History
Modern Electric was founded in 1971 by Chester White. His son George joined him shortly there after. They put a 3 line ad in the local San Mateo paper and waited for the phone to ring. Slowly their business grew by doing quality work and their customers referring them to their friends. Today 80% of their work is from repeat and referrals. At one time Modern Electric had over 20 electricians and did a lot of commercial work including Gap Stores, Banana Republics, Crown Books, Blockbusters etc. Today Modern Electric is 80 % residential.
