Relmec Mechanical

What Relmec Mechanical does

Relmec Mechanical LLC is a Cleveland, Ohio-based mechanical contracting firm that designs, installs, and services HVAC, plumbing, fire protection, and process piping systems for industrial, commercial, and institutional clients across Northeast Ohio. Founded in 1933 as Reliance Mechanical Contractors Inc. and re-established in its current employee-owned form in October 2009, the company operates from a single headquarters at 4975 Hamilton Avenue with 35 full-time staff in management, engineering, estimating, and supervision, supplemented by a unionized field force of more than 100 plumbers, pipefitters, and laborers (drawn from Plumbers Local 55 and Pipe Fitters Local 120). The service portfolio spans new construction and major renovation installation, preventative maintenance contracts, 24/7 emergency HVAC and plumbing response, specialty services such as medical gas piping, vibration analysis and balancing, and building automation/temperature controls, supported by a fleet of 35 service vehicles.

Revenue is generated through two principal streams: project-based mechanical construction (design and installation for new builds and major renovations) sourced via competitive bidding and direct enterprise relationships, and recurring service and maintenance contracts including 24/7 emergency dispatch. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific, with no publicly disclosed rate cards. The company's customer base is anchored by prestigious Northeast Ohio institutions including the Cleveland Clinic (multiple facilities), University Hospital, Louis B. Stokes VA Medical Center, Rocket Mortgage Field House, Progressive Field, First Energy Stadium, Eaton, Sherwin Williams, Key Bank Tower, and the Cleveland Museum of Art. The senior leadership team, CEO Sharon Lunato (with the company since 1988) and President Layne Kendig (since 2005), has been in place since the 2009 employee buyout, and the business is privately held with no external institutional investment.
