Company Profile
Our History
David and Christine Bergmann started Laketown Electric Corporation in 1975 and is celebrating its 50th year in business. When LEC started, David performed the electrical work in the field. During that time, most of his work was conversion of apartments to condominiums in downtown Minneapolis. That work dried up in the early 1980s and Bergmann concentrated his business on commercial and industrial work. LEC was originally a union contractor. The union rejected Bergmann’s brother in 1981, so Bergmann left the union and became a merit-shop contractor.
We are known as a contractor that takes on tough projects and completes them on time and on budget. The company specializes in the construction and maintenance of healthcare facilities, commercial buildings, food processing, automation, manufacturing, education, underground projects, generators and much more. Approximately 75% of our projects are design-build.
We look forward to helping our clients achieve their goals and grow, while we aim for the same end result.
Beyond Qualified
We can compete on any project that is design-build, plan and spec, as well as those that are seeking LEED certification. Project sizes typically range from small one-hour service calls to $20+ million in per project electrical scope. We only work on commercial, industrial and healthcare projects.
