Goals/Objectives: To economically and efficiently maintain and /or replace facility equipment throughout Berkeley County and continuously seek new and improved methods of facility maintenance.

Our goal is to respond to our customer’s facility needs with quality work and service. We are always mindful of the trust that has been bestowed upon us for the management and maintenance of our county facilities.
