Our Story
What started as a small mechanical contracting company in 2019 has grown into one of the Upper Peninsula’s most respected and reliable specialty contractors.
From our early days taking on residential HVAC installs to now leading complex commercial and industrial projects, we’ve expanded both our services and our team. Along the way, we’ve had the honor of working on some of the U.P.’s most essential builds—from local hospitals and schools to custom residential and commercial systems.
Our reputation was built the old-fashioned way—by showing up, doing excellent work, and standing behind every job we complete.
