Guin Service

Guin Service LLC, formerly Guin Company Inc. is a residential and commercial heating, air conditioning, plumbing and generator service company located at 2800 Crestwood Boulevard in Irondale.

The company was founded in 1958 by William C. Guin as a complement to his mechanical contracting business. The contracting business shut down in the 1990s, but the successful service business continued. Guin's great-grandson, Joseph Braswell, bought the business in the 2010s.

In 2019 the Guin Company purchased a former manufacturing building at 10 55th Street South in Woodlawn from the Industrial Development Board of the City of Birmingham for $336,200. At some point they mounted an unused company van to the side of the building to serve as a sign.

After acquiring their present headquarters, they sold the Woodlawn property it to Don Hire and Gip Plott in May 2024 for $600,000.
