CDE Electrical Contracting

Our History:

CDE Electrical Contracting was started in 1993 by Kevin Coffey and Mark Dege. Before going into business together, they both worked at Union Electric Co. The idea was to open a small electrical contracting company and do most of the field work themselves.

Within just a few months, it became apparent that this company was going places. Word soon got around about CDE's attention to quality and detail. It wasn't long before Kevin and Mark had more work than they ever dreamed about. 

The Present:

Currently, CDE Electrical Contracting employs approximately 40 men and women. We are working on projects all over the southeast portion of Tennessee. We routinely have projects going in Nashville, Lenoir City, Chattanooga, Knoxville, Sevierville and Maryville. 

Our Future:

CDE and it's Management staff will strive to grow this company in new directions. We will continue to embrace new technologies, as this is our future as well as yours. We are committed to developing mutually positive relationships with new customers in all areas of our field. We will continue to place customer satisfaction as our first and foremost goal.
