What Ace Electric, Inc does

Ace Electric, Inc is a family-owned commercial electrical contractor founded in 1975 in Valdosta, Georgia, by brothers Tom and Bobby Stalvey, and currently operating seven division offices across Georgia (Valdosta, Statesboro, Macon, Atlanta), North Carolina (Sanford), Tennessee (Jackson), and Ohio (Plain City). The company delivers full-scope electrical installation — new construction, renovation, design/build, design/assist, and maintenance — for projects ranging from approximately $300,000 to $130 million across distribution, industrial, manufacturing, healthcare, K-12 and higher education, government/DoD, mission critical, food and beverage, hospitality, correctional, and cold storage sectors. Named enterprise customers include Walmart, Dollar General, University of Florida, Mark Anthony Brewery (White Claw), Children's Hospital of Savannah, ADAL Winn Army Hospital, GESTAMP, Enmarket Arena, and Synnex Corporation.

The company's technical stack centers on Building Information Modeling (BIM), virtual design services, and a climate-controlled in-house prefabrication facility operated through its Ace Engineering & Fabrication subsidiary, which produces Temporary Power Skids, Underground Conduit Racks, In-wall Conduit Assemblies, Overhead Lighting Systems, Fire Alarm/Data Assemblies, and UL 508A certified control panels. Ace University operates as an internal workforce development division delivering a 4-year registered apprenticeship (624 classroom hours plus 8,000 OJT hours), foreman training (up 65% YoY), ProStart entry-level training, and the AMPED high-school internship program in partnership with Wiregrass and Ogeechee Technical Colleges and the Georgia Department of Labor.

Ace generates revenue through project-based contracting — competitive bid and negotiated contracts — with general contractors, construction managers, property developers, government entities, and private businesses. The company holds electrical contracting licensure across 19 states and pursues multi-state enterprise rollouts, particularly in distribution/warehouse and manufacturing verticals. Second-generation owners Tommy Stalvey Jr. (President) and Rob Stalvey (VP) co-own and run field operations alongside CEO Tim Joyce, with founders Tom Stalvey Sr. (CEO Emeritus) and Bobby Stalvey (Chairman) remaining active. The firm previously went public in 1998 as part of Integrated Electrical Services (IES) but bought itself back in 2004 to return to private ownership, and in March 2025 broke ground on a new 30,000 sq ft three-story corporate headquarters in Valdosta.

Direct peers

• IES Holdings, Inc. Publicly traded electrical and infrastructure services contractor with commercial, industrial, and data center exposure. Notably, Ace Electric was itself part of IES from 1998-2004, making IES one of the most directly comparable peers in business model, end markets, and geographic footprint.
• Faith Technologies Incorporated: Large privately held electrical and specialty systems contractor serving commercial, industrial, healthcare, and mission critical markets with in-house prefab and engineering capabilities. Closely comparable to Ace in business model, vertical integration, and target verticals, with somewhat different geographic footprint (Midwest/National).
• Rosendin Electric: Employee-owned electrical contractor with large-scale commercial, data center/mission critical, and renewable energy practices. Directly comparable to Ace in service mix and project-based contracting; significantly larger and national in scope with deep data center exposure.
• Helix Electric: Privately held national electrical contractor specializing in commercial, industrial, healthcare, hospitality, and mission critical projects. Directly comparable to Ace in scope of services, customer mix, and project sizes.
• Power Design, Inc. Large privately held electrical contractor with strong prefab/manufacturing capabilities serving multifamily, commercial, and hospitality markets. Comparable vertically integrated model with in-house prefab, though concentrated in multifamily where Ace has less exposure.
• Cupertino Electric, Inc. Large privately held electrical engineering and construction firm serving commercial, data center/mission critical, healthcare, and renewable energy markets. Comparable to Ace in end-market mix and large-project capability with stronger data center focus.
• M.C. Dean, Inc. Privately held electrical and electronic systems contractor with deep mission critical, data center, and government/DoD practices. Comparable to Ace in commercial and government/DoD exposure with substantially larger mission critical franchise.

Broad incumbents

• EMCOR Group, Inc. Large publicly traded mechanical and electrical construction services firm with national footprint across commercial, industrial, healthcare, and mission critical. Overlaps with Ace's service lines, customer segments, and large-project capability but operates at materially greater scale with both mechanical and electrical offerings.
• MYR Group Inc. Publicly traded electrical construction specialist serving commercial, industrial, and utility markets across the U.S. Comparable project-based contracting model and exposure to large commercial and industrial work, with broader geographic coverage and transmission/distribution capabilities Ace does not have.
• Quanta Services, Inc. Large publicly traded infrastructure services company with significant electrical construction capabilities in power, communications, and industrial markets. Overlaps in industrial and mission critical electrical contracting; substantially larger with utility-focused mix.
