Eight years of continuous work inside occupied healthcare facilities taught us how to plan a shutdown, protect a live environment, and finish on someone else’s schedule. That discipline is now how we run retail fit-outs, restaurants, service calls, and power systems.
Small enough that the owner reads your drawings. Structured enough to carry the schedule.
Zimick Electric is a union commercial contractor built around a working estimator-owner. Every set of plans that comes through the door gets read by the person accountable for the outcome, not routed to a queue. Behind that sits a dedicated field team, a maintained fleet, and the systems to keep a multi-phase job on schedule.
Most contractors sell a trade. We sell three distinct delivery models, each with its own team, response time, and paperwork, because a phased hospital renovation and a Tuesday-morning breaker trip are not the same business.
Bid work, negotiated work, and design-build. Ground-up site development through tenant fit-out and phased renovation.
The call you make when something stops working, and the standing relationship that keeps it from stopping again.
Standby generation and EV charging infrastructure, sized and coordinated properly, for facilities and for homeowners who want it done right.
Healthcare is where we learned the habits that now define the company. You cannot improvise in a facility where a corridor is a patient route and a panel shutdown has a clinical consequence. Every switch has to be planned, communicated, witnessed, and reversed on time.
That work shaped how we sequence, how we barricade, how we label, and how we hand a space back. It is why our fit-out crews document as they go and why our service techs assume the building is occupied until told otherwise.
A bid is an opinion about how a building gets built. When we take off a set of drawings we are also reading for the things that quietly cost you money: fixture packages specified past the point of return, feeder runs routed the long way, gear sized for a load that never materialized, and phasing that puts three trades in one room.
You get the number as designed, plus a short list of alternates with the dollar delta attached. No value-engineering theater, just line items you can accept or reject.
We are deliberately concentrated. Depth in a handful of building types beats a list of everything. It means our crews have seen your conditions before and our estimates reflect what the work actually takes.
Hospitals, outpatient and ambulatory suites, medical office buildings, imaging, and specialty practices.
02Shopping-center site work, storefront and facade alterations, pad sites, and landlord infrastructure.
03White-box to turnover for national and regional tenants working against a hard open date.
04Kitchen equipment power, hood and suppression interlocks, dining and exterior lighting, POS infrastructure.
05Firehouses, EMS and ambulance corps buildings, and municipal facilities that cannot lose power.
06Generators and EV charging for commercial sites, and for homeowners who want a commercial standard.
A sample of the environments our crews work in day to day: occupied clinical space, live retail, exposed structure, and outdoor equipment.
Lighting, soffit detail, and device rough-in coordinated around a live clinical schedule.
Canopy and signage circuits reworked over an operating retail frontage with pedestrian protection in place.
Pad-mounted standby set with automatic transfer, load calculation, and start-up verification.
Bids, budgets, value-engineering reviews, and service calls all start the same way: a short conversation with the person who will actually run the work.
