About Us
Tanglewood Mechanical
Started in Spring 2016, Tanglewood Mechanical mainly focused on lifting and aerial equipment but quickly expanded into heavy equipment and agricultural equipment to meet customers needs. We continued to expand our services over the years to include construction equipment, off road vehicles, computer diagnostics & tuning, engine / transmission rebuilding & light fabrication work.
Initially focusing solely on on-site service, the need for a dedicated shop for larger jobs quickly arose and led to the renovation of the old dairy barn on the farm property. We have also continued to expand our fleet to meet the changing demands of the industries we serve.
The name
The Tanglewood name comes from Steve's great grandfather's name for the farm, Tanglewood Brier. Started in 1910, Dan I McIntosh built a barn and small house on the property and began clearing land to farm. In 1913 Dan almost lost his life when the house was destroyed by fire. He sold the farm but bought it back two years later and built the current house.
February 1928 saw the loss of the barn, equipment and livestock to fire. That fall the current concrete stable was constructed with the hay barn being added in 1950 with lumber cut on the farm's saw mill. In the late 1960's the farm was passed down to Steve's grandfather who continued to farm into the 1990's.
In 2014 Steve purchased the farm and began renovating and restoring the property, bringing new life & purpose to the farm. When Steve began his new business venture in 2016 he couldn't think of a better way to pay homage to the past than to bring back the Tanglewood name.
