Our History
Our Beginnings

Gumpher Electrical Service began as a small, neighborhood operation. As a guy-in-a-van operation, co-owners Lori and David Gumpher Sr. built a reputation for reliable, high-quality electrical work. At the heart of the business was a dedication to delivering dependable service and building long-lasting relationships.
Early Growth

This expansion provided the space and resources needed to better serve customers and continue scaling operations.
