We grew up
on the job site.
AB Companies started in 1987 with a single truck and a copper-pipe trade. Four decades later, we operate four specialized field companies under one roof — but the operating model hasn't changed. The people who bid the work do the work, and the principals are still on the lift with the crew.
Self-performed
We crew the work in-house. No subcontractor chain, no surprises.
Safety-first
Every project carries the same safety standards regardless of scope.
Hands-on ownership
Principals are on site weekly. Decisions stay close to the field.
Built to last
We bid jobs we can stand behind a decade later.
