What Joe Moore & Company, Inc. does

Joe Moore & Company, Inc. is a privately held refractory and boiler repair contractor founded in 1957 by Joseph L. Moore, Sr. and headquartered at 1431 Gavin Street, Raleigh, NC. The company performs refractory installation and repair (plastics, castables, gunnites, shotcretes, brick, ceramic fiber, and insulation), boiler tube replacement and code welding repair for firetube and watertube boilers, ASME-certified pressure vessel work, mechanical services (piping, pumps, fuel feed systems, duct work), and custom precast refractory shape fabrication. Its technical capabilities are anchored by NBBI R-Stamp and ASME S-Stamp and U-Stamp certifications (obtained in 1980) and by ASME Section IX qualified welders with up to 30 years of experience.

The company generates revenue through two main streams: professional services revenue from project-based refractory and boiler repair contracts, and hardware sales of refractory materials and boiler parts stocked at the Raleigh warehouse for delivery throughout the Southeast. Pricing is quote-based and determined by project scope, materials, and service type. Customer acquisition is relationship-driven through direct field sales and a 24/7 emergency support hotline, with the website (joemoorecompany.com) serving as a digital presence and service request channel.

The company serves six industrial verticals across the Southeast United States: Biomass and Wood Products, Heat Treatment, Incineration and Sterilization, Institutional/Commercial (churches, universities, hospitals, government agencies), Power Generation, and Pulp and Paper. Operations are conducted through field service teams deployed at customer sites and a warehouse operation that enables quick-turn parts and materials delivery. The company remains family-owned across multiple generations with no disclosed private equity, venture, or institutional investor involvement.
