Founded in 1920 by E.G. Middleton, Sr. and his wife Thelma in Norfolk, Virginia, E.G. Middleton, Inc. has built a strong legacy as a trusted electrical contracting business. Initially focused on residential projects, the company quickly expanded to tackle non-residential work, including churches and small commercial projects, as it established a reputation for quality and honesty. Over the decades, family involvement has grown, with E.G. Middleton, Jr. and Beverly Middleton joining the business and fostering its expansion into more complex industrial and commercial markets.
In the late 1940s, as the company's scope broadened, it moved towards industrial and design build projects, creating a base that would support future growth, with a transition to heavier construction occurring in the 1960s and 70s. E.G. Middleton, Inc. began working with federal, state, and local government clients, further solidifying its reputation by successfully completing a wide array of projects, including utilities, traffic signalization, and shipyard work.
Now employing around 100-150 skilled electricians, linemen, and cable splicers, E.G. Middleton, Inc. specializes in electrical construction across a variety of sectors, such as food processing, military infrastructure, and transportation. The company has completed thousands of projects over its long history, always adhering to the philosophy that honesty and quality bring about integrity and success. With a commitment to training, every field electrician graduates from a comprehensive five-year apprenticeship program, ensuring the highest standards in workmanship.
Today, led by E.G. Middleton III, the company continues to uphold the values established nearly a century ago, adapting to modern challenges without compromising on quality or integrity. E.G. Middleton, Inc. remains dedicated to serving its clients with a timeless approach to business, reinforcing its position as a reliable and reputable contractor in the industry.
