Electricians serving Modesto, CA
To choose an electrician in Modesto, verify the license with the California CSLB’s "Check a License" tool, confirm insurance, and compare at least two written estimates. Below: how to vet anyone you call, then an independently researched list of established local electricians (as of September 2026) — not a ranked endorsement.
Modesto Electrician Pros is an independent referral service. We connect you with independent, third-party electrical contractors in the Modesto area — we don't perform electrical work ourselves. The businesses below are independent, third-party companies — we don’t work for them, and being listed here isn’t a paid placement or a certification of their work. Ratings and review counts reflect what was publicly visible on Google or Yelp at the time of our research and can change.
How to choose an electrician in Modesto
- Verify their license directly at the CSLB’s "Check a License" tool — don’t rely on a website claim alone.
- Ask whether they carry current liability insurance and workers’ comp coverage.
- Get a written estimate before work starts, and confirm whether it includes the permit fee.
- For anything beyond a very minor fix, confirm they’ll pull the required permit — see our permit guide for when that applies.
- Get at least two quotes for anything beyond a small repair — see our cost guide for what’s typical, so you can spot an outlier quote either direction.
Rather not call around? Tell us what you need and we’ll match you with an independent local pro, free.

About this list
How did you pick these electricians? +
We compiled this list from public review platforms (Google, Yelp) and independent verification sites (Expertise.com) during our own research, prioritizing businesses with an established public track record. It’s informational, not an endorsement or certification of any specific company.
Are these companies licensed and insured? +
We independently verified license numbers for two companies listed (via Expertise.com) but do not verify every company’s current license and insurance status ourselves. Always confirm directly with the California Contractors State License Board (cslb.ca.gov) before hiring.
Is this list complete? +
No — Modesto has more independent electricians than any one list can cover, and this page focuses on businesses with a clear public track record at the time of our research. If you don’t see a company you’re considering, that’s not a mark against them.
Why use this site instead of just picking one of these directly? +
You’re welcome to contact any company on this list directly. We also offer a free quote-matching service if you’d rather describe your job once and have it routed to an available local electrician.
