Tribble Electric

What Tribble Electric does

Tribble Electric is a privately held, full-service electrical contractor founded in October 1983 and headquartered at 1575 Mountain Rd, Glen Allen, Virginia. The company serves commercial and residential customers across Central Virginia through four dedicated service departments: Commercial Construction, New Home Residential, Integrated Systems, and a 24/7 Service Department. Its technical scope spans power distribution, lighting systems, fire alarm, security systems, structured cabling, audio/visual installations, access control, and building automation. Notable projects include The Chasen (352-unit multifamily with Hourigan), The Bakery Tower (211-unit luxury apartment with SWA Construction), and custom residential builds (e.g., Keel Custom Homes). The company holds Virginia DCJS License #11-17650 and Class A License #2705177312.

Tribble Electric operates a project-based revenue model for construction work combined with recurring service revenue from its 24/7 Service Department. Pricing is quote-based and project-specific with no public pricing. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting general contractors, developers, and residential builders, supplemented by inbound phone/web contact for service work. Customer segments are horizontally diversified across commercial construction, new home residential, integrated systems, and ongoing maintenance. The firm markets primarily through its website and organic social presence on Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and YouTube, with project case studies and partner testimonials serving as proof points.

The company is founder-led under President Steve Tribble and EVP David Wenzlaff, with a bench of dedicated department managers (Service, Residential, Integrated Systems, Warehouse & Fleet, Preconstruction) and multiple Project Managers. Tribble emphasizes disciplined execution, value engineering, safety-minded professionalism, and a team-first culture, positioning reliability and proactive coordination as primary differentiators versus what it characterizes as an industry prone to missed handoffs and reactive problem-solving. The company remains locally owned, has no disclosed institutional investors or parent entities, and operates exclusively within Central Virginia.
