Allen’s Tri-State Mechanical Inc., established in 1946 by Howard C. Allen, is a prominent mechanical service and repair contractor headquartered in Amarillo, Texas. Initially named Allen’s Plumbing Company, the business began with a single employee and a Chevy panel van, operating under the motto "No job too large, or too small." Over the years, the company has expanded significantly, capitalizing on the growth of Amarillo and the surrounding Texas Panhandle area, particularly as industries such as beef packing emerged.
Throughout the 1960s and 1970s, Allen’s diversified its services, transitioning into a full-service entity with a focus on commercial offerings. The company embraced technological advancements, introducing innovative industrial equipment like pump trucks and high-pressure washer vehicles to enhance its service capabilities. By 1971, the business rebranded to Allen’s Tri-State Mechanical Inc. and moved to a larger facility, boasting over 15 employees and 25 service vehicles.
Today, Allen’s is heralded as one of the largest mechanical service providers in the region, employing over 60 skilled professionals and maintaining a fleet of more than 50 service vehicles. The company excels in a variety of services, including plumbing, HVAC/R, boilers, chillers, and water treatment systems. Additionally, they offer specialized services such as hydro-excavation, high-volume pumping, and commercial cooking equipment repair.
Allen’s commitment to quality workmanship and customer satisfaction has solidified its reputation as the only full-service mechanical company in Amarillo since 1946. The foundation of the company's values is integrity and respect for their customers, as emphasized by Howard C. Allen himself, who served as an integral part of the company until his passing in 2016 at the age of 89. Allen’s Tri-State Mechanical Inc. continues to uphold the legacy of its founder through dedication to service excellence and community engagement.
