Colvico Inc.

Public work makes up a large share of the record. Since 2001 Colvico has filed on projects for the City of Spokane, Avista, the Washington State Department of Transportation, Spokane International Airport, Spokane Transit Authority, Spokane Public Schools and Spokane County, usually as a subcontractor. Recent permits lean heavily toward EV chargers paired with new services, from 200-amp up to 1200-amp, plus trenching for bus chargers in Spokane Valley, pedestrian push buttons and flashing beacons, and a hangar electrical rehab. The company advertises airport runway lighting, trenching and concrete, and keeps its own backhoes, bucket trucks and line-auger rigs. It describes itself as a union, family-owned contractor. The state lists Cory Colvin, Jesse Dragoo and Michael Kelly as principals. The fit is clearest on commercial and municipal jobs: a parking lot that needs lighting, a fleet or property owner adding EV chargers, an industrial site that needs conduit and duct bank in the ground. Residential work does show up, including a hot tub and sauna hookup in Spokane Valley and new services with chargers, but a small kitchen remodel or a single outlet is a better match for a smaller shop. Crews work weekdays, so jobs that have to happen on weekends are a poor fit. Before an electrical job starts, get the scope in writing: the service size, where trenching runs and who restores the lawn, asphalt or concrete afterward. Spokane's frozen ground in winter can push trench work around, so ask how weather affects the schedule. Ask how change orders are priced and approved, since buried utilities and older panels in Spokane's housing stock often turn up surprises. Confirm who pulls the electrical permit and schedules the inspection, and ask what warranty covers both the labor and the equipment, especially for EV chargers, where the manufacturer and installer may cover different parts.
