HEI was founded by Forrest W. Hamilton, III in 1983. HEI has always been committed to bringing its customers the best product at the most competitive price. With over 19 years of experience, we know what it takes to get the job done and we always look for ways to improve our work.

Mr. Hamilton is a lifelong resident of James City County. He built HEI from nothing into the multi-million dollar company it is today. If you ask him the formula for HEI's success he will tell you it is a combination of enjoying what you do, being committed to doing your best and employing good people. He takes pride in the fact that over 40% of HEI's employees have been with the company for 5 years or more.
