Tuckey Mechanical Services, Inc.

Originating in 1968, the company was known as Frank Black Mechanical Services. The role of the company was to be a service company for plumbing, heating, and air conditioning primarily for the residential market. In 1981, the evolution of the company continued as Denver Tuckey purchased the company and it became known as Mechanical Services. The focus of the company continued with the service driven focus it had maintained since its conception in 1968.

In 1984, Mechanical Services was purchased by Denver's oldest son, Kenneth Tuckey, who incorporated it as Tuckey Mechanical Services, Inc. Growth became rampant and expansion kept pace as Commercial and Industrial Departments were added. The Service Department also expanded its scope of service by providing Preventive Maintenance Programs.

As the evolution Tuckey Mechanical Services, Inc. continues, a single focus is never lost: customer service. Today, projects completed by Tuckey's can be found across Central Pennsylvania in both the Residential and Commercial markets. Some notable projects include: the Milton Hershey Schools, Cumberland County Prison, Sarah Todd Nursing Home, Cumberland County Courthouse, and the Perry County Courthouse.

In 1978, Kenneth Tuckey started the company currently known as Tuckey Metal Fabricators, Inc. Three years later, Mr. Tuckey purchased L.B. Sheet Metal, merging the two into a single company and diversified the services provided to include original equipment manufacturing (OEM), fabrication of pollution control equipment, handrails, jail cells, and a variety of unique custom designs and fabrications. The expansion of services paralleled the continual growth of the Tuckey's ductwork manufacturing for the HVAC industry.

In the early 90's, Tuckeys added a high definition plasma cutting machine. Using computer aided technology, the machine allowed the company to produce highly defined pieces while reducing waste and dramatically increasing efficiency.

Today, the results of Tuckey Metal Fabricators, Inc. quality workmanship can be seen across the country in a vast array of custom fabrications.

Tuckey Restoration, Inc.

In the early 90's, due to the quality reputation built by Tuckey Mechanical Services, Inc. and Tuckey Metal Fabricators, Inc., Tuckeys was contacted by local community leaders who identified a need for emergency repair for fire and water damaged property. Subsequently, Tuckey Restoration, Inc. was started in 1992 as a division of Tuckey Mechanical Services, Inc. Responding to rapid growth, the restoration group branched off from its parent company and was incorporated in 1995. The work performed included emergency board up - clean up - restoration - and reconstruction services after fires, water damage, and small general construction projects.
