About us

In 2006, Paul and Michele Stephens started Stephens Mechanical Corp. out of their home in Northern California. Paul ran the work himself and Michele did all the bookkeeping. Prior to this, Paul had overseen the Western Region of the largest non-OEM millwright contractor in the nation at the time. At the time Paul oversaw five offices including rotating equipment field and shop services, and conveyor services. Paul joined the millwrights at 18 years old and at 28 years old he moved from Southern California to Northern California to open a new office for Thomason Mechanical Corporation. At the time he left, due to a sale of the family-owned company and a differing view of customer service, the Northern California office was the dominant rotating equipment services company in the region servicing all types of industries.

Since 2006, Stephens Mechanical has specialized in field and shop services for critical engineered equipment, specifically rotating equipment. Our two offices in California allow us to mobilize tooling and manpower throughout the entire Western United States in a timely manner. We maintain contractor licenses in five states, and we have the tooling and manpower to service all types of industries. Whether it is conventional power generation, hydroelectric, geothermal, refining, or manufacturing we have the people and special tooling to service the customer.

At Stephens Mechanical we pride ourselves on the ability to find more cost-effective ways to repair or replace customers’ equipment, while never sacrificing quality. We measure our success by how many customers we can retain in the long term. We want to get our work done in the most safe and efficient manner so we can get our most quality manpower to the next projects. Our goal is to provide as many customers as possible with solutions to their problems on each piece of equipment we service.

Our management and supervision are trained to optimize the efficiency of your equipment. We take proactive steps to ensure our safety record remains an asset, and our employees go home safely every day. Our employees are trained to respect every facility they go to and to meet every demand the customer has requested. We look forward to continuing our commitment to high standards of safety and quality.
