We are in the middle of a major remodel and our electrical work is extensive, both in replacing old wiring and redesigning lighting to fit the new house design. Our contractor introduced us to Advantage Electric. After meeting Brian, their senior electrician, and receiving his comprehensive bid, we hired Advantage and so happy we did.Brian has been excellent communicator, keeping us posted of his schedule and work progress. He takes the time to explain what he intends to do and the reasons why. He also offers alternative options we had not thought of, making our decision more effective and cost efficient. We have also had good communications with Judy, Advantage scheduler and bookkeeper. She is quick to respond to our emails and has spread our contract payment over the length of the work, helping to manage our cash flow.We highly recommend Advantage Electric if you have a large construction project. Obviously, your electrical contractor has to be someone you trust, have the expertise and experience to perform quality work, but most importantly this important subcontractor must have the professional integrity and follow through. We have this in Brian with the added benefit of a great sense of humor. As icing on the cake, we have appreciated the administrative support provided by Judy.

Finding a good, honest electrician in Portland can be as hard as finding a good dentist (Healthy Smiles) or a good mechanic (Hawthorne Auto) - too few and too far between.We recently moved back to Portland and into an older South Tabor bungalow. As you can imagine, there were some electrical needs. I found Advantage the first time when I desperately needed to have my gas range outlet downgraded from a 220 to a 110. It was a small job, but I called 6 other outfits before Advantage said they could do it the same week - obviously wasnt a huge project or revenue point. Worked with Brian and mentioned that I had a few other things that I needed done around the house, but they werent critical.About a month later I called for a larger ($1000-$2000) residential bid and Brian came and gave an estimate. They completed the job today and I am totally satisfied with the work.I was pleased to see that Brian had a couple of apprentices in along who were learning the trade. Sure, any electrician could probably have done this job, but it was the dedication to high-touch customer service, attention to detail, and the dedication of teaching a new generation of tradesmen these same skills will keep me coming back. 10/10 would absolutely recommend.

This is the 3rd time I have used Advantage Electric and every time they have far exceeded my expectations. I just had them replace my electrical panel. They were on time, explained everything they were doing, always were able to answer my questions and cleaned up after themselves. They were also dog friendly! I really appreciate them looking over my house electrical system. I got great electrical work and an understanding how the electrical in my house works. I will definitely use them again.

We had Advantage Electric do some extensive upgrading that took 3 days to complete. We were pleased to find the actual cost was less than the estimate. They kept us informed and up to date as to their findings as the job progressed. Clayton and Brian were both friendly and professional. All in all, an exemplary team and experience! We highly recommend this company.

I used Advantage Electric to repair some fairly complicated electrical problems in my 77 year old home. Clayton did a thorough inspection and explained in detail what was wrong and what it would take to fix the problem. Clayton and Brian consulted with each other about the work. The work was done very well and Brian even repaired the wall damage around the plugs. They were both very friendly, kind, hard working, and very patient with my 2 dogs who were underfoot a good deal of the time. I felt the price they charged was very reasonable. I highly recommend them for electrical work.

Great service to repair a botched circuit breaker job in my older house with mixed wiring. I got a quick appointment, Clayton came out and within a few minutes had my problem resolved and repaired. He was friendly, gave me some good tips and didnt even mind my very nosy collie puppy exploring his equipment bag. Ill call Advantage again if I need further electrical work.

Weve used advantage electric for years now, and we always ask to schedule with Brian. Hes the best, not only does he know hot stuff you get to listen to his sense is humor while he works. His jokes are so bad its impossible not to laugh. We really trust Brian and this company. Will be sad to leave this state and not have him work for us anymore.

Clayton with Advantage Electric was sent over to troubleshoot this afternoon. It turned out the problem was the circuit breakers were not on on position properly. He flipped the breakers to the right position and left us an invoice with no charge. What a pleasant surprise! Clayton has very good personality. He talks to you with a smile & calm demeanor. We have been thinking to have this old house rewired. The Advantage Electric will definitely be the first one to call. Because I know this is a company of honesty.

I had Lee come out and replace a power panel and the electrical meter and the wiring to both in a older house and bought everything up to code. Installed a hot tub circuit. He showed up on time, cleaned the area up after each day. Answered all my questions. Affable and clean. The best part of Advantage Electric was the price quoted was what the final bill was, even with some unexpected details. I would HIGHLY recommend Lee, and Advantage Electric. C

I would give Advantage Electric and Brian in particular 10 stars if I could. Highly skilled, extremely thorough, and probably one of the most technically knowledgeable people I have met from any trade over the course of remodeling. You will not regret hiring Advantage Electric.

Weve worked with Lee a few times on our home and each time hes been friendly, professional, knowledgeable, and extremely reliable. Lee and Advantage have always been punctual and communicative regarding scheduling and the work that has been done to our home. I would definitely recommend them.

We needed some outlets fixed and a broken ceiling light replaced. The new one (pictured) turned out way better than I imagined -- guests have gasped when they notice it. We need another outlet fixed (old house...) and were definitely hoping Advantage has some time available again!

Exceeded my expectations for a small bathroom remodel, very happy with the coordination with the other contractors to make the whole experience smooth. Love the LED can lighting in the hall. Kitchen will be next year!

Clayton from Advantage Electric in Portland, Oregon, diagnosed the faulty plug which had interrupted an entire circuit in our home in the first two minutes of his service call. We highly recommend them.

I had a very good experience working with advantage. They were able to easily communicate the work that needed to be done, and very willing to answer any question I had about the work, permitting, and inspections.

Great to see Brian with the same crew now at Unity. We have used him for years now. He has always been extremely professional and a pleasure to work with.

Friendly to work with, gave me a straight forward price. Appreciated talking to the actual electrician about what they recommended.

Ive reached out to this business by email twice in the past week in hopes of learning more about their services and scheduling an appointment but hadnt heard back yet. Today I finally decided to call and after reaching the voicemail message I learned that this business is not currently accepting new clients. I thought Id pass along the message to other folks seeking services! And also offer a gentle suggestion to maybe put this notice on your website and/or create an auto-responder email message letting new inquiries know youre fully booked. Cheers to your continued success!

Weve had Brian to our house to do work 3 times now and each time it is a great experience. This last time required a city inspection and there were no issues at all. Everything was clearly labeled, identified, and communicated so inspection was a breeze. Overall communication with these guys is great, Brian gives a heads up of when hell be there (and sticks to it), and most importantly they do a great job. Highly recommended.

I had an electrician from this company to my house to fix a problem. I had no power in half my house. They notified me of a 200.00 diagnosis fee and I accepted. They found the problem in 20 min minutes and offerd to check my electrical panel for loose connections at no additional charge. They found some loose connections and and a BURNT LUG IN MY PANEL. They showed me the problem and I realize that was why I would occasionally smell burning in my basement. I had them replace the panel in the coming days. I couldnt be happier with the work they preformed and they prevented a fire in my home. They even applied the 200 diagnosis fee toward the replacement of the panel. I rarely have this level of customer service from home repair companies. My neighbors have also had them do work and are have expressed the same satisfaction. I will definitely have them out for my next project. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORKTHANK YOUDrew.
