In 1964, Lee Merlo started LSM, envisioning a company that puts its customers first. This focus on high-quality products and services guided our business for the past 50 years and continues to lead our choices to this day.

From our residential, commercial, and industrial services to our powder coating, manufacturing, and cogeneration projects, we start every job focusing on providing the highest quality work to Grande Prairie and all of northwestern Alberta. This includes the entire Peace Region: Peace River, Fort St. John, Grande Cache, and all the communities between.

Choosing LSM means you receive a commitment to quality, one we’ve backed by over 50 years in the community.

LSM HISTORY

LSM was started by Lee Merlo in 1964. At this time, we had a 2,000 square foot shop, four employees, and two departments: residential and commercial HVAC. The city of Grande Prairie itself was home to about 8,000 people.

We started with a dream of creating quality work for that community of 8,000. Lee believed that businesses had a responsibility to care for its community and their needs. Among many things, these core beliefs helped us grow.

A LOOK AT THE PRESENT

Now, LSM is divided into six divisions: commercial, industrial, residential service, manufactured products, powder coating, and energy solutions. We recently celebrated our 50th anniversary and our buildings and staff have grown substantially.

For all that’s changed in the past 50 years, our core has remained: quality proven over time. This quality extends beyond our work and our projects. It extends into the support we give our community and the return we get from that same community.
