About J.S. Walton & Company, Inc.
One visit to the office of J.S. Walton & Co., Inc., a leading heavy, highway, and industrial contractor in the Mobile area, and it’s easy to see this is a company that takes great pride in history and tradition. “Were in our fourth generation,” says company President William R. Walton, gesturing at a vintage black-and-white photo hanging on the wall. William, along with his brother Norman J. Walton Jr., Executive Vice President, oversees the business established by the man in the photo-their grandfather, John S. Walton Sr.

Founded in 1919 in Brandenberug, Kentucky, one of the company’s first jobs was building sidewalks in the small town of Princetown.

Walton Jr. joined their father’s firm, and continued to perform extensive construction work in the heavy, highway, and industrial areas. As the holder of “Alabama contractor’s License #31,” J.S. Walton & Co., Inc., is one of the longest-operating construction companies in the state.
