What we do

Built for the buildings your business depends on

We focus on commercial and industrial work — from plants and pumping stations to offices, warehouses, and retail. Old or new, simple or messy, we’ve probably seen it.

Industrial

Plants, factories, foundries, recycling centers, pumping stations. Installations and service — no facility too dirty and no job too small.

Commercial

Offices, retail, restaurants, and warehouses. Installation, repair, maintenance, and tenant buildouts that keep your business running.

Safety inspections

Comprehensive electrical safety inspections for your facility — identify code issues and hazards before they cost you downtime.

24/7 emergency

When the power drops or something dangerous flares up, we answer. Round-the-clock emergency response across Metro Detroit.

Upgrades & installations

Service upgrades, panel work, lighting retrofits, and new installations to modernize your facility’s electrical system.

Controls

From vintage relay logic to modern PLCs — we repair what’s there or upgrade when it’s time. Proven machines deserve to keep running; we believe everything can be fixed.

Why Colville

Old-school work ethic. Modern electrical know-how.

Colville Electric has been in one family for two generations — same name on the truck, same name on the invoice, same name answering the phone. That continuity is the difference between an electrician who shows up once and one who knows your building.

We work commercial and industrial accounts across Metro Detroit. We’ve wired pumping stations, factories, recycling centers, offices, and storefronts — and we’d rather take a small job and do it right than chase headlines.

  • Licensed Electrician on every job
  • Consistent, transparent pricing on every job
  • Every customer treated the same — large or small
  • Clear communication through every phase of the work
  • Customer-first scheduling that fits your operation, not ours
Our story

Family-owned and operated since 1973.

Jim Colville always knew he’d be an electrician. He joined the Navy at 17 to become just that. He served aboard the USS Blackfin, a diesel-electric submarine, then came home to Detroit. Starting as an electrician at Chrysler and, later, an electrical inspector for the City of Detroit.

In 1973, a few months after marrying his wife Ginnie, they decided that they would start their own business. Colville Electric was born out of their home — and the family-business mentality stuck.
