LEVETT MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS

What LEVETT MECHANICAL CONTRACTORS does

Levett Mechanical Contractors, Inc. (LMI), founded in 1982 and headquartered in Houma, Louisiana, is a privately held, non-union commercial mechanical contractor specializing in plumbing, medical gas systems, and site utilities across the southeastern United States. The company operates under Master Plumber and State Contractors licenses in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Arkansas, with a portfolio spanning retail (Walmart, Home Depot, Lowes, AT&T, Petco), hospitality (Applebee's, Olive Garden, Hampton Inn, Fairfield Inn), healthcare (Lake Charles Memorial Hospital, dental clinics requiring medical gas), energy (Chevron-Texaco, Shell, Schlumberger, offshore vessels), education, and municipal projects. Service delivery relies on licensed journeymen and master plumbers, an apprenticeship pipeline, and field-based diagnostic equipment including sewer video camera inspection and high-pressure jetter machines. Levett also offers value engineering and design-build services to compress installation cost, plus a Service Division that handles post-construction maintenance, backflow testing, drain cleaning, water heater and gas line work, and sewer treatment plant installation.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts awarded primarily via general contractor relationships (Ratcliff, Lewing, Hand Construction, Deumite), with all pricing quoted per project scope and specifications rather than through standardized or recurring SaaS-type contracts. Customer acquisition leans on repeat business, national-chain relationships, and a website-served project portfolio rather than paid digital channels. Operating risk concentration is moderate: the company is regionally anchored in the Gulf South construction cycle, exposed to retail and oil & gas capex swings, and has no disclosed subscription or contracted maintenance annuity that would smooth cyclicality. Ownership is private with no institutional investors, parent entity, or M&A activity disclosed; the primary data gaps are revenue magnitude, headcount, ownership structure, and project backlog.

Others
