Company History

Founded in 1889, Fridinger-Ritchie began as a small local shop serving Hagerstown area homes and farms. Over the decades the business expanded services to include heating systems as coal gave way to oil and gas. The company kept a local focus while adding licensed tradespeople and modern equipment.

That long history means deep knowledge of older Hagerstown buildings—stone foundations, historic plumbing runs, and cast-iron mains—as well as newer construction practices in suburban developments.

Leadership

The business remains locally managed, with leadership drawn from experienced tradespeople and longtime staff. Leaders bring practical field experience and familiarity with regional codes, fuel types, and common issues in Washington County homes.

Fridinger-Ritchie participates in local trade groups and supports community projects. The company trains apprentices and maintains licensing across plumbing and heating disciplines.
