Jacob Cramer didn’t just fall into restoration work—he was raised around it. Watching his dad and grandfather build things with their hands sparked something early on. Their craftsmanship, patience, and care laid the groundwork for how Jacob approaches life and work today. He’s not just fixing buildings—he’s helping people feel safe again.
Right after high school, Jacob took a two-year carpentry course at CCCTC, where he began sharpening his skills and building a strong foundation. Over the next decade, he worked across several trades—garage doors, finish carpentry, and residential construction—gaining experience, solving problems, and building a reputation as someone you could always count on.
That steady dedication eventually led him to Zehr Restorations, where he quickly moved from Crew Leader to Project Manager. His eye for detail and steady leadership made him a natural fit for the role.
As Project Manager, Jacob’s job is to make sure restoration projects run smoothly from start to finish. Whether it’s a family dealing with storm damage or a business recovering from water loss, Jacob’s goal is always the same: show up, do the job right, and take care of the people involved.
He works closely with crews, homeowners, and insurance reps—making sure everyone stays informed and everything stays on track. He brings organization, calm, and a genuine concern for people into every project.
What makes Jacob stand out isn’t just his technical skill—it’s his heart. He’s known by coworkers and clients as someone who’s honest, hardworking, and easy to talk to. He believes in being upfront, showing up on time, and doing what he says he’ll do.
More than anything, Jacob wants every family Zehr helps to feel supported. He knows that behind every job is someone going through a tough time—and that’s something he never takes lightly.
When he’s not managing projects, Jacob enjoys quiet moments at home and hobbies that keep him grounded. He loves woodworking, fishing, and cooking Italian meals with his wife. Whether it’s building a custom piece in his garage or spending time outdoors, Jacob values the simple things—family, balance, and doing meaningful work.
For Jacob, working at Zehr Restorations isn’t just a job—it’s a way to serve others. He takes pride in helping people rebuild not just their homes, but their sense of normalcy. And he does it all with the same care, focus, and heart that inspired him all those years ago in his grandfather’s shop.
