Brown now has 16 full-time employees, including his daughter who says that she has become well rounded and can use what she has learned from working next to her dad to provide for her and her son. Spectrum Denver General Contracting and Miramar Construction are just two of the long- standing relationships that put 3D Electric in a positive position for growth. 3D Electric landed the clients in the early 2000s and over the years the company successfully bid and completed several large projects putting the company revenue at over $3 million a year. One project that has remained close to Brown’s heart is the work they completed at Ophelia’s Electric Soapbox in Downtown Denver. From there the company has completed work on Concourse A at Denver International Airport and is currently working on the FreshLo Hub, what is slated to be a multipurpose development in the Montebello community. Brown says thanks to 3D Electric’s “excellent” staff, the company’s goal is to have a revenue between $7-$10 million within the next ten years, “If we can just keep the jobs coming in at this point it will be easy to maintain and keep growing with crew we currently have” Brown said. 3D Electric is located at 15403 E 17th Ave Ste F Aurora, CO 80011.

Reliable Electricians, flexible service, and satisfaction guaranteed is what 3D Electric prides itself on. 3D Electric is a residential and commercial wiring company that can take on a job small or large. The Aurora-based company was started in 2001 by Darnell Brown after completing an apprenticeship and working alongside his mentor Carl Hayes of Hayes Electric “I started doing small side jobs and finally got enough clients to go out on my own” Brown said. Brown will tell you that he built the company from the ground up. In the early years, Brown would personally work every job which allowed him to form long-standing relationships with his clients. Brown also credits his wife of 18 years Theresa who would often leave her full-time job to help with the company’s accounting and other administrative duties. Over time as his clientele grew, he extended opportunities to family and friends to pay it forward including the grandson of his once mentor Carl Hayes “Barry Frye is still and will always be employed with 3D Electric” Brown said. Frye and Brown spent eight years together working alongside Mr. Hayes learning the trade, but most importantly learning the value of good customer service and the importance of building trust with customers.
