Elcor Electric, Inc.

What Elcor Electric, Inc. does

Elcor Electric, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned commercial electrical contracting company founded in 1989 by Stephen Huff and George Woodley, headquartered at 3310 Bassett Street in Santa Clara, California, and now led by second-generation executives Clinton Woodley (CEO) and Ryan Woodley (Vice President). The firm provides end-to-end electrical services — preconstruction and estimating, engineering and design, construction, and ongoing service and maintenance — for commercial, institutional, and government clients across five market sectors: tenant improvement, new construction, labs/biomedical, government/public works, and education. Its project portfolio includes marquee Bay Area assignments for technology occupiers (Sony PlayStation 450,000 sf headquarters, Google, Meta's Menlo Gateway, Qualcomm, Apple, Amazon, Splunk, VMware), life-sciences laboratories (Personalis, Exact Sciences), civic buildings (San Mateo LEED Gold Library, Millbrae net-zero Recreation Center), and academic facilities (Stanford Windhover Contemplative Center, Evergreen Valley College, Khan Academy).

Elcor delivers its services using IBEW union craft labor supported by an industry-standard technology stack: BIM coordination (Revit, Navisworks), estimating and takeoff tools (Bluebeam, Accubid), ERP and project controls (Vista by Viewpoint, Clearstory, PlanGrid), and OpenSpace AI for virtual job site walkthroughs. A differentiated Special Projects Group branded SPark handles smaller, customized workstreams including facility maintenance, emergency repairs, EV charger installation, data center/UPS/generator deployment, and lighting retrofits, providing a recurring-revenue complement to project-based construction.

The business model is project-specific custom pricing on a professional services basis, with revenue generated through direct engagement with general contractors and corporate clients, competitive bidding for public works, and recurring service and maintenance contracts. GTM is relationship-led and regionally concentrated in the San Francisco Bay Area; a stated 93% repeat business rate and 99% ConstructSecure safety score reflect strong client retention. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no M&A activity, and no public revenue disclosure, operating under family governance across two Santa Clara headquarters buildings.
