About
Lee Company began in 1944 when Leon Lee opened a small operation in Tennessee. Eight decades later it operates as a $300 million regional firm with roughly 1,500 employees serving Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky. The Madison Alabama branch on State Highway 20 dispatches into Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley as part of the broader four-state footprint.
Electrical work covers residential and commercial — from outlet and switch service to panel upgrades, generator installation, lighting design, and building-wide electrical for commercial clients in healthcare, government, and industrial sectors. The same Madison branch fields HVAC and plumbing technicians, which is useful for buildings where the trades regularly intersect.
The Madison office runs 24/7. Dispatch line: (256) 353-1500.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Lee Company still family-owned at $300M revenue?
Lee Company is structured as an employee-driven firm rather than a private-equity-owned operation, with continuity of the original family connection from founder Leon Lee. At $300 million in annual revenue and roughly 1,500 employees, the firm is large by trades standards but maintains internal training programs that mirror smaller family shops.
What kinds of commercial electrical does Lee Company handle?
Lee Company's commercial electrical work covers healthcare facilities, government buildings, institutional clients, and industrial operations across Huntsville and the broader Tennessee Valley. The scope ranges from routine maintenance contracts to ground-up electrical for new construction, which is enabled by the firm's larger crew size.
Does Lee Company offer 24/7 service in Madison?
Lee Company's Madison branch at 15050 State Highway 20 operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week. After-hours dispatch covers electrical, plumbing, and HVAC emergencies across Huntsville and Madison. Routine service is scheduled during normal business hours when not urgent.
Why use a four-state firm for a Huntsville electrical job?
Lee Company brings the resource depth of a four-state operation — including the trade specialists, equipment, and 24/7 staffing that smaller local shops can't always provide. The trade-off versus a small local electrician is typically pricing structure, where the larger firm's overhead translates to higher diagnostic fees.
Does Lee Company install generators in Huntsville?
Lee Company handles whole-home and commercial generator installation including the gas line connection, electrical transfer switch, and pad work. Because the firm carries plumbing, electrical, and HVAC licenses, generator installs are coordinated within one company rather than across multiple subcontractors.
Where else does Lee Company operate?
Lee Company headquartered in Tennessee operates branches across Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and Kentucky. The Madison Alabama branch on State Highway 20 covers Huntsville and the Tennessee Valley. Cross-state service is unusual for a residential-focused trades company and reflects the firm's larger scale.
