The Story of Welbilt Homes
In 1986, Larry Reinert, President of Welbilt Homes Inc had a vision to start his own masonry company after learning the trade working several years for both his cousin and his uncle. He formed what was known through the Tricounty area as Reinert Masonry working masonry for many of the builders in the local area. It wasn't long before he had a new desire and that was to build a few homes himself and found out that the process was second nature for him and within a few short years Welbilt Homes Inc was formed and became a household name. Originally located in Maple Grove, Pa. Larry felt that the only way Welbilt Homes Inc would grow would be to move his headquarters to a more densely populated area and in 2005 made the move to Leesport, Pa. where he built an innovative new Design Center and Office Headquarters.
Today along with his wife Fran, his son Chad, his daughter-in-law Kerri, and two granddaughters, Megan and Haylee the future is bright and promising for Welbilt Homes. Larry is in no way looking to retire but when that time does come, both generations have made the commitment to continue their father's and grandfather's vision for Welbilt Homes to serve their community for decades to come.
After nearly 40 years, Larry's commitment to his customers remains very important to him and he goes to every customer's lot and meets them personally and explains the build and the process to them to better help them understand how their new home will sit on their lot.
If you were to ask Larry what the secret was to his success over the years he would tell you that it is the Lord's doing. As a matter of fact, the first thing his customers see when they walk into the lobby of the office is a plaque on the wall that reads: "This is the Lord's doing; it is marvelous in our eyes". Psalm 118:23
