Company History
For many generations, the
Dillabaugh family has been moving structures in Indiana,
Illinois, and Michigan. Over the years we've branched out
into other areas of specialty including demolition, excavation,
and rigging. We've also traveled to states outside those
bordering Indiana on occasion.
Currently, our company is
owned by the fifth generation and operated by the fifth and
sixth generations. With nearly half our workforce having
the last name 'Dillabaugh', we're truly a family
business.
Our company began in the
1870s with our first generation, Adam Dillabaugh. He
really didn't set out to be a building mover, but became one
out of necessity. Most income at that time was derived
from farming, and farmers needed to move buildings
around. During those years, many communities boasted
someone experienced in structural moving. Adam's
experience was limited to the needs of the local farmers, but
he'd acquired enough knowledge and skill to pass on to his son,
Charles.
