At the company's inception, the primary focus of electrical work at Quality Electric was centered around residential electrical work, including single-family dwellings and multi-family dwellings. All phases of electrical work, inclusive of low voltage telephone and cable installation, were undertaken. The customer base grew by word of mouth and Quality Electric's marketing efforts directed towards town developers, builders, and through Dodge report publication.
Within this decade, Quality Electric expanded its projects to include large additions, single-family homes, multi-family buildings, small office spaces, and other endeavors. Building relationships with builders and General Contractors, Quality Electric achieved a breakthrough in 1988 by securing its first commercial project, the Madison Hotel Atrium building in Madison, NJ. This marked the beginning of larger and more complex projects for the company.
