Decker Electric
Company Overview
Decker Electric provides a broad spectrum of electrical services tailored for commercial and industrial sectors. Notable areas of expertise involve technology and bio-pharmaceutical tasks, in addition to high-rise and mid-rise construction. DE has built a reputation for its skill in the installation and wiring of electrical control panels and instrumentation. We provide services related to sound and communication technology, including voice/data/video systems, security solutions, and life safety systems.
Decker Electric employs multiple delivery methods, including pre-construction services, design/build, and installation. Design/build services are a key component of our holistic approach; nearly 50% of our projects in commercial and biotechnology are carried out on a design/build basis. Decker Electric serves clients from two Bay Area offices located in San Francisco and South San Francisco.
Decker places a higher importance on customer relationships than on maximizing profits. Decker Electric prides itself on being a reputable, ethical, and fair-minded organization that steers clear of common construction industry pitfalls. DE believes that the best installations should be executed efficiently and at a fair cost. We recognize the importance of long-term relationships with our clients, which influences our daily operations to prioritize repeat business over maximum profit. Please note: We currently do not offer residential services.
Decker Electric celebrates its entry into the third century of business.
Established in 1896 by Peter Decker as Decker Electrical Construction Company, the business has flourished for more than a century, demonstrating a level of longevity, success, and integrity that is rare.
The principle set forth by Peter Decker more than a hundred years ago continues to guide the company today: quality electrical contracting stems from employing skilled and experienced professionals, backed by advanced procedures and equipment. This philosophy is a significant factor in Decker Electric's longevity since the close of the 19th century.
Decker Electric is now managed by its third generation. Each generation has worked in tandem, transferring the company's values, outlook, and practices to the subsequent group of professionals.

Brandon L did you get any work done if not stay off this site. People do have the right to voice their opinion.
i on the other hand think they are a great company that has done a large amount of work for me over the 20 yrs I have done business with them. I am calling them again today to have more work done. I do belief it's important that the company know what's happens. There is always room for improvement no matter how large or small a business becomes.

It's always amazing to me the things that can get on Yelp. For something that many people use as a first point of contact for reviews of a company, they sure let some idiots make stupid remarks. Now Decker, a quality company, has a poor overall review because a couple morons think they got cut off by a truck. This is supposed to be a legitimate review of their business operations, which in my experience has been top notch. Not because one time you feel like you were cut off on the streets of San Francisco. If that were the case, Uber and Lyft would have negative 30 stars.
These guys obviously don't understand what Decker even does I'm sure- But know that if you're looking at reviews to find out how Decker does business, then yes, they do a fine job. Don't listen to these yahoos.

good shop. quality electricians. they should be judged on their work not someone else s stupid driving habits

Decker Electric is a great electrical contractor in San Francisco. They are big enough to be able to handle any project yet still small enough to care about every customer they deal with. In my dealings with them they have been great people to work with so if your looking a quality contractor with a quality office staff to back them up. Hire Decker Electric.
Also they are probably one of the fastest growing contractors in the city(San Francisco) because of the reputation of quality work they put out.

I stopped by their office last week and asked to speak with the owner. I had an electrical project I needed a hand with and I always like to meet the owner of any small business I hire.
The receptionist was incredibly rude to me. Just her stare alone is reason for the one star. She refused to tell me who the owner was, or give me his card. She instead told me ""he is very busy and I don't think he wants to talk to you""
I'm 25 so maybe she just does not like young people? I'm not sure but I would highly suggest staying far away from this company. They do not value customers one bit.

Please ignore the ignoramus Mike M. He did not review the company, and should have his review stricken.
Decker Electric is one of the best smaller electrical contractor firms in the Bay Area. They offer creative project management, good work ethic, and very professional and well educated field superintendents.
The resulting experience for the Owner is a smooth and understandable process, and excellent finished work results.
I personally have worked with Decker numerous times over the past 7 years, both as the Engineer under the Owner's contract on the design team, and contracted under them as a consulting engineer in a design-build capacity. I feel that this is a well-rounded and relatively objective opinion.
I would not hesitate to recommend you call Paul Fisher, Dan Boas, Paul Nielsen, Jeff Easterby, Eric Petersen, and the other sharp guys over there for all of your commercial electrical needs.
