I loved these guys -- I wish I had more electrical problems, so that Tristan and Garret could come out and fix them for us! I had a whole range of issues: dead stove hood; dead garage lights; no light over the side house door; indoor switch for my outdoor fountain and lights; new kitchen pendants, etc. Peter called within 30 minutes of my outreach, prepared the estimate, and then put Tristan and Garret on the job right away. They were super efficient, very decor oriented (thank you, Tristan!!!), and quoted a great price (lowest of three bids). Plus fun to chat with! I highly recommend the whole team at Dickinson's. read more

I was having issue with my 220V in garage. I had a great experience with Larry. I called him in the morning, and he was able to respond to the issue that same afternoon! He was friendly, informative and very concerned about issue, wanting to get it resolved. Also, reasonably priced. I highly recommend! read more

Michael came in and fixed my fixture. He was quick and polite. He finished the job in less than 1 hour. Here are the before and after photos. read more

Really liked how dependable they were. I had Peter come in and give me an estimate which was super quick compared to other electricians I had contacted. The quote was competitive. The scheduling was quick and the work was done in a single day which was amazing. All in all very happy on all the fronts.

We called late at night on a Friday when most of our kitchen lighting suddenly went out. We weren't expecting anyone to be able to help us until Monday, but much to our surprise, we were able to get an electrician from Dickinson out on Saturday morning. Peter was the employee who came, and he was awesome! Our lights were fixed within an hour! We would definitely recommend this company and Peter was great! read more

I enthusiastically give them a 5 star rating and highly recommend, which is how I found them. They were super helpful and spent time on the phone with me prior to coming out to understand what we wanted before arriving, thus using time efficiently. The cost quoted was $300/first hour then $150/hour. This seemed pretty high, but I can be out of touch with reality on pricing. Figuring out a crazy DIY mess from previous owner on a 107 year old house was quite the ordeal to put a ceiling electrical box up. When the 3 hour project was done it cost me $600. That was very reasonable because he worked quickly and efficiently. Quotes seven years ago from other electricians were $1000 plus . read more

I highly recommend Dickinson Electric Inc. for all your electric needs. I am an out of town owner selling a Beaverton condo. I had to rely on internet searches for opinions on good companies to hire for the repairs requested from a buyer. I called two electric repair companies. I sent the buyer's inspection report to each with the list of repairs. One of the items was to put anti oxidant grease on panel aluminum wires. One of the companies I contacted for a bid decided to instead bid replacing all the breakers to the tune of $1150. I have no idea why other than it was easier than applying the grease or a way to run up the cost. Their total bid was nearly $2000 and they wanted 1/2 the money up front. The second company decided not to grease the wires at all - too much trouble he said and not necessary as it was not required by code. He did not even address two other issues on the repair list and he wanted $1100. I told the buyers I would have all the issues they requested fixed. These companies were recommended on Yelp. Can't always rely on Yelp I found out but you can trust this review without a doubt. Thankfully I did more research and found Dickinson Electric Inc. The owner answered my call right away. He took all my information and as it was a Friday he said my job would be looked at on the following Monday. He also said he would have a fully equipped truck and if I liked the bid they could start the job same day. Wow. I was impressed. I was even more impressed by the electrician Michael who did the job. He was polite, smart, and kept me informed of his findings and took plenty of pictures as he worked. Their quote was $680 a bit more than 1/2 of the lowest bid from the company who was not even doing a full repair! Michael even went above and beyond. He noticed a blown outlet not even mentioned on the inspection report and fixed that. He changed other outlet covers that were damaged as he walked throughout the condo to do a full inspection of his own. Everything was fixed the same day. No upfront payment required. I so appreciate the great HONEST job and great CUTOMER SERVICE. You will be happy if you call them for electric services. read more

This is my second time having Dickinson Electric out at our place to add new outlets. Michael Rogers has been fabulous on both occasions. Michael provides great recommendations on outlet placements and their rates are reasonable. Understanding they're a small business, I left Peter (the owner) an voicemail this second time and he called me back the same day to schedule. I highly recommend going with Dickinson Electric for your electrical needs. read more

I contacted Dickinson's Electric to install an EV charger. They came back at about half the price of the other estimates I got. Their work was great and done very quickly. I will be using them again if I have any need for an electrician. read more

Michael installed a large ceiling fan on my deck, and I couldn't be happier with the service. He was very friendly and professional, and he left the work area spotless. The fan is working great, and I highly recommend his services to anyone in need of a skilled electrician. read more

Larry has always been helpful, quick to respond, and fair in his pricing. His son, Peter, doesn't fall far from the tree :-) Peter helped me solve my GFCI problem over the phone and saved me a call. I highly recommend them! read more

There was a serious problem with a 240 outlet. It got scorched from overheating. They made sure there was no damaged wire remaining and replaced the breaker to better match clothes dryers made today rather than 50 years ago. Prompt, friendly and stuck to the original price quoted even though the job changed. I'll use them again. read more

Dickinson's electric totally saved us this morning! They were able to solve our problem over the phone in minutes - it's obvious that they are genuine, good people and they win all my future business. Thank you Peter!!!! read more

