Shafer Mechanical is proud to announce an important step forward in the continued growth of our Commercial division. Please join us in welcoming Bobby Vaden as our new Commercial Construction Supervisor as we officially expand into Commercial New Construction.
17 Years of Texas Commercial Construction Experience
Bobby brings 17 years of commercial construction experience across Texas. Throughout his career, he has seen firsthand what separates average projects from successful, long-term partnerships.
What stood out most in our conversations was his perspective on service.
Anyone can install equipment. Not everyone installs it correctly the first time with long-term performance and serviceability in mind. Bobby believes, as we do, that the backbone of a strong commercial construction company is its service team. When systems are set up properly from day one, clients avoid unnecessary callbacks, downtime, and operational disruptions.
That philosophy aligns directly with how Shafer Mechanical operates.
A Service-First Model That Sets Us Apart
Shafer Mechanical was built on a service-first model. We are more communicative, more responsive, and focused on long-term partnership with our general contractors, developers, and owners.
What sets us apart from much of the local competition is the strength of our technical service team. We have one of the strongest commercial HVAC and plumbing service teams in the region backing the equipment we install. That means our construction projects are supported by experienced technicians who understand long-term maintenance, performance optimization, and operational reliability.
In addition to our service strength, we offer:
- Design build capabilities that many local competitors do not provide
- Deep technical expertise across complex commercial systems
- A partnership approach focused on long-term performance, not just project turnover
Local Leadership. Faster Response. Better Partnership.
Unlike many national competitors, Shafer Mechanical is proudly local. Our leadership and operations teams are based right here in San Antonio and we’ve recently opened a new location in Austin, TX.
That matters.
Being local allows us to move quickly, respond to client needs without layers of corporate delay, and understand the specific demands of the South Texas commercial market. From scheduling coordination to field decisions, our team is accessible and accountable.
Building Commercial New Construction the Right Way
The launch of our Commercial New Construction division represents a natural evolution for Shafer Mechanical. With Bobby’s leadership and our service-backed foundation, we are positioned to deliver projects that are:
- Installed correctly the first time
- Designed with long-term service in mind
- Supported by the strongest technical team in the market
- Backed by responsive, high-level customer service
Our goal is not simply to build systems. It is to build reliable mechanical infrastructure that supports operational uptime, safety, and long-term performance for our clients.
We are excited about what this next chapter means for our partners and the San Antonio commercial community.
