PDX Electric Reviews & Testimonials:
Google Review from KW
My Realtor recommended this company based on her past experience and I used them shortly after purchasing an older home to install new service, fix wiring issues, and have additional outlets added. Their army of workers showed up on the dot, did their magic, worked with plaster walls through tiny holes to tie into existing wiring, noted what was possible due to code and got creative in tricky spots due to the age and location of previous wiring of the house. PDX Electric was very competent and I couldn't be happier with the work. Highly recommended, would use again.