This company was one called at the beginning of the snow event in Portland, OR, in February of 2021! The owner of the company, Larry, came out on Monday, to assess the damage to our masthead pipe and the wiring that was still attached to the main PGE pole at the street. Note that we did not cease to have power from this event, except when the whole area was without power. Otherwise, being still attached, but pulled away from holding brackets, and laying on the ground, and wire still connected to main pole, we had power when all in area had power! It was obviously the issue of getting a new holding pipe, re-insurrection of wires, and new metal securing brackets! A fairly simple job. The owner, Larry, said it wouldn't be a difficult fix, and said it would cost about $2100 to do. He said that he would be in touch very soon, and left. On Thursday, a company that was not employed by Dickensons' directly (they were basically a 'substitute' sublet company' that Dickensons' called, when the area needed more help--and was NOT their employees!). This company, with a lead electrician by the name, Daniel (I believe he was from Scapoose), showed up after we got an email "on their way" and no other contact!) from Peter Dickenson, who is the son of Larry Dickenson. Daniel came to the house, and said he was doing the work for Dickenson's and the price would be $4500!! He arrived with one other worker (one who was not particularly dressed for the job, and neither trained, nor a journeyman electrician--(stated by Daniel--"yes, we are trying to get him into some kind of a training program"--but obviously it was clear, as I spent much time with the project myself, that the fellow was basically a ladder-holder, a go-fer for Daniel). There were many jokes about his lack of electrical knowledge! I didn't get the company's name off the truck, so do not have it! Anyway, with the price now being a whole lot more than the original quote, we were very unhappy. After much discussion, then a third person showed up, in a truck like Daniel's. This fellow basically put the brackets onto the new pipe that held it to the side wall, and held the power line connection for re-connection. He actually left before all was finished. The three 'crew' had actually started some of the repair when we asked what was being charged, since we told them what the owner had quoted, ($2100). Daniel immediately stated that all three workers were going to be paid $125 an hour! That was what he expected or basically $4500 to do the job, that was already quoted "by the owner at $2000!" In the meantime, I called a couple of electrical companies, Westside Electric for one, and explained the issue. Their price $2000! I also tried 'several' times to call/text Peter Dickenson, who never once returned any of my calls! Daniel finally agreed to $3500, and at that point, I felt fairly sure that both he and Dickenson Electric (specifically, Peter), were simply scamming a homeowner, and using a weather-induced situation to do it! While the work on their part was completed, I would never use this company again! And hopefully, the work that Daniel and his crew from Scappoose completed, will be sufficient for a long time! I also noticed that there is a listing for 75' of 4/0 aluminum wire, which seems rather a lot, and saw some used, but that much was not replaced in the work.... Final thoughts.....never use either company again!!! read more

I called Larry after I lost outdoor lighting. He was TREMENDOUSLY helpful and I sorted it out, but will have him install some GFI outlets and a damaged lighting timer. But he SAVED my bacon. Was a great guy. I highly recommend him! read more

Larry Dickinson answered my call, which I knew was a great sign. He came out to our house that day and made quick work of an electrical issue we've been having for years. He jumped over counter tops, climbed into tight corners, and even made it up into our attic, which is not easy! He provided me with valuable information about the electrical work that was in our house (it's from the 60's), and gave us advice on how to fix other issues on our own that he had identified. Thanks Larry, this was money well spent. Highly recommend. read more

I emailed these clowns, specifically the owner of the company, with details of a job and asking for contact at their earliest convenience... I received a three word reply "out of town". Nothing about contacting me on returning or asking me to contact another member of their "team". Given this utterly unprofessional dismissal I am frankly glad I will not be having them do the work. Your life can depend on the electrical service you receive so do not waste your time with people that are unprofessional in the way they treat you as it is a reflection of the work they will perform. 0/10 read more

Great work, very friendly and courteous, competent, and highly recommended. I had a very rare problem with romex in my wall going bad. Larry was quickly able to isolate the problem and we pulled some new wire. I'll add that Larry was friendly; the type of person you'd like yo sit and have a beer with. Want to support a small business that does good work? I highly recommend Dickinson's Electric. read more

I tried to swap a working timer into a bathroom to control a ceiling fan. It didn't work, so I decided I needed an electrician. I called Larry and he talked me through what I had not understood about wiring up the timer so that I could complete the job properly myself. He spent some time with me out of pure helpfulness and good nature. I appreciate him doing that, and if I ever need a real electrician I will definitely be calling him. read more

Thank you Peter and crew for showing up on time and doing an excellent job. Install of the NEMA 14-50 outlet was done quickly and at a fair price. The 50 amp breaker that my electrical panel needed was low on stock, but Peter and his crew made sure that my installation would be done on the day scheduled. Everyone involved was friendly and professional. I would recommend Dickinson Electric to homeowners in need of a professional and competent crew of electricians. read more

Peter Dickenson responded to my voicemail regarding a loss of power in one end of my home. It was after a long holiday weekend but he called me back in the evening. He fit me in at the end of the day following the holiday. They have a minimum charge for coming to your house, but the charge covers the service call and for repairs, I'm sure there must be a time limit but he managed to fix my problem and be on his way in about an hour. I will definitely use them next time I have a need for electrician read more

