A Foundation of Trade Capabilities
RJ Mechanical began in 1996 as a startup mechanical contractor based on a philosophy of providing quality systems at a fair price. Over the decades, we have expanded our shop capabilities and regional footprint while maintaining the core operations that established our reputation in Minnesota and the surrounding areas.
Our business relies on a workforce of long-term employees who maintain our quality standards. By combining this trade experience with investments in automated manufacturing, we ensure that every project meets specified code requirements for safety and structural integrity.

Certified Workforce
Our field and shop workforce is highly trained through trade unions, ensuring every team member on your job site maintains the certifications required to safely and accurately complete code work.
Diverse Capabilities
We provide certified carbon steel welding, sanitary stainless piping, high-pressure steam networks, medical gas installations, industrial plumbing, and full HVAC equipment installations.
Complex Project Experience
