Skymont Contractors

THE JOURNEY BEGINS

In August 2023, Skymont Contractors, under the visionary leadership of Ben Cohen, Alec Sbabo, and operational expertise of Cody Wall, embarked on a journey to revolutionize fiber installation in the the underground industry. With a clear focus and the right partnerships, they’ve rapidly established themselves as a leading force.

SPECIALIZATION AND RELATIONSHIPS

Skymont Contractors stands out in a saturated market through its focus on fiber installation, particularly targeting the rock side of the industry, which is something many companies don’t focus on or are set up to tackle. This specialization is backed by a solid relationship with Vermeer Midwest, where they are not just clients but partners in growth. The availability of the HDD Specialist, Doug Hicks, who is ready to assist at any hour, is a testament to the commitment Vermeer Midwest has towards Skymont Contractors’ success.

RELIABILITY AND SUPPORT

A team of 16 dedicated professionals is the backbone of Skymont Contractos. Their commitment is matched by the reliability and performance of the equipment they use, primarily the Vermeer Horizontal Directional Drills and DCI locators, which have exceeded expectations in durability and efficiency. Skymont Contractors operates a D20x22 and two D23x30DR rock drills. Their choice of Vermeer over other competitors was influenced by availability, customer experience, and the unparalleled service.

The decision to purchase equipment from Vermeer Midwest was also influenced by the Confidence Plus Premium Program. Knowing that they could rely on comprehensive service coverage, especially in rural areas, allowed Skymont Contractors to operate with the assurance that they would always be up and running. 

GROWTH

Skymont Contractors’ ambition stretches beyond Missouri, aiming for a nationwide presence in the future. A significant step towards this goal is the Branson, MO project, where they are serving as the sole contractor, handling all underground installations in the area. This project is not just a contract; it’s a showcase of Skymont Contractors’ capability and commitment to bringing fiber to communities. Skymont Contractors is more than just a company; it’s a testament to what can be achieved with the right team, technology, and partners.
