History of Company

CMI Companies started in 1981 with one man and a pickup truck. Our owner, Andy Campanaro, realized that property managers needed a go-to electrician who could conduct monthly preventative maintenance so that they could ensure their properties were never left in the dark. More than 35 years later, we now have over 30 employees, an extensive arsenal of equipment that allows us to handle the logistics of any job in-house, and we have what it takes to provide turnkey solutions for property managers as well as upcoming developments.

Experience You Can Trust

We believe in making relationships, not enemies, and our philosophy has gained the trust of numerous Fortune 500 companies and established businesses throughout the Mid-Atlantic region.

We are a fully licensed and insured Class A commercial electrical contractor. We take pride in our professional service and commitment to customer satisfaction. We not only operate with OSHA certification, but we also have a certified Safety Officer on staff and all of our personnel hold CPR certification.

We understand that your lighting needs don’t wait for daytime, which is why we offer emergency 24-hour commercial electrical service. We never leave our customers in the dark and we will always be there exactly when you need us. We even have a locksmith on hand who can offer emergency lockwork services as a value-added benefit to our customers to ensure that you’re never locked out.

Lighting is often the biggest consumer of energy in a commercial building and we have the experience and capabilities to design a lighting solution that will maximize your interior comfort while minimizing energy consumption. We also offer a lamp/ballast recycling program as part of our commitment to environmental responsibility.

We offer a wide range of services that are designed to ensure that the lighting in each of the commercial properties we serve is kept in good working order. Our skilled technicians operate an extensive fleet of service trucks, bucket trucks, crane trucks, genie lifts, and directional drilling machines and are always available to provide the highest-quality prompt and professional service.
