We service and provide our expertise to a wide array of customers, including pulp and paper mills, general contractors, the refining industry, commercial facilities, and semi-conductor manufacturers. Rather than placing our focus on a particular market, we strive to learn what it is our customers need and want, and tailor our services accordingly. No project is too small or too large for E.J. Bartells. By utilizing local union insulators, with at least 4 years of apprenticeship training to perform our work, E.J. Bartells guarantees that our customer is provided with a skilled and experienced work force no matter what the nature of the project may be. This ensures a project safely completed on time and a job done correctly the first time.
