A Legacy of Excellence

History

Founded in 1997 by David L. Hatton in Houston, Texas. previously known as Facilities Electric, Inc. The company began as a four-person startup built on a simple philosophy: treat people well, deliver dependable service with integrity, and build lasting client partnerships. As demand grew, the company expanded its capabilities from traditional electrical contracting to large-scale commercial construction, backup power systems, and advanced electrical infrastructure solutions. In the early 2000s, Facilities Mechanical, Inc. was established to provide HVAC, retrofit, preventive maintenance, and energy-efficient mechanical services—complementing the electrical division while operating independently. Today, the two divisions have been fully integrated into one organization employing more than 200 professionals, united by a commitment to safety, technical excellence, disciplined growth, and long-term investment in both people and the communities they serve.
