When you call, the line is answered. When the appointment is set, we're there. Twenty-four years in, this is still the part most contractors get wrong.
The story · Meet the owner
MEET PATRICK.
P.L.A. Electric isn't a franchise. It isn't private equity. It's Patrick Cristiano, his crew, his license, and the work he's been doing in South Florida since 1985.
Timeline
From a green apprentice to a master electrician.
-
1985
First job on the tools
Patrick picks up the trade in South Florida — back before cell phones and before half the homes had GFCI on the bathroom outlet.
-
1990s
Large-scale industrial & commercial
Oversees large industrial, commercial, and residential projects across the tri-county. Builds the relationships that still bring repeat work today.
-

P.L.A. Electric, Inc. founded
Opens his own shop in Coconut Creek to do the work the way it should be done — owner-walked, code-correct, signed off personally.

Still answering the phone himself
Twenty-three years of P.L.A. Electric. Three state licenses. Three counties served. One owner who still walks every job, signs every final, and picks up the call.

Meet the owner
Patrick J. Cristiano
Owner, President, Master Electrician. Forty-plus years of South Florida electrical contracting — residential rewires, large-scale industrial, commercial build-outs, after-hours emergencies. He started P.L.A. Electric in 2003 because he wanted to run a shop that did the work the way it should be done.
Patrick still personally oversees every project. Estimates, walk-throughs, final inspections — he's on the job. That's not a marketing posture. That's how the company has run for twenty-three years.

How we work
Four things we don't bend on.
02
Permit it. Inspect it. Sign it.
If a job needs a permit, it gets one. If it needs an inspection, we coordinate it. If something fails, we fix it before final. Every time.
03
Owner-walked. Owner-signed.
Patrick walks every job. Not the office, not a project manager — Patrick. Forty years of pattern-matching beats a checklist every time.
04
One year, in writing.
Workmanship warranty on every project we touch. If something goes sideways within twelve months, we come back and make it right.
