What Stinson Electric, Inc. does

Stinson Electric, Inc. is a commercial and industrial electrical contractor headquartered in Blaine, Minnesota, serving the Minneapolis/St. Paul seven-county metropolitan area. Founded in 2008 and operating with 11-50 employees, the company delivers a full spectrum of electrical services — from design-build construction and standby generator installation to EV charger deployment, LED lighting design, electrical service and distribution upgrades, architectural dimming and lighting controls, site work, and ongoing technical diagnostics (including power quality analysis, infrared thermography, and Arc Flash Analysis). It pursues a vertical-specialization go-to-market, targeting eight distinct end markets: industrial and manufacturing, warehouse and distribution centers, automotive dealerships and repair facilities, corporate offices, medical and dental clinics, retail and banking, restaurants and hospitality, and child care and education.

The company's technical platform is built around in-house AutoCAD drafting, AGI Lighting simulation, EZ Power power system modeling, COMcheck energy compliance auditing, and infrared thermography imaging, supplemented by a Zero Punch-List Quality Control Program. It maintains compliance certifications including OSHA 10 and NFPA 70E training, and processes LED lighting rebates through partnerships with Xcel Energy, the Center for Energy and Environment (CEE), Dakota Electric, and Connexus Energy. Its customer base spans recognizable regional and national brands such as Toyota Bloomington, Lexus of Maplewood, BMW Motorwerks, City County Credit Union, Holy Family Academy, Lexington Logistics, Buffalo Wild Wings, New Horizon Academy, and Amazon.

Stinson Electric generates revenue primarily through professional services delivered on a project and time-and-materials basis, with pricing quoted per engagement rather than publicly disclosed. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting commercial and industrial customers across the Minneapolis/St. Paul metro. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors or parent entity, and is structured as a Minnesota corporation. It maintains active memberships across regional trade associations (Associated Builders and Contractors, Minnesota Subcontractors Association, the Electrical Association, North Central Electrical League, and the National Federation of Independent Businesses) to access apprenticeship pipelines and industry resources.
