Company Description:

Capitol Valley Electric was established in 1995 in Elk Grove, California.  It began as a small business partnership that catered to the local construction and electrical service industries.  In 2004 company efforts were directed toward larger commercial construction projects.  With the help of an aggressively designed growth plan and a “pro-active” management style; the service area was expanded to include the entire Sacramento Valley and East Bay areas.  Due to Capitol Valley Electric’s success and in response to customer demand the corporation has diversified to include design build construction services. 

Our staff currently consists of two active Principals, four experienced Project Managers and an in-house Engineering & Design team with more than 75 years combined electrical construction experience.  As a result of strong client relationships, a reputation of proven success and “results driven” communication between field and office personnel; Capitol Valley Electric has become one of the Sacramento area’s leading electrical contractors.

We have established a firm foundation from which we will continue to serve our existing clients and further expand.
