About Us
Two generations. One standard.
We're not a franchise. We're not a corporation. We're a family that's been doing electrical work in Vermont for over 25 years.
In 1999, Don McCormick decided he'd had enough of working for other people. He knew how to do electrical work the right way, and he knew there were people in his community who deserved better than what they were getting from the big outfits. So he grabbed his tools, put his name on a truck, and got to work.
There wasn't a business plan. There wasn't outside investment. There was just Don, showing up when he said he would, doing the job right the first time, and charging a fair price for honest work. Word got around. That's how it works in small towns.
Twenty-five years later, the phone still rings. The truck has been replaced a few times, but the approach hasn't changed. And now there's someone else answering that phone alongside Don: his kid, Alex, who grew up watching how it's done and is now carrying it forward as co-owner.
And if you stop by the shop, you might see Don's father around too. He used to work for Don back in the day, and he still likes to keep an eye on things. Three generations, all connected to this little business.
The People
Don McCormick
Founder
Started it all in 1999. Over 25 years of experience. Still thinks there's no substitute for doing the job right.
Alex McCormick
Co-Owner
Second generation. Grew up in the trade. Recently joined the business in an ownership role to carry it forward.
What we believe
The job isn't done until it's done right.
We don't cut corners. We don't upsell you on things you don't need. We don't disappear when something goes wrong. That's not complicated stuff, but you'd be surprised how rare it is.
When you hire McCormick Electric, you're hiring your neighbors. We live in this community. Our kids go to the same schools. We shop at the same stores. Our reputation isn't some abstract business metric - it's whether people wave back when we drive by.
