Prime Quality Electric, LLC

10/06/2026

Every company has people who make it run who aren't on the payroll. For Prime Quality Electric, one of those people is Terry Smutz.

We've known Terry going on 20 years. We first met him when he was the maintenance man at Maple Towers, and he's been a great friend of PQE ever since.

Everybody likes Terry. That's just the truth.

He takes care of all of our scrap recycling — and that's no small thing. It keeps tons of material out of the landfills, year after year. And any time the team needs a hand, Terry's the guy who steps up: running an errand, picking up equipment, grabbing materials so a crew can keep moving.

He does it because that's who he is. He gives.

Terry, thank you for always lending us a hand. We need it, we notice it, and we're grateful for it.

Twenty years of friendship, and we're just getting started.

PQE core value “Accept Accountability”. Actions, mistakes, opportunities, wins. We take ownership and are accountable. ⚡️🇺🇸

Today, Prime Quality Electric started a new tradition.

The PQE Challenge Coin.

A challenge coin isn't handed out. It's earned. It's a physical mark of a standard met — something you can hold in your hand that says you did the hard thing when the easy thing was right there.

Our first coin honors the Master Electrician.

In Michigan, you don't need a master's license to work for a contractor. It's an extra step. More study, more time, another exam standing between you and a level of respect the trade doesn't hand out for free. A man chooses to earn it. Nobody makes him.

Two men at PQE have.

Aaron Tappenden earned his master's nearly two decades ago and has been a cornerstone of this company ever since. Charles Hanshaw just passed his exam — the newest master in the building.

One face of the coin says who we are: Built on Trust. Earned by Excellence. The other carries our core values, ringed around the words Master Electrician.

That's not decoration. That's the whole point. The license makes you a master of the code. The values make you a man worth following.

Congratulations, Aaron and Charles. You've earned it.

Material control

24 years ago, material was easy at PQE. Order it. Install it. One job at a time, daily. Go to the supply house pick it up, go to the job - execute.

Roll forward, now it’s 7-8 jobs a day. Small jobs, large jobs, emergency jobs.

Ordered material for delivery, freighted material, same day pick up material. Multiple suppliers.

Tracking material, back ordered material, van/trailer stock material, warehouse material. Staging material. Returning material.

Accuracy is critical to ex*****on

Communication is critical to operations

Material has become its own operation inside of PQE. Material truly needed “Controlled”.

It’s moments like these when I realize “Wow” look at what we built. It’s like Ferris Bueller say “ if you don’t stop and look around life might just pass you by”

I get laser focused on where I want to go with the company that most of the time, I forget how far we have come.

I’m blessed for what we built and at the same time I know that we will build/grow more. 🙏
