About

S&S Electrical Contractors

S&S Electrical Contractors is an Electrical Contractor located in McMinnville, Oregon. S&S is solely owned and operated by Ben Sullivan. Ben established S&S in 2010.
The original idea behind the new company was to “provide a safe and quality installation at a reasonable price” for the many customers that Ben had worked with in his
previous 15 years in the Industry. From that initial idea, S&S has grown and become one of the best respected small contractors in the area. We pride ourselves on customer service and Integrity.

We believe that having a simple approach in terms of single points of contact, allows our customers to build an expectation of trust and reliability in dealing with S&S. There will never be a question as to whom to speak with regarding an invoice that was incorrect, or who to talk with when you need to get someone scheduled to hook up
a Trash Compactor. It will always be the same voice you hear or the same email address in your Outlook. Although we understand that shear size and volume, sometimes necessitate having multiple people doing the same jobs, we at S&S have the luxury of being small enough to maintain a personal and trusting relationship with our customers, but large enough to accomplish most construction tasks or scopes.

  • S&S currently employs (9) nine Journeyman Electricians licensed in the State of Oregon
  • S&S currently employs (5) five Apprentice Electricians licensed in the State of Oregon
  • S&S currently employs (1) one Journeyman Limited Energy(Voice/Datacom) Electrician licensed in the State of Oregon

Management Philosophy and Approach

S&S Electrical is efficient in our approach to how we manage our projects. Our company size, (16) sixteen employees, allows us to always have a finger on the pulse of not only our employee, but also our projects and customer base. We believe that having a simple approach in terms of single points of contact, allows our customers to build an expectation of trust and reliability in dealing with S&S. There will never be a question as to whom to speak with regarding an invoice that was incorrect, or who to talk with when you need to get someone scheduled to hook up a Trash Compactor. It will always be the same voice you hear or the same email address in your Outlook. Although we understand that shear size and volume, sometimes necessitate having multiple people doing the same jobs, we at S&S have the luxury of being small enough to maintain a personal and trusting relationship with our customers, but large enough to accomplish most construction tasks or scopes.

Project Staffing

We pride ourselves on being available to our customers and developing a trust that comes from being reliable.  Our staff’s ability to buy into this philosophy is one of the reasons that our customer base has continued to grow. The personal nature in our approach has helped us to be more knowledgeable of our customers protocols and day to day procedures.  That knowledge is always a plus when it comes to organizing and completing various scopes spread across many different construction verticals.
