What We Do

Canyon River Electric is a commercial electrical contractor serving projects across Utah—especially retail, grocery, medical, restaurant, industrial, and multi-family. We’re known for clean, code-compliant installs, proactive coordination, and field teams that communicate clearly from precon through punch.

Whether it’s a live, open store, a fast-track TI, or a multi-site rollout, we phase work, protect operations, and keep schedules on track. Expect disciplined safety, tidy jobsites, and no-surprise pricing—so owners and GCs can move confidently from plans to turnover.
