Welcome to DeJean Co.

Further to this excellent record are Three (3) consecutive years with one (1) minor OSHA recordable incident. DeJean has separated its business from competitors in areas of Safety, Productive Performance, Quality and Committed Partnerships with Customers. DeJean's performance is well within scheduled completions dates and predetermined budgets.
Contracts
DeJean services include capital lump sum and time and material as well as full time maintenance and supplementary maintenance contracts. DeJean is also well known for peak production in manufacturing facilities on a time and material basis. Current contracts are mostly time and material and cost reimbursable; however the addition of Lump Sum contracts has lead to a successful reputation that is second to none. DeJean is most comfortable with projects that do not exceed $10M in Construction Labor and Material Dollars and smaller. There has not been a project too small for DeJean to perform.
