From Jacksonville to New England: Mark Asselin on Expanding Performance Electrical Across State Lines
What if the key to scaling a contracting business wasn’t staying local—but mastering licensing, relationships, and regional growth?
In this episode of Builder Buzz by Home Nation, host Quinton Comino sits down with Mark Asselin, President & CEO of Performance Electrical Contracting Inc. Based in Jacksonville, Florida, Mark has grown his company beyond state borders, doubling his workforce in 2025, securing licenses across the Southeast, and even tackling a $2.5 million project in Maine.
Mark explains how licensing reciprocity in Georgia opened doors across multiple states, why partnerships often make or break projects, and how competing with hedge-fund-backed giants requires a focus on integrity, fair pay, and strong relationships. From coordinating crews across regions to balancing risk with opportunity, Mark shares the lessons that have fueled his company’s growth.
With decades of experience as a Florida State Certified Contractor and Licensed Master Electrician, Mark reveals the real-world challenges of managing multi-state jobs, navigating regulations, and leading a team that’s built on trust and professionalism.
