John Davis, Sheet Metal Mechanic, JAX Mechanical
Originally from Tampa, FL, John Davis began work as a Sheet Metal Mechanic at age 19. Employed as a dishwasher at that time, he learned he would soon be a father and needed a career to support his growing family. Given the choice, he says he would opt for the same path and truly loves what he does. When not working, John enjoys watching TV, playing on his Playstation or skating. His favorite times are spent with his family: his kids and his plus one!
If he could dine with one person (dead or alive), John would choose his birth mother. Having passed away when he was just eighteen months, he would love to have the opportunity to get to know her.
John hopes to visit Las Vegas, pulls for the Dallas Cowboys, dreams of owning a Nissan Frontier and is a lover of all things Christmas. His favorite movie is Pay It Forward. John looks forward to returning to Tampa, FL when he retires... It’s been great getting to know you, John!

2021 Expansion:
We're growing! Baton Rouge, Louisiana, will be JAX Mechanical Service's next new service area. This will allow us to link the entire I-10 corridor from Jacksonville, Florida to Texas. We have commitments from our current customer base who welcome our expansion. They will be able to utilize our expertise to service their current customer base. Our customers have made requests and we've done our best to listen and respond to their needs.
Texas ship yards:
We are currently working on a rollout to approach the shipyards from Galveston, TX to Tampa, FL. This approach would include servicing the equipment at the yards, as well as the dredges and some ships. Our team will be traveling to Galveston and along the coast to meet facility leaders of the yards face-to-face. Ingalls Shipyard in Pascagoula, MS is a huge ship builder in the gulf and remains at the top of companies to contact. We will be utilizing the same approach used for our clients Great Lakes Dredge and the North Florida Ship yards. For over two years JAX Mechanical Service has been the official HVAC/R service provider for both of these companies and we will enter the gulf and Tampa markets with high recommendations from them.
JAX Mechanical Service – (904) 435-9010.
You can expect the best from our well-trained and COVID-19 ready technicians.
