Workwear for crews that are the company's only advertisement
A crew in matching hi-vis with the logo across the back is the best sign a contractor owns: it drives around all day, stands in the customer's yard, and shows up in the neighbor's photo. Company Promo Apparel, a Strive-To-Be company in Delaware, Ohio, outfits HVAC, plumbing, electrical, roofing, landscaping, excavating, paving and remodeling crews across Central Ohio — with garments built for the job, decorated locally, and restocked when the crew changes.
What trades actually order
- Hi-vis tees and long sleeves — safety orange and yellow, one-color logo big enough to read across a lot. The everyday shirt for anyone near a road or a machine.
- Crew tees — heavy cotton or cotton-poly for the shop and the jobsite, printed front and back. Three per tech; they get washed every night.
- Polos and quarter-zips for estimators and office staff — embroidered left chest, the piece worn to the customer's kitchen table.
- Jackets, hoodies and beanies — the November-to-March layer. Embroidered so the logo outlasts the garment.
- Hats — embroidered, one style, everyone.
- Owner and management gear — polos, jackets and vests that look like the company that signs the invoice.
Why contractors switch
- New hires happen mid-season. Three shirts for a tech who starts Monday is a normal order here. No minimum panic.
- Field vs office in one program. Crew, estimators, dispatch and the owner on one logo file, sized and named, delivered in one box sorted by employee.
- Garments that survive the truck. We steer you to fabrics and print methods that hold up to a season of jobsite washing — and away from the ones that crack by August.
- Reorders match. Logo digitized once, thread colors on file. The fifth polo matches the first.
A sample crew kit
Quoted for your headcount — no public price list, one person who knows your account.
- 3 × hi-vis or crew tees per tech, one-color print front and back

Restock when the crew changes
Seasonal hiring is the trades' version of turnover. The Quarterly Restock Program keeps the approved kit stocked ahead of spring and fall hiring, or an always-on company store lets each tech pick sizes from a link and charges the allowance you set.
How it starts
- Send the logo, colors and a rough headcount, field vs office.
- Mockup on the actual garments within a few business days, with a quote.
- Approve once. First order ships sorted by employee; restocks follow the schedule or the store.
Every order is approved by you and starts with a deposit that covers artwork and setup.