I called for an estimate and the driver said he was in the area he'll drop by. I'm at work so I figure he'll stop by and give my wife the estimate. He was there for 5 minutes, he did fix the problem but $175.00 with no estimate. There's lots of A-holes in this world and he was one. read more

Larry was more responsive than any contractor I have ever hired for any job. He was at my house within 10 minutes of my call at 6:15pm and had diagnosed and repaired the issue by 7pm. Hopefully I won't need an Electrician again for sometime, but if you do. You should call Larry. read more

Another glowing review. I had a minor electrical issue in a rental unit that was too advanced to handle myself. After calling 1/2 a dozen electricians around town I got a series of responses including 'sent direct to voicemail', "I can come out in two weeks" and "It's $299 for me just to show up". No good. Based on Yelp reviews, I called Dickenson's and within 30 minutes of my call they were in my home (they happened to be on my side of town). 2 guys showed up and wasted no time rolling up their sleeves and together they tracked down the issue in another 30 minutes. They were friendly, helpful and professional and final bill was very reasonable for such a quick turnaround. No need for me to call around in the future, these guys are the real-deal and will be my first call every time. THANKS GUYS! read more

If you had six stars I would have clicked them all. I had a socket break and it cut out the power to half of my home, I called all over - "we're two weeks out." I called Dickinson at 8:00 PM on a Sunday night, Larry and his son were here at 8:20 AM Monday morning. They were so helpful and had my problem fixed in minutes. I have put them in my "TO CALL in EMERGENCY" file. This is a good business to work with and I will definitely use Dickinson's Electric in the future. read more

When my wall thermostat caught on fire, the Big Guys who list "emergency service,24/7" told me they could come out to look at it in twelve days. Twelve Days! After taking my credit card! Larry from Dickinson called me within fifteen minutes and showed up fifteen minutes later. Wonderful and efficient work, great price! Larry and Eric are my Christmas heroes! read more

Excellent! Highly experienced knows exactly what they are doing. Very fair prices.

Super amazing work by Larry. Needed an outlet converted for a new dryer and he came over and did it in less than 30mins for a reasonable price. He was friendly and informative - I'll definitely use him next time I need electrical work done. read more

On a Saturday morning, I called Larry and he came right out and fixed my issue. I was surprised that he came over so quickly and was very reasonable on the price. Highly recommended. read more

Fast, friendly, efficient & fairly priced. Larry & Eric ran ceiling wiring in three rooms that previously only had switched outlets, then installed two fixtures & a ceiling fan. They also converted an outside circuit from 220 to 110, ran wiring and installed a new outlet so that I can now enjoy my hot tub again. Highly recommended! read more

Apparently they have more business than they need. I called to have an outlet added in my garage. The person that answered ask me to text my request and they would get back to me. Nobody did so a week later I called again and was asked to text again, which I did. No response. Just for kicks, I texted one more time and four days later still no reply. Maybe my job is to small, but I live close to their office and I would think they could swing by sometime to finish off a day! At the very least, tell me they are not interested so I can find someone who is! read more

Came to install smart switches. Really impressed by their work. Will use them again.

Larry did a fantastic job installing electricity to our new hot tub. We will definitely hire him next time we need an electrician.

We have used Dickinson Electric now for two different projects. Each time they came out quickly and gave written and very fair estimates, were easy to work with, have good recommendations on how it would work best. They arrived on time, got the job done efficiently, they checked in with me throughout the project on how I wanted it, cleaned up nicely after. Yesterday I tripped a circuit by mis-wiring a light switch and they talked me through how to do it correctly over the phone! Above and beyond! I recommend them highly! read more

I called Dickinson's at 8pm when half my house went dark. He answered even though he was in the middle of another job. I thought since I had some power but multiple circuits were out, it must be a fault in my house. He explained that it was more likely the power company's problem and suggested I called them. Other electricians would charge hundreds of $$s for an after-hours emergency job. He was right! PGE came out in an hour, confirmed it was their equipment and installed a temporary fix. read more

I called about a problem with two outlets in the kitchen. I had tried to fix this myself without success. After answering several questions about symptoms, I was told a few things to try on my own. 20 minutes later the problem was solved and I learned some valuable information for the future. Thank you for the helpful information on the phone and a free repair for me. I will definitely be calling Dickinson Electric for any future problems. read more

Had a minor electrical need very close to Christmas. All the other shops were booked up for 2 to 3 weeks. He came out the same day and took care of the problem in half an hour. Very friendly prompt and professional. read more

Great work and really affordable, working within our remodeling budget. Nice family owned business that tackles whatever electrical issue you are dealing with. We needed to update our 1950's ranch, and it was no problem for the pros and Dickinson's Electric. Our house is more modern and functional than ever. You won't be disappointed hiring these folks! read more

As good as it gets! Larry is super-friendly and professional. He responded quickly to my call, did an excellent job and was very reasonably priced. He has been doing electricity for a long time and is truly a master. Thank you! read more
