Client

Standard Plumbing & Heating Co.

Challenge

Standard Plumbing & Heating, in business for over a century, specializes in installation and service of commercial and industrial HVAC systems, piping and plumbing and full-service boiler and chiller work.

Need

Standard installs large chillers and indoor air-handling equipment, often relying on CEI for rooftop lifts. CEI Crane & Rigging transports the equipment, lifts it to the roof, and precisely positions it for installation.

Result

CEI Crane & Rigging has been a trusted partner of Standard Plumbing & Heating since before the late 1970s, supporting rooftop equipment installations with reliable transport, precise lifts, and accurate placement. Known for trust and consistency, CEI is the go-to provider for projects within scope, with the assurance that the awarded bid price is the final cost.
“Whenever we have bigger jobs, we are going to contact CEI Crane & Rigging.”

As President of Standard Plumbing and Heating and someone who has been involved with the business since the late 1970s, Dave Grabowsky might be expected to remember when his company first worked with CEI Crane and Rigging. In reality, the relationship goes back even further than his own tenure. Over the years, CEI has become a trusted partner whenever larger jobs arise. Grabowsky explains that when work needs to be scheduled, his team knows they can rely on CEI to handle it, valuing both their reliability and the familiarity that comes with working with a family owned and operated company.

Grabowsky understands the scope of CEI Crane and Rigging’s capabilities and is clear about where they fit best. While some projects require equipment beyond their range, any job within their scope is given serious consideration because of the quality of work they consistently deliver. Just as important is the confidence he has in their pricing. Unlike other suppliers where minor changes can lead to unexpected costs, CEI stands by their bids and focuses on getting the job done without adding unnecessary charges.

The relationship extends beyond the job site, rooted in shared community ties. Both Grabowsky and CEI Crane and Rigging President Brian Selinsky are lifetime Canton residents, and that connection was especially meaningful during work at the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Selinsky’s personal involvement on site reflected the pride CEI takes in their work. For Grabowsky, the result is a partnership built on trust, reliability, and ease of collaboration, one he has recommended in the past and continues to recommend today.
