Show Up. Give a F*ck. File Your Strut.
Founded in 2008 by Bob Pohlmeyer and John Wertin, PFD Electric was built on decades of industrial and commercial electrical experience and an unwavering belief that doing things the right way still matters.
What started as a two-man operation has grown into a tight, driven team known for precision, reliability, and pride in the trade. While others chase volume, we chase quality.
Our clients don’t get passed around through layers of general contractors. They get our numbers on speed dial, 24/7, 365 days a year.
​
Our motto says it all. It’s not just a tagline, it’s how we operate. From the field to the back office, we take pride in showing up, doing it right, and owning our work. Every detail matters. Every project reflects our name. PFD isn’t just a company. It’s a legacy built by craftsmen who take pride in their work and the people they work with. That’s the standard we carry forward -- keeping the professionalism high, the communication clear, and the bar raised on what “good enough” looks like in this industry.
