"It Was Wonderful Working With Roman"

Gary Rosploch, Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, Muskego Norway School District, was very happy with Roman’s work on the expanded and renovated Muskego High School below.

Muskego High School’s expanded facility includes a 150,000 sq. ft. addition and remodeling of the existing 300,000 sq. ft. building. The addition includes a large gymnasium, multi-level cafeteria, large auditorium and science rooms. Hunzinger Construction was the general contractor and Roman Electric installed the electrical systems. Gary Rosploch, Supervisor of Buildings and Grounds, Muskego Norway School District, was very happy with Roman’s work. "Roman redid the entire electrical infrastructure, including replacing distribution," he said. "They put in two new transformers with a larger service. We’ve got all new electrical panels, each properly identified and labeled, so we know where to go now if we have an electrical need. That’s a big plus for building operations. "One transformer serves the majority of the building while the smaller second transformer powers the theater and the arts area which have extensive sound and lighting systems. "Roman did very well. It was wonderful working with Roman Foreman Tom Hall and later on the job Project Manager Tony Tiedemann. Roman put in some nice work, they cleaned up after finishing their jobs, and they even did a lot of work off hours for us. They had second shift crews working, especially when we were in mid-construction during the Winter. They installed power, lighting and fire alarm system lines on a room-by-room basis in the rooms being remodeled to reduce disturbances to school activities. They’d complete one room each night and then move on to the next. "Roman did a very nice job on our project."

"Very Impressed!"

Mark Lillesand, project manager for general contractor CG Schmidt, was very pleased with Roman’s work. "Roman was brought in on the job early so they were an integral partner in the whole process," Mark said. "Phil Rose managed the job for Roman and Tony Foti was their foreman. They both did an excellent job." "Tony is one of the best electrical foremen there is. He was requested by our superintendent, Tom Pagel, who’s worked with Tony before and has a good relationship with him. We were fortunate Tony was available. He offered a lot of foresight, made suggestions for changes or improvements which was great to have, and he met our schedule." "The job was an extremely difficult project. Construction took place on a very small site so we had extremely tight working constraints. Roman and the material suppliers had to schedule in detail because there were limited windows for them to bring materials to the building. We didn’t have the usual spacious field office and job trailers." "Roman worked in a very safe manner which was especially important because there was a lot of downtown activity to work around. Roman’s work is one reason why things went right and we got the job done on time." "I was very impressed with Roman’s work on this project and was happy with the team we had with Phil Rose and Tony Foti. I look forward to doing the next project with them."

"Super Job"

Mike Texley, site superintendent for general contractor M.A. Mortenson Co., was very impressed with Roman's work. "Roman's people did a super job," he said. "I really appreciated their hard work and dedication. Roman's foreman Sam Kozaczok, project manager Barry Dickenson and design engineer Phil Rose were very cooperative, excellent at coordinating activities and got all the elements in place as needed. The electrical inspector said we were lucky to have an electrical foreman like Sam because of his intelligence, knowledge and desire to get things done right."

"Total Commitment"

Barry Mandel, whose Mandel Group has developed hundreds of high quality apartments, had this to say about Roman Electric's work on his elegant 109 unit Lake Bluff apartment complex overlooking the lake near downtown Milwaukee. "Roman Electric not only does excellent work, but they also recongize that customer service is an important component in a total commitment to do a professional job."

"Just A Prince!"

Burt Cohen, owner of the new 169 room Courtyard by Marriott in Downtown Milwaukee was very happy with Roman's design/build work. "Phil Rose, who served as Roman's project manager and designer on the job, was very professional and easy to work with," he said. "And Roman foreman Kevin Schlax was just a prince! His crew knew what needed to be done and did it. I'd never hesitate to use Roman on another job."

"Read Each Other's Minds"

Pat McAdams, owner of several Pick 'N Save grocery stores, likes working with Roman Electric. "This is the third time I've worked with Roman," he said about his 61,000 sq. ft. store under construction in Wales. "We can almost read each other's minds now. Roman does a great job. When we finish this store we'll build another Pick 'N Save in Sussex with help again from Roman."

"Excellent Quality"

At Gardetto Bakery, the company that grew from a small family-owned bakery to a large producer of popular snack foods, president John Gardetto likes working with Roman Electric. "Roman handles all our electrical work," he said. "We feel real comfortable with them. The quality of their workmanship and service is excellent, and their prices are fair. What more can you ask?"

"Ideal Contractor"

Describing the rush to finish the Embassy Suites Hotel on Moorland Rd. at I-94, hotel project manager Wallace Vance said, "Roman's people were here almost around the clock at the end. They're super people and impeccably honest. They handled change orders without a complaint and at reasonable cost. They literally saved us thousands of dollars finding better ways to do or redo things. It was a delightful experience working with them. I've never had a contractor as ideal to work with as Roman Electric."

"Very Good Service"

Roman Electric has wired and maintained a number of buildings for developer Trammel Crow Company. Talking about his experiences working with Roman, Fran Brzezinski, then a Trammel Crow partner, said, "The same thing we think we provide our clients, Roman Electric provides us…service. We expect contractors to work hard on the main structure of a new building. But it's often difficult to get good, quick service for tenants. That's where a contractor earns his stripes. Gerv Rose, Roman's president, served as project manager on several jobs. He's good on the base building price and service. But he's also very good on tenant service. Plus I like the guy. And you need to enjoy people you do business with."
