City-by-City



Modesto

Our home base — from older residential neighborhoods to the industrial and agricultural operations that anchor the local economy, Modesto is where our reputation was built.



Turlock

Home to Cal State Stanislaus and a strong surrounding agricultural base, Turlock’s mix of residential growth and long-standing farm operations keeps us busy across both.



Riverbank

A tight-knit community with a mix of established and newer homes, where reliable, honest electrical work is especially valued.



Oakdale

Known as the Cowboy Capital of the World, Oakdale’s ranch properties, agricultural operations, and small-town residential streets call for an electrician who understands both rural and residential work.



Tracy

One of the fastest-growing logistics and warehouse hubs in the Central Valley, with steady new-home and commercial construction.



Manteca

A growing family community with a steady wave of new residential construction, from new-build wiring to EV charger installation.



Ceres

Closely tied to Modesto’s economy, blending agricultural and industrial operations with residential neighborhoods.



Lodi

Known for its vineyards and wine industry, where agricultural operations and a small-town commercial core both depend on electrical systems that can’t afford downtime.



Stockton

The largest city in our service area — a broader industrial and commercial base alongside residential neighborhoods calls for a full-service electrical contractor.

After doing a walkthrough, Eric provided multiple options all of which fit within budget and completed the work ahead of schedule. We’re very happy with the end result and appreciate the professionalism. Thanks Eric and the Cates team for another successful project.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Eric, the owner of Cates Electric, absolutely knows his craft. We needed all-new lighting installed throughout our home where there had been none before, and he handled it with complete confidence and zero stress. Every step felt smooth and efficient, and he finished the project in an impressively timely manner. We’re so grateful for his skill and professionalism. Highly recommend Cates Electric for anyone who wants the job done right the first time! ⚡🏡✨
