It comes easy when you love what you do. Our philosophy on the subject is simple: with each new project, the only thing we expect of our team is their finest work ever. We do what it takes, we put in the effort, we get it done.
Dependability
We appreciate what it means to run a business. That’s why we take an ownership mentality with every project. Whatever challenge you throw at us, we intend to tackle it as if the entire job depended on us.
Loyalty
Our expertise is electrical. But our commitment is people. We know relationships are the most important connections we make. And our success is a result of a servant’s heart: we take care of those we serve, both on the job and in our shop.
People First
It’s a simple concept: if you want to work for the best, work with the best.
We’ve been in the business long enough to understand that excellence on the job is a matter of culture. That’s why we keep our devotion to both clients and staff on equal footing.
When you take care of one, you take care of both. The results speak for themselves.
With a staff of more than 30 personnel and over 40 years’ combined experience in our leadership team, American Electric Construction has mastered more than the electric trade. We’ve mastered team building. We promote a healthy work/life balance and pride ourselves in a team of electricians that like working together, like learning together, and like pushing each other.
