OUR COMPANY HISTORY

PorterMatt Electric, Inc. was founded in 1998 by its President, Tim Matthews, and CEO, John Porter. PorterMatt Electric, Inc. was created based on the idea that the company is at its customers' service. Excellent customer relations coupled with an exceptional quality of work. These tenants have always been and will continue to be our blueprint for success. We have always been committed to personal relations, organization, and hard work. We believe relationships and professionalism are essential for growth and longevity in a healthy business. This vision has been and continues to be the backbone of the success of PorterMatt Electric, Inc. Our commitment to treating employees, customers, and colleagues fairly & honestly always has and will continue to guide the culture at PorterMatt Electric, Inc.

 

Tim & John established PorterMatt Electric, Inc. In 1998 with just one employee and a couple of small projects. Over the years, they have continued to grow the business to what it is today.

In 1998 we became licensed as an electrical contractor in California and added Arizona to the portfolio in 2005. Additionally, we added Nevada in 2006, and in 2009 we continued to expand into Colorado, Texas & Washington. We are currently licensed to do work in six states.

 

We have always been committed to safety and employ a full-time Safety Manager. The Safety Manager at PorterMatt is continuously acquiring training certifications to build his knowledge and skill base to ensure our managers, foreman, and employees are safe. Also, our Safety Manager works hand in hand with our customer's safety managers to ensure we are adhering to each customer's individual safety needs. Our goal at PorterMatt is to ensure we all arrive home safely to our families daily. We strive to exceed Cal/OSHA Requirements to ensure that we are compliant with regulations and, more importantly, SAFE!

 

In 2013 we started our in-house engineering & design-build program and currently design more than 50 projects per year. The design projects range in size and scope from small remodels to complete buildings and design-build projects. We have great relationships with all our gear and lighting manufacturers, giving us tremendous flexibility in design capabilities to fulfill any customer requirements.

 

In 2016 we started our service division. We currently service most major grocery store chains in California and a selected group in Arizona and Nevada. We are committed to being prompt to our service calls with high-quality work. Communication with store Directors is essential to our success, and anytime we are in a store, we keep store staff informed about what is going on with the service call.

We love what we do and look forward to years of continued growth and partnerships with our customers and colleagues.
