Company Description:
Shapiro and Duncan is the culmination of three generations of plumbers and mechanical contractors. In the mid-30's Jake Shapiro started J. Shapiro Plumbing & Heating in Washington, D.C. After Jake retired, his son, David, a mechanical engineer, organized a merit shop mechanical contracting company in 1976, known as Shapiro & Duncan, Inc. David continued to develop his father's work ethic that focused on excellence in performance. Requiring a commitment from all employees to provide each client with superior service and high quality work, Shapiro & Duncan quickly became known as offering its customers the best mechanical value in the area.
From the start, Shapiro & Duncan built a solid reputation in complex and demanding renovation projects. In the early 90's, David passed the torch to his sons, Jerry and Sheldon, both graduate engineers from the University of Maryland. They quickly brought the firm into the new millennium by developing a thorough and professional approach to mechanical contracting. They sought, hired and developed a team of the most talented and knowledgeable professionals in the industry, then trained and equipped them with the latest in computer hardware, software, tools, and equipment. Under their guidance, Shapiro & Duncan continued to complete the same varied projects, but significantly increased the volume of work and project size, and added new construction, office buildings, government, and industrial development projects to its portfolio.
Today, Shapiro & Duncan has successfully completed nearly 2,000 projects. Our main office in Rockville houses our management (including IT, purchasing, education, safety, accounting and human resources) and construction groups (estimators, project managers and support personnel), and our service department and design-build teams. In Beltsville, we have our fully staffed and equipped fabrication shop.
During our long history spanning more than three generations, Shapiro & Duncan has attained an unrivaled reputation for superior performance on any type of commercial mechanical project. We continue to be the "Mechanical Contractor of Choice" for schools, commercial and government buildings, and the preferred contractor for complex projects, especially for those that require demanding performance or unusual time constraints. We are living proof that our reputation is built from our people and their performance. Project after project, over and over, "Our People Perform."
