About VCS
Built in the valley. Growing across the Southeast.
Valley Contracting Services, LLC is a general contractor headquartered in Calvert City, Kentucky, building commercial, industrial and government projects from the ground up, with an electrical division based in Knoxville, Tennessee.
Our story
Valley Contracting Services was founded in 2022, backed by 35 years of construction leadership across our leadership team. What started as a general contracting company has grown into two equal divisions: General Contracting and Electrical. Our general contracting division builds the traditional way, from the ground up, on design-build and spec projects: site development, slab, structure and finishes. We self-perform the sitework, earthwork and concrete with our own crews and equipment, and we also take on renovations and tenant buildouts.
Our Knoxville-based Electrical Division launched in January 2026 with a clear goal: to become a premier electrical contractor in the Southeast. Along with electrical construction, the division handles low voltage work, including data, voice, security and A/V systems. Together, our divisions give owners one accountable partner for the building work and the power and technology that run it.
Across both divisions, the common thread is the same: we excel at the tough, complex projects that need a different take. Whether the work is complex, high-pressure or hazardous, we find a safe way to get it done.
What we value
- Safety: planned, practiced and never traded for speed
- Integrity: clear proposals, honest schedules and doing what we say
- Craftsmanship: skilled crews and work we're proud to sign
- Relationships: long-term partners, not one-time jobs
- A different take: the toughest, most complex jobs bring out our best, and we do them safely
