Ridge Electric, LLC

What Ridge Electric, LLC does

Ridge Electric, LLC is a privately held, family-owned electrical contracting firm established in 2005 and headquartered in Grand Junction, Colorado. The company provides commercial, residential, and industrial electrical construction, maintenance, and data/communications services, with a primary focus on large commercial projects. Its service portfolio spans Data/Communications Design, Electric Power Services, Hazardous Locations, Interior & Exterior Lighting Design (including LED upgrades and IECC 2021 compliance), Light Control Systems, Machine Troubleshooting/Wiring/Power, New Construction, Preventative Maintenance, Motor Controls, and Project Design & Engineering. A dedicated Oil & Gas Industry Experience division performs electrical work in classified hazardous locations for clients such as Schlumberger, Crestwood Crude Oil, Summit Midstream, and Kodiak Oil and Gas across the Bakken region in North Dakota and Wyoming.

The company generates revenue through project-based, quote-priced electrical contracting engagements rather than product sales or subscription pricing. It uses a direct field sales motion with phone, email, and website contact channels, and offers free estimates as a lead conversion mechanism. Its customer base spans government (Montrose Public Safety, Delta County Jail, VA Prosthetics Clinic, Grand Junction VA Boiler), education (West End Public School, Colorado Mesa University), healthcare (St. Mary's Hospital, Delta Memorial Hospital), manufacturing (DT Swiss), retail (Pilot Truck Stop), utilities (New Castle Water Treatment), and energy (oil & gas operators). Service territory covers Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming with recurring project-based deployment into North Dakota for oil & gas work.

Ridge Electric operates as a small independent firm reported at 11-50 employees with no disclosed revenue, no funding rounds, no parent company, and no institutional ownership. Leadership is centered on President Wade Schultz, who progressed from apprentice (2007) to licensed journeyman (2011) to Masters license holder and President. The firm holds Colorado Licensed Electrical Contractor credentials (since March 2005), is bonded and certified, and carries an A+ BBB rating. Its differentiation relies on licensed and certified technicians, multi-state operational reach, and a specialized hazardous-locations capability for energy infrastructure projects.
