Company History

The story began in January 1955 when A.T. Renaud founded the company. It grew steadily, incorporating in 1964 and moving into its current large Kelso shop in 1976. Ownership passed to the second generation, Thomas and Peggy Renaud, in 1988. In 1999, HVAC manager Buck Allen and his wife Marianne became partners. This set the stage for the third generation, Larry Timmons (A.T. Renaud’s grandson) and his wife Kim, to join as partners in 2006 and assume full ownership in 2024.

Leadership

Larry Timmons, now President, and Kim Timmons, Vice President, continue the family legacy. Larry has been with the company for decades, leading the electrical division. Their deep roots in the community mean they are invested in the region’s well-being and understand the importance of trustworthy service for their neighbors.
