Since 2012, family-owned and operated Spoor Electric has been a proud trade partner of JPI and provided electrical services to a variety of JPI communities in DFW. Started in 1998 by Mike and Susan Spoor, the company specializes in multifamily electrical work, with a portfolio of over 25,000 completed units. To JPI, Spoor has contributed service on 6,300 units, with 1,200 currently in the pipeline.  

Spoor Electric prides itself on its deep-seeded family values and commitment to quality. In an industry characterized by fast pace and high turnover, Spoor prioritizes experience – for employees, customers, and, ultimately, residents.  

“Maintaining quality with efficiency is a juggling act because everybody wants to go,” said Clayton Spoor, President of Spoor Electric. “You’ve got investors, contractors, other subcontractors – everyone wants to move forward. But you have to remember that this is a home. Someone’s going to live here.” 

Having strong relationships with our trade partners is critical to JPI’s operation. Interestingly, Spoor Electric’s relationship with JPI predates the formal establishment of either company: before Mike and Susan Spoor founded Spoor Electric, Mike’s father Charles owned his own electric company. That company worked on many projects for JPI in the late 80s – before JPI was even JPI!  

After a decade (and more) of partnership, the Spoor Electric team has become an indispensable part of the JPI community. Working together, both companies have built a stronger sense of home for DFW residents.  

“JPI was the first to call a subcontractor a trade partner,” Clayton said. “It makes you feel like you’re really doing something together. This is a hard business to be in; when companies like JPI treat you like you’re on their team, it makes it easier.”

During the construction process, there is no shortage of moving parts: schedules, supplies, contractors, customers – there is an endless flow of work to be done and tasks to complete. To turn chaos into checkpoints, JPI is reliant on the support of all its personnel – particularly, its trade partners.  

A key relationship throughout the past few years of JPI’s operation has been with High Tech Low Volts. Since 2013, High Tech Low Volts has been providing multifamily communities in DFW with a multitude of low-voltage services, such as fire alarms, access controls, and audio installations. JPI began its relationship with HTLV in 2016 in Dallas – in the following years, HTLV has provided low-voltage services on most JPI projects.  

“The team at JPI has taught us a lot,” said Josh McCusker, Managing Partner at HTLV. “JPI is a name that every other builder and developer in DFW knows. It’s been a huge learning experience.” 

The construction of South Side Flats was High Tech Low Volts’ first experience working with an established general contractor; since then, High Tech Low Volts has expanded considerably to 40 employees, and now serves additional markets including Austin, Houston and Oklahoma. According to the company’s stewards, this success comes from outlook, not just operations: 

“Compared to other contractors,” said McCusker, “we’re using the same materials, working the same timeline, and often pulling from the same labor force. The only different thing that we can offer is our attitude toward our customers – the willingness to show up for them.” 

Like JPI, High Tech Low Volts bases its operations on clear, people-focused principles. Balancing the needs of customers and employees, and ensuring the satisfaction of both parties, is the constant goal: 

 “The foundation of High Tech Low Volts is that we build relationships,” said founder and Director of Operations Brandon Zimmerman. “We’re not just here to do a job – we want our contractors to be happy with our work, and we want our team to be happy working for us.”
