East Coast Electric Inc

What East Coast Electric Inc does

East Coast Electric, Inc. is a privately held commercial and industrial electrical construction company founded in 1986 and headquartered at 37 Main St., Reisterstown, Maryland, where it has operated continuously for over 35 years. The company provides end-to-end electrical services for projects ranging from small service calls up to $10 million single contracts, with a primary service area in the Baltimore metropolitan area and completed projects extending up and down the East Coast. The company is family-owned and operated, with Dave McGettigan serving as President and Master Contractor, and Adam McGettigan managing project management, estimating, and LEED AP-certified green design work. The customer base spans retail, distribution, education, sports, healthcare, media, entertainment, automotive, and real estate — with marquee references including the 1.2 million sq ft Wayfair Distribution facility, Baltimore Ravens Headquarters, Johns Hopkins University Gilman Hall, Target Annapolis, BMW dealership buildouts, and WBAL Channel 11 broadcast infrastructure.

The company's core capabilities rest on two integrated operations: a design-build construction arm in which an in-house design team handles the majority of design work, and a rapid-response service department operating 20+ service trucks and 3 bucket trucks capable of reaching 60 feet for exterior wall lights and light poles. Its service portfolio spans commercial and industrial electrical construction, fire alarm systems, CCTV/security/sound systems, UPS and generator installation, overhead and underground line work, duct banks, control wiring and system design, lighting retrofits, and site lighting. The company carries $30 million in total insurance coverage and $12 million in single-job bonding capacity, which together enable bidding on larger design-build work than smaller competitors can support.

East Coast Electric generates revenue primarily through project-based contracts on a quote-based pricing model, supplemented by recurring service-call work for commercial, industrial, retail, and residential customers in the Baltimore region. Go-to-market is direct field sales through the service fleet and project-based business development, with the company website project portfolio and a Facebook page serving as the principal marketing channels. There is no external investor, private equity, or holding company involvement disclosed; ownership and operational control reside with the McGettigan family.
