“We use a lot of the same subcontractors,” Jeff says. “We try to keep it local and independent. We don’t want to take business away from the little guy. It’s sometimes a bit more expensive, but you get a superior, professional result.” In general, CEE Elevator Service is unapologetic about paying what it takes for quality and reliability. “We would rather pay a little more for someone we know will show up and do the job right,” Jeff says. “If you jump around trying to save a dollar, you’ll pay for it in lost time. And in this business, time is money.” Jeff likens the company’s subcontractor relationships to an extended family. “It’s like having cousins,” he says with a laugh. “They might not live in your house, but you know them, you trust them, and when you get together, you just pick up where you left off.” Internally, that family spirit is just as strong. With a combined office staff and field mechanics of about 40, CEE fosters a culture of respect, collaboration, and loyalty. “We’re a small, independent, familyowned company,” Jeff says. “And we treat our people that way. Over half of CEE’s employees have been here for 10 plus years. Others have come from other companies because they wanted that family atmosphere again – the kind of culture where the customer comes first, and relationships matter.” CEE Elevator Service doesn’t chase awards or flashy recognition. In fact, the company rarely applies for them – their reward comes from the trust of satisfied clients and the continuity of repeat GAL CANADA, A VANTAGE COMPANY, PROVIDED NONPROPRIETARY ELEVATOR SOLUTIONS: EVERYTHING FROM ELEVATOR COMPONENTS TO MODERNIZATION PACKAGES, INCLUDING FULL TECHNICAL SUPPORT.
