Why Work With Us?
The Contractor You Can Rely On, Project After Project
When you hire Padilla Electric Builders, you get more than a subcontractor. You get a union-certified team, dual-licensed in both electrical and general construction, led by owners who stay hands-on from preconstruction through closeout.
We show up prepared, build with precision, and finish what we start. That’s the Padilla standard.

Our Advantage in the Field
Dual Licensing = Broader Scope and Fewer Delays
We hold both a C-10 Electrical Contractor license and a Class B General Building license. That means we can coordinate and self-perform more of the job — including carpentry trenching, concrete pads, and other trade scopes — which helps reduce downtime, cut costs, and eliminate miscommunication between trades.
Union Crews = Safety, Quality, and Scalability
We are proudly signatory with IBEW Locals 11, 47, 413, and 441. Our electricians are rigorously trained, 100% Cal/OSHA-certified, and equipped to meet tight timelines while upholding the highest safety standards. Our union workforce gives us the ability to scale quickly and maintain consistent quality across all job sites.
Built for Collaboration, Driven by Results
We understand that every successful project depends on strong partnerships. That’s why we prioritize open communication with general contractors, owners, inspectors, and every trade on site. By staying proactive and solution-focused, we help prevent delays, resolve challenges quickly, and keep your project moving in the right direction.
A Culture of Safety
Our Certifications & Memberships
Every one of our projects is backed by certified training and third-party verification. Our crews are qualified for high-risk environments, and our compliance record is validated by national safety networks. This means peace of mind for owners, GCs, and procurement teams.

Owner-Driven
Family-Led, Commercial-Tested
We’re not a giant corporation: we’re a second-generation family business that has grown through hard work, loyalty, and results. That means our leadership is hands-on, communication is clear, and you won’t get lost in a chain of middle managers. You deal with real people who know the job and care about the outcome.
Experience Where It Matters Most
Proven in High-Stakes Environments
We’ve worked with utilities, public agencies, industrial developers, and institutional clients. We know what it takes to stay on schedule, hit inspection milestones, and coordinate with GCs, owners, and AHJs. We don’t just bid the job — we see it through. Our track record includes repeat contracts with Southern California Gas Company, Siemens Energy, BNSF Railway, and multiple water districts.
Plus, We’re Built for Multi-Trade Expansion
We’re actively growing our union partnerships to include concrete, rebar, and carpentry. Clients looking for streamlined project delivery can rely on us as a single point of contact across multiple scopes.
Fewer subs. More accountability.
