Our Family Story
Proudly serving Northern Virginia since 1996 with integrity, expertise, and a heart for our community.
Founders John Long (Left) and Matt Long (Right)
More Than Just Electricians
AJ Long Electric was founded in 1996 by John Long, born from a deeply personal need: ensuring stability for his family when his daughter required specialized medical care. That founding principle—treating every customer like family, delivering honest quality work at fair prices, and building something lasting—has guided every decision since.
What started as a one-man operation has grown into Northern Virginia's premier electrical service provider with over 150,000 projects completed. In 2019, John's son Matt rejoined the family business, bringing technology and business expertise while preserving the core values his father established. Together, they combine 40+ years of master craftsmanship with modern innovation.
