I first worked with C.R.I. Electric in 2012 on a 15-20 million dollar project to provide a major power source moving 14 facilities into one that would be viewed by thousands of people. I was impressed by how well-managed and talented the crew was. I’m a perfectionist, a hard guy to please and their staff was as perfectionistic as I am. Another company I spoke to recently, raved about their excellent work. I’m fortunate I met them and to be working with them.
