Twenty five years in the trade, and Brent Schmidt’s own number in the permit file.
Schmidt Electrical Contracting is a family owned electrical contractor working out of Albuquerque, with twenty five years of industry experience behind it. There is no photo gallery on this site because none exists to show, so what follows is the record instead: who runs the company, the licence the state has on file, and the permits pulled under it.
Brent Schmidt, and the permits that name him directly
Brent Schmidt is the owner. That much is on the company’s own contact page, but the more telling detail sits somewhere Schmidt Electrical did not write itself: the public permit record. Three separate permit descriptions for this company instruct the reviewing inspector to call Brent directly, at 505-331-1968, the same number on the company’s own site.
A contractor whose name and personal number turn up inside the paperwork of the job, rather than only in the marketing, is a fair indication of who actually shows up.
A licence checked against the state, not against what we say about ourselves
Schmidt Electrical Contracting’s own website does not publish a licence number. This one is on the record with the New Mexico Contractor Licensing Division: licence 363118, listed active, classified for residential and commercial electrical wiring at 5000 volts nominal or less. That classification covers everything from a bathroom exhaust fan circuit to a commercial LED retrofit, which is the range of work described on this site.
BuildZoom scores the company at 103, which places it in the top 10 percent of the 37,161 contractors currently licensed in New Mexico.

Thirty eight permits, and what they actually were
Public permit records show 38 permitted projects pulled under this licence across Albuquerque addresses over the past three years, split between residential and commercial work. The record is specific rather than generic: new electrical service run to existing structures, meter pedestal and panel installs, 200 amp service upgrades, grounding system upgrades, a breaker panel replaced after a bussbar meltdown, a meter re-energised after standing dead for over a year, and a dedicated 240 volt circuit built for a commercial coffee roasting machine.
On the residential side the company installs products from Square D and Lithonia Lighting.
Hours, response times and where the crew works
The office runs Monday to Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, closed Saturday and Sunday, with emergency weekend hours available outside that schedule. Calls and emails are generally returned within 24 hours, and within 3 hours if it is an emergency.
Estimates are free for residential jobs within the Albuquerque area, and commercial projects get an estimate within 48 hours. Senior citizens, veterans and first-time customers get 10 percent off. The crew covers Albuquerque, Rio Rancho, Bernalillo, Los Lunas and Bosque Farms.
