Since 1925, Con J. Franke Electric has stood for more than craftsmanship — we've stood for community. What began as a small electrical shop has grown into a legacy of powering Northern California’s most vital public spaces.
Wiring the Infrastructure That Supports Daily Life
Our story runs through the wiring of Stockton’s first public schools, the backbone of civic centers, and the systems behind water and wastewater treatment facilities. Each project is a thread in the fabric of the communities we serve.
Today, we're proud to carry that legacy forward — from decades-old school sites to modern learning environments, libraries, and sustainability-ready infrastructure.
The Modesto Library: Powering a Place for Learning
In August, we're set to begin work on the Modesto Library — a community anchor built for education, connection, and discovery. This isn’t just a job for us. It's a commitment to creating spaces where people will come together for generations to come.
Built on Relationships. Powered by Purpose.
Our electricians don’t just wire buildings — they build futures. Many have spent decades with us, taking pride in knowing their work supports the everyday experiences of students, families, and entire neighborhoods.
Each school, civic space, and municipal project is powered by our team’s dedication to safety, quality, and impact. It’s not just technical work. It’s personal.
From the 1930s to Today — And Beyond
We’ve helped shape Northern California’s civic landscape from the ground up — from Stockton’s first school in the 1930s to city-wide infrastructure in the 1960s. Now, we’re investing in EV charging, clean energy, and smart systems that carry this mission into the next century.
We Don’t Just Power Buildings — We Power Possibility
Public projects are the heart of our legacy. They reflect what we stand for: community, continuity, and care. As we celebrate 100 years of service, we’re not just honoring the past — we’re building what’s next.
