Given the company’s notable success in recent years, ENR MidAtlantic has named JRC Mechanical its 2023 Specialty Contractor of the Year.įounded by James Richard Covington in 1990, JRC started as a small plumbing contractor in Chesapeake, adding mechanical capabilities over the years and eventually growing to a multimillion-dollar business. Along the way, the company has managed to maintain its commitment to a family-like culture and improve the well-being of its employees through an enhanced focus on safety. Last year, the company increased its regional revenue by 16.41% to $87.98 million, ranking 10th on this year’s MidAtlantic Top Specialty Contractors list.

Along the way, it has evolved from primarily a commercial and residential contractor to one with capabilities in health care, schools and government facilities. Through rapid expansion of its mechanical capabilities and the addition of a mechanical and plumbing service business, the company has emerged as one of the top firms in the Hampton Roads area. During the last decade, the Chesapeake, Va.-based firm’s revenue has grown more than tenfold. Within the regional ranks of top specialty contractors, few have matched the growth trajectory of JRC Mechanical.
