About Jomar
Family-Owned. Texas-Built.
Our Story
From Two Founders to All of Texas
In 1995, Mark Lapaglia and Joseph “Pete” Peebles set out to build a company they could be proud of, one that would keep expanding its capabilities, keep developing its people, and become the best electrical contractor in Texas. Thirty years of hard work, sacrifice, and dedication later, that is still the standard.
Today more than 500 people work out of four Texas markets, wiring the schools your kids learn in, the hospitals that keep your family safe, and the buildings your team works in. We are a proud member of IEC and NFPA, and still the family-owned company our people build careers with.
1995
Founded
Mark Lapaglia and Joseph “Pete” Peebles started Jomar with one goal: build a company worth being proud of, one that keeps growing its capabilities and its people.
2016
One Owner, Same Vision
Pete Peebles retired and sold his share to his partner, Mark Lapaglia. Sole ownership did not slow anything down. Mark pushed harder.
2018
The Catalyst
Jomar won the complete electrical system for The Catalyst, a 30-story multifamily tower two blocks from what is now Daikin Park. It was the project that proved what this team could do.
2018
Houston Office
The Jomar family outgrew the Humble shop and moved into the Houston office we work out of today, with the space and resources to keep growing.
2020
Lubbock & High Voltage
On January 1, months before the pandemic, Jomar opened Lubbock and launched the High Voltage Division, building substations and servicing high-voltage systems.
Post-Pandemic
Austin Office
As the pandemic eased, Austin opened so we could follow the customers who had moved into Central Texas and take on new work there.
Soon After
Midland Office
West Texas growth created real opportunity, so ownership opened Midland. That market keeps delivering for the company and for our people.
Today
500+ People, Four Markets
One of the founders’ first goals was to serve customers across all of Texas. Today more than 500 people do exactly that, and we are still developing some of the finest electricians and leaders in the industry.
