About
Shift Electric Co. is a locally owned and operated commercial and residential electrical contractor serving Portland, OR and the surrounding metro area, including Vancouver, Beaverton, Lake Oswego, West Linn, and Oregon City. Founded by a second-generation electrician alongside seasoned construction professionals, the company brings a combined 75 years of industry experience to every project — a meaningful credential for facility managers and property owners evaluating contractor depth before committing to commercial scopes. For commercial and industrial clients, Shift Electric provides installation, maintenance, and repair across a range of building types including office, retail, multifamily, warehouse, and mixed-use properties. Core commercial capabilities include panelboard and electrical panel work, branch circuit wiring, commercial lighting installation, EV charger (EVSE) installation, backup generator installation, and power distribution. These services align well with the practical needs of Portland-area property managers overseeing tenant improvement buildouts, EV infrastructure upgrades, or aging panel replacements in older Pacific Northwest commercial stock. The team operates with licensed, bonded, and insured journeyman electricians who follow a structured project process: pre-work walkthroughs to identify scope barriers, verified operational testing post-installation, and job-site cleanup. While the company is candid about its dual residential and commercial focus, the 75-year combined experience base and consistent positive reviews around professionalism and punctuality suggest a contractor capable of handling straightforward to mid-complexity commercial electrical scopes. Facility managers with active projects in the Portland metro who need a responsive, locally accountable team for EVSE deployment, generator hookups, panel upgrades, or commercial lighting retrofits will find Shift Electric a competitively positioned option at transparent pricing.
