWC Specialties now extends throughout the South and Southwestern part of the country. Today, JWC offers services in Caulking & Sealants, Waterproofing, Damproofing, Epoxy Systems, Concrete Restoration, Single-Ply Roofing, Architectural Standing Seam Roofing, Retro-fit Metal Roofing, Metal Wall Panel Systems and other specialized metal construction. JWC’s annual sales had grown to over fifteen million dollars by 2003.

Michael Johnson, JWC Specialties’ President, credits Berridge’s single-source painted material and roll former machinery program with positioning their company to be able to execute high profile, unique projects and to adapt architectural specifications into perfectly executed projects. Michael Johnson, in describing his company’s philosophy states: "We seek out design challenges and take pride in successfully completing the project -- Berridge has the products to make any design concept become reality!"
