Industries

Dean Brothers Inc. provides services to industrial and commercial facilities across the Shenandoah Valley and beyond, serving the industries that keep Virginia and West Virginia running. Our qualified team brings decades of experience to new construction, service calls, and the specialized work each industry requires.

Work on a school campus has to fit around the school day. Our crews have done that for Rockingham County Schools for years, at Broadway High School and elementary schools across the county. Electrical, telecommunications, security, and controls work can all come from one contractor, so the district has fewer hand-offs and one team accountable for the finished building.

  • New construction, renovations, and additions on active campuses
  • Power distribution, lighting, and LED retrofits
  • Structured cabling and fiber optic networks
  • Access control and security camera systems
  • Maintenance plans and 24/7 emergency service

Secure sites and public facilities come with strict licensing, safety, and security requirements. We hold a Virginia Class "A" contractor license and a West Virginia Unlimited Class electrical license, and every member of our team is ISN Safety trained. Electrical, medium voltage, controls, telecommunications, and security work can all be handled by our divisions on the same project.

Hospitals, clinics, and senior living communities stay open to patients and residents while the work is underway. Our team has completed projects for Sentara and Bridgewater Retirement Community, and our divisions cover the electrical, cabling, access control, and controls work these buildings run on. Once a project is finished, our service team is available 24/7 for repairs and emergencies.

Our first technically demanding job, back in the late 1980s, was automating two pellet mills for Wampler Foods. Today we support manufacturers like Hershey with electrical installations, UL508A control panels and PLC programming, medium voltage gear, and custom fabrication from our own shop. Every member of our team is ISN Safety trained, with experience in food-grade environments.

  • Equipment installation, start-up, and troubleshooting
  • UL508A control panels and PLC/HMI programming
  • Medium voltage gear, transformers, and terminations
  • Food grade designed conduit racks and custom fabrication

Power distribution at this level leaves no room for shortcuts. Our Medium Voltage Division is certified for work up to 35kV and handles gear installation, testing, and troubleshooting, while our electrical, controls, and fabrication teams support the rest of the system on the same job.

  • Medium voltage work rated up to 35kV
  • Gear and transformer installation
  • Terminations, splicing, and cable testing
  • Ground fault troubleshooting and gear cleaning
  • Power distribution engineering and design-build

Warehouses and distribution centers often run around the clock, and their power, lighting, and network systems carry that load every day. Our team handles new buildings and expansions, LED lighting retrofits, equipment installation, structured cabling, and security, and our service team is on call 24/7 when something goes down.

  • Power distribution for new buildings and expansions

Hotel projects move on tight schedules with a lot of trades in the building at once. Our portfolio includes the Marriott Residence Inn and Courtyard in Harrisonburg and the Hilton Garden Inn in Falls Church. Today our divisions can bring power, lighting, structured cabling, and security to a hospitality project through a single contractor.

  • New construction for hotels, restaurants, and venues

Labs and technology-driven facilities depend on reliable power, organized cabling, and systems that are tested before they go live. Our Telecommunications Division brings BICSI certified technicians and fiber testing with detailed reports, and our electrical and controls teams handle the power, instrumentation, and calibration these spaces need.

  • Structured cabling by BICSI certified technicians
  • Singlemode and multimode fiber with testing and certification
  • Electrical systems for labs and specialized spaces
