What Groves Electrical Service Inc does

Groves Electrical Service, Inc. is a family-owned electrical contracting firm headquartered in Farmers Branch, Texas, operating continuously in the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex since its founding in March 1968 by Lee Groves. The company delivers new construction electrical installation, pole and street lighting installation, sports lighting, remodel and tenant finish-out work, and ongoing maintenance and service across K-12 schools, colleges, universities, municipal buildings, fire stations, libraries, courthouses, city halls, performance halls, restaurants, hotels, multi-family dwellings, memory care facilities, and commercial properties. Under family leadership — Bill Groves as President, Selena Zarate as COO, and Maria Groves as CFO following founder Lee Groves' passing in February 2016 — the company has grown to 100+ employees organized across Operations, Estimating, Construction, Service, Sports and Street Lighting, and Warehouse departments.

The company's core technology is its owned heavy equipment fleet, which includes three bucket trucks, a 30-ton crane with 150' of boom, two backhoe excavators, three compact excavators, two directional boring machines, a digger derrick, a wheel loader, three trenchers, a concrete coring machine, and four scissor lifts, plus in-house warehouse capability to bend up to 4-inch EMT and rigid conduit and thread conduit internally. This equipment ownership eliminates rental delays and supports competitive bid pricing. Talent infrastructure — four Master Electricians, over twenty Journeyman Electricians, and over 100 Apprentice Electricians — is trained in-house, forming a structured apprenticeship pipeline.

Groves generates revenue through three primary streams: new construction electrical installation awarded via competitive bidding on public-sector and commercial projects (one-time project revenue), service and maintenance work dispatched through a fleet of service trucks with subscription-style monthly lighting maintenance contracts capped at $150/month for labor and equipment (recurring revenue), and crane and equipment rental with operator (transactional revenue). Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, relying on word-of-mouth referrals, a website-based project portfolio, and competitive bidding targeting municipalities, school districts, property managers, and commercial businesses across the DFW region. The company has completed 1,380+ projects for 500+ customers since 1968, installing 12,600 miles of conduit, and has earned industry recognition including the TASA/TASB Caudill Award for Design Excellence.
