Harvey Electric is a third-generation electrical contracting company that has been delivering quality services for over 60 years. Founded in 1953 by Harvey Scatena Sr., the company began its journey focusing on residential wiring, remodeling, and new home construction. Over the years, it built strong relationships with general contractors, facilitating a steady influx of residential projects. By the mid-1960s, Harvey Electric started extending its services to commercial clients, marking the beginning of its evolution into a full-service electrical contractor.
In the late 1970s, the company relocated to a larger office in Castro Valley, reflecting its growth and the increasing demand for its services. A pivotal change occurred in 1980 when Harvey Scatena Jr. took over ownership, refocusing the business on commercial and industrial needs. This era also saw the integration of technological advancements, including the installation of the company's first computer system, positioning Harvey Electric as a modern entity in the electrical contracting industry.
Harvey Scatena Jr. began his journey with the company as an apprentice in 1990, learning the ins and outs of the contracting business. By 1998, he transitioned to leading the family business and reinstated the original company name, Harvey Electric. Under his guidance, the company has maintained its core values centered on integrity and exceptional customer satisfaction, which have been the cornerstone of its operations for over six decades.
Harvey Electric offers a comprehensive range of services, including repairs, upgrades, specialty testing, diagnostics, consulting, and design. Their commitment to prompt and efficient service has ensured repeat business and customer loyalty across Alameda, Contra Costa, and San Francisco counties. The legacy of quality and client happiness continues to define Harvey Electric, making it a respected name in the electrical contracting field in California.
