Armistead Mechanical, Inc.

After World War I, Robert A. Armistead began a residential plumbing and heating business in his basement and a garage behind his Jersey City home. As in many American success stories, the business quickly blossomed, and Armistead found himself doing more and more light commercial and industrial work.
His son, Robert Theodore Armistead, entered the business, which soon flourished as they began concentrating on heavier commercial and industrial construction.

By 1956, the business had burgeoned into a mid-sized mechanical construction firm doing millions of dollars of business a year. Armistead was incorporated as the Armistead Corporation, focusing almost exclusively on commercial and industrial plumbing, heating, air-conditioning and process piping.

In 1983, Robert Theodore passed away, and his sons, continued the family business.

In the early 1970's, we moved into larger offices, our secretaries used state-of-the-art electric typewriters, and estimating was done without the benefit of computerized databanks.

The past as depicted in a page from Armistead Corporations Brochure. We had 50 customers and boasted more than $3 million in commercial work.
