Empowering Women in Construction—Every Day
At Lee Mechanical, we know that success in construction isn’t just about the work done on the job site. It’s about the dedication, expertise, and teamwork that happens behind the scenes as well. Our service department, accounting team, and marketing professionals are just as critical to our success as those out in the field.
We’re proud to support and uplift women in construction—not just for one week, but all year long.
