Portland, Oregon. Family owned since 1994.
Two generations out of the same shop on N Lombard Street. Panel changes, Generac generators, knob and tube, EV chargers. For the jobs we do most often, the figure is published before you pick up the phone.
The old-house crossing
This panel wall stands in our own shop on N Lombard. It is a decent map of the work: almost every older house in this city has to get from something on the left of it to something on the right, and we publish what most of those crossings cost.
What we do
The house calls are the bulk of it. The commercial and industrial work is real too, and it is where the rough-in photos come from.
The most common call
Fuse boxes, crowded breaker panels and services that were sized for a house with one television. We pull the old panel, set the new one and coordinate the utility when the service itself has to grow. Most panel upgrades are finished in a single day.
Panel work
Authorized Generac dealer
Whole-house and portable generators, transfer switches, fuel lines and the electrical upgrades a generator needs to sit behind. We are the Portland Metro area's official Generac dealer, so the warranty and the parts come from the same place as the install.
Generators
Pre-1950s houses
A lot of North Portland is older than its wiring should be. We disconnect and remove the knob and tube, install new wiring and junction boxes, and leave you with a system an insurer and an insulation crew can both work with.
Knob and tube
Level 1 through DC fast
Wall-mounted stations, portable units, smart chargers on wifi and multi-vehicle setups. Most homes need a 50 amp 240 volt circuit run from the panel, which is the job we publish a flat rate for.
EV chargers
Whole-home and partial
Full rewires, partial rewires for a renovation, wiring for additions, data wiring and code compliance updates. Remodels are where thirty years of looking behind Portland plaster actually pays off.
RewiringPublished flat rates
These are our own published prices for the jobs we do most often. They are not teaser rates and they are not a range. If your house has something unusual behind the wall we will tell you before we start, not after.

We are licensed, bonded and insured, we carry CCB #103824 and electrical contractor number 26-887C, and every job is backed by a one year workmanship warranty from the date of service.
From the reviews
Written by a neighbor who was not even the customer. Names in the reviews are our own technicians.
Every job, since 1994
1 year
Workmanship warranty from the date of service, with manufacturer warranties on all parts on top of it.
“When a huge branch ripped the powerhead, mast, and meter clean from the side of the house Bridgetown made it out the same afternoon for an estimate and begin work the next morning, completed the exterior repairs and also managed to get PGE out there for a reconnect at 10:00pm that night. They returned the next day to finalize repairs inside the house as well as some upgrades... The owner and single resident of this property is an elderly woman with no alternative heat source so this was critical... Top notch service especially under rushed conditions!”
“James from Bridgetown was awesome. He fixed a number of loose ends with our system, installed a new box in the utility room, and solved a very weird mystery with our basement outlet wiring. It turned out to be exactly the problem he thought it was. He was even very patient with me when I asked for him to explain it all to me, which is above and beyond.”
Before you call
The breaker that keeps going, the panel that feels warm, the charger the car came with and nowhere to plug it in. Estimates are typically available within one to two weeks, and for the jobs on our pricing page you already know the number.
