Our Story
Providing superior service to the community since 1985, Scott Electric has taken on projects big and small in Columbia and mid-Missouri, as well as Illinois and Kansas. The family-owned and -operated business is known for its honest, professional and dependable electrical contract work in residential and commercial spaces.
Scott Electric is owned and operated by Adam Scott, son of the business’ founder, Bob Scott. Scott learned the trade from his father at a young age, beginning an informal apprenticeship at 12 years old. Now, he has over 20 years of experience and knowledge that he’s been able to impart to his employees and clients.
“We pride ourselves in transparency, clear communication and a customer-centric approach that each project is completed to the highest standards,” Scott says.
To pass on this knowledge and approach more formally, the company established an accredited apprenticeship this past year through the Independent Electrical Contractors of the Greater St. Louis Area. The program provides classroom instruction with hands-on experience, allowing for comprehensive education and top-quality workmanship. This apprenticeship provides opportunities for future electricians in the Columbia area through learning and elevating industry standards.
“I see our company setting a higher standard for other contractors in our field.”
“I see our company setting a higher standard for other contractors in our field,” Scott says. “Through our commitment to excellence, education and community involvement, we strive to leave a lasting impact, fostering a new generation of skilled electricians who embody our values and continue to drive innovation and quality in the electrical industry.”
Years before building the apprenticeship certification at the company, Scott became a renowned electrician as a licensed master electrician in Missouri, Illinois and Kansas. Additionally, he helped build electrical substations for power companies across the United States as a licensed substation electrician.
The Scott family believes serving the community is a privilege. In his free time, Scott serves as vice president of the Senior Housing Board. He is also on the Fair Board and is a member of the Lions Club. His wife, Lacy, volunteers her time as secretary of the Prairie Home Pool Board and as a member of the Boonville Women’s Club. With this commitment to service, it comes as no surprise that Scott focuses on serving the community as much as possible in his business too.
