"Mike was great from the beginning. It took me months to find a contractor that kept to their word on getting me quotes and keeping to the work spec. We had a sub panel added to our garage as well as some lights and a 3 way switch from the house setup through them. Everything was laid out well, done with pride in their work and with no fuss about additions added by the electrical inspector for code. Everything was handled and I didn't need to ask twice for anything. Mike presented options of how it would be setup and we chose the best path forward. Communication was A+ and I never had to chase him for anything. The work was neat and done very professionally and I couldn't be happier. Electrical inspector also had no issues with their work and signed off immediately. I will be using them in the future for other projects I have coming and I'm recommending them to my mom for work she needs done as well. 100% pleased with everything from first contact to job wrap up."

"Roy and his team did a great job! They are professional, timely, thorough, and have an eye for detail. We bought a house that had a butchered, antiquated electrical system that was unsafe and chaotic. Roy and his team stepped in and not only sorted out the mess but put in its place a state-of-the-art electrical system that has been greatly simplified, and made safe and convenient (Roy spent time walking through the house with me talking through placement of switches and other features that ensured we had light in all the right places and flows perfectly with day-to-day use). Hire RGS, you'll be glad you did!"

"Josh is fair and very responsive with his crew of interchangeable professionals who are prompt and professional. My project was a huge undertaking across four apartments involving exterior panel installations and a complete rewiring of the entire building. I worked with about 6 of his crew members spanning months without any meaningful complaint and would depend on them for all my future electrical endeavors. His pricing is very fair for the quality of work you get."

Electrical questions, answered by experts

In Portland, you’ll find master electricians who oversee large-scale projects, residential electricians focused on home wiring and upgrades, commercial electrical contractors for businesses, solar specialists for renewable energy systems, and emergency electricians for urgent repairs. Each type of electrical contractor brings expertise suited to Portland’s mix of historic and modern properties, so choose one whose experience matches your specific project needs.

Helpful?

In Portland, hidden costs often arise from required permits, electrical inspections, and code compliance updates like GFCI outlet installations. Older homes may need extensive rewiring or wall repairs after removing outdated systems. Weather delays, especially in winter, can increase labor time. Coordination with utility providers for service upgrades or meter changes may also add to your project’s timeline and complexity, so plan accordingly.

Helpful?

Before starting electrical work in Portland, confirm you have the necessary permits and detailed project plans. Carefully vet electricians by checking licenses, insurance, and local experience. Request multiple estimates for comparison, and coordinate with your utility provider if service upgrades are needed. Schedule major projects outside of winter to avoid weather delays, and review current electrical codes to ensure your project meets all local requirements.

Helpful?

In Portland, address electrical issues right away if you notice sparking outlets, burning odors, frequent breaker trips, or persistent flickering lights, as these are signs of urgent safety risks. Immediate attention is also needed for outdated wiring or ungrounded outlets, especially in kitchens and bathrooms. Upgrades like adding outlets or installing landscape lighting can typically wait, but never delay repairs that impact home electrical safety.

Helpful?

Portland homeowners are prioritizing smart home features like automated lighting, smart thermostats, and integrated security systems. Energy-efficient upgrades, such as LED recessed lighting and modern electrical panels, are also in demand. Many are installing EV charging stations and enhancing outdoor spaces with weather-resistant lighting. For older homes, concealed wiring and USB-integrated outlets are popular ways to blend modern convenience with classic architecture.
