Joseph J. Perreca founded Perreca Electric Co., Inc. in 1949 after completing his service in World War II as a radio technician in the Merchant Marine. At that time Newburgh, N.Y. had a thriving needle trade industry, and Joe started out fixing sewing machinery and performing electrical work out of the back of his car.

Over the years, Joe became very successful, and used to do a million dollars per year in sales - back when a million dollars in electrical work was a lot of money!

 

In 1983 Charles C. Tallardy, III purchased the company and immediately brought in a top management team and started to expand the company.

 

Today, Perreca Electric Co., Inc. has grown to a  million per year full service electrical and technology contractor. We are a quality and safety oriented contractor, employing highly trained workers as necessary to insure smooth completion of any project. This has enabled us to provide prompt, professional service to commercial, industrial, and institutional clients since 1949.

Our Company attitude, unusual in the construction business, places short-term profit in a position secondary to long-term growth. Perreca Electric Company's financial strength allows our company to produce consistently high quality workmanship, because we do not have the "do or die" attitude associated with job profit. We have never sacrificed job quality for the "fast buck" so often associated with the contracting business, and never will.

 

Perreca Electric Co., Inc. consistently strives to be the premier professional electrical and technical contractor in the Hudson Valley region of New York State. We are dedicated to provide our clients with "market driven quality" which should result in satisfied clients and continuing relationships.

 

Through a partnership of our trained, dedicated, modern workforce and our skilled supervisors and managers, we use the most modern technology to provide our clients with the highest quality product delivered on time and in a safe working environment
