Smiley Electric was very professional and courteous. He fixed one of the units in a rental we manage and the tenants are very happy. Thanks, Josh! Hitt Group, LLC read more

I don't normally leave reviews, but this time I feel it's essential. The technicians were knowledgeable answered all questions. However, the office they gave me a quote which was reasonable. They asked for 50% down which it was no problem and then after the work was half done, they sent me an unauthorized charge on the quote and expect pay. The saying is when you get a quote that is what the customer is to pay if the company goes over shame on them, if it's under good for them. So please watch your last statement. Would I use use them again definitely not. Will I recommend them definitely not read more

I hired Smiley Electric for two straightforward jobs in my condo: 1. Replace a GFCI breaker and inspect a bathroom light fixture 1. Install a single wafer light fixture Their invoice showed over 4 hours of labor billed beyond the service call, which is far more than industry averages for these tasks (most electricians I consulted, including my own family member who is licensed,say these should take 1-1.5 hours each). I repeatedly asked in writing for a clear, detailed explanation of what caused the work to take so much longer than normal. They refused to provide any written justification, instead insisting on a phone call. I made it clear I wanted everything documented in writing for clarity and transparency. While these discussions were still ongoing and unresolved, they ran my credit card for the full amount without my authorization. This was after I had been responsive and clear that the billing was in dispute. I chose Smiley Electric because of their high Google rating, but my experience matches the lower Yelp rating. Based on how my concerns were dismissed, the lack of transparency, and the unauthorized charge, I cannot recommend this company. read more

See all

Absolutely outlandish prices for simple work. We checked with other electricians and we're, at minimum, being charged for 2x the amount of time other experts have said it should have taken. read more

What a find. Prompt, courteous and clear communication. Not easy to find really good residential electricians. Smiley Electric checked all my boxes and solved the electrical issue in my old home. read more

I had a new furnace installed and the guys from Smiley Electric were there early getting ready before the furnace even guys came. They did a great job. Because of this I asked them to do more work including troubleshooting some outlets I have and also to add a generator switch to my breaker board so I can switch the main house power to the generator during blackouts. Josh and Stan were both very professional and did a great job. I couldn't be happier with the service and I will call them when I have electrical work that needs to be done. Thanks, Anthony read more

Perhaps a little hasty on my first review. Miss wired my dryer outlet and melted the plug. The call to fix it was the only time he showed up on time. common sense could have been better. read more

Smiley Electric - Where would you have put the switch? - Electricians Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Josh of smiley electric hired a subcontractor to do all the digging. The guy doing the digging told me when the job was done Josh refused to show up, check the work and make payment. The digging guy then proceeds to fill in the trench yelling about how Josh refused to pay. And in the process broke a main water line and destroyed a french drain line. The digging guy said and I quote, "he said he would be here all day. I talked to (Josh) and he said earlier he'd show to make payment. So f*** (Josh). This is what he gets." read more

Professional. Responsive. Timely. Knowledgeable. Flexible. Would use this chap again in a heartbeat! Thank you for your excellent service.

Josh from Smiley Electric installed electrical for our new A/C install and he relocated the electrical for a water heater. The quality of his work was excellent! He was also very reliable and communicative. He took the time to answer my numerous questions, even the ones that were unrelated to the current job, it's clear he's extremely knowledgeable. Beyond that, Josh is just the nicest guy... like the type of guy you want as your neighbor. Thanks again, Josh! I'll call again when we're ready for the next job. read more

Very professional and courteous. We had a problem with outdoor outlet for Christmas light and he was able to squeeze in his schedule and fixed the outlet within a few days. He also installed our outlet for our electric car and he left the area very clean and the outlet fitted nicely with the wall. Overalll we are pleased with his work and service. We highly recommend josh. read more

Smiley Electric - Tesla Nema 14-50 outlet. - Electricians Near Me - Portland, Oregon

Needed to check if microwave oven was done for, or if it was an outlet problem as the switch in the fuse box kept tripping every time I tried to use the microwave. The outlet was found to be fine and I needed a new microwave. read more

Josh does not keep his word and is extremely poor with communication. He stole my money and moved out of Denver and would not respond to my numerous polite attempts to contact him to finish my job. Beware,stay away from Josh, not a man of his word and a thief. Not a nice guy. Wow so I leave a comment exposing you on yelp and now you reply. Couldn't get you to reply to my numerous attempts to contact you via text Josh, so I had to resort to Yelp for all to see. Beware of Josh I would not recommend him based on my terrible experience with smiley electric. read more

I had Josh out to fix some outlets and install some others. First off he had the fastest response time. Then he was the only electrician that could get to me within a week. The bid was great. He was friendly. Everything was done timely. He even looked at a last minute electrical issue that popped up for me. If you need work done you should definitely call Smiley. read more

Prompt. Efficient. Fair. Our heaters stopped working this month and because it's an older home we weren't completely sure if it was an electrical issue or a faulty thermostat. Without delay Smiley Electric diagnosed the problem and replaced the thermostat. We had previously called another local company that quoted us a much higher price and showed up at the wrong time. We will gladly recommend Smiley Electric to our friends, family or even businesses that need repairs. I'm confident that if we had a bigger electric problem this company would be able to handle it quickly and efficiently. We are so glad the heat is not only working but running better than ever. We are very grateful for their service as the winters in the Pacific Northwest can be very cold and damp. read more

Josh responded immediately to my situation and came out to give us a quote. He was amazingly professional and courteous. The work was done quickly and the quality was great. I would definitely recommend and use this company for any other electric needs. Thanks again Josh read more

I received a reply from Josh on February 3, 2019 asking for a picture of the lights that I want installed. I sent the pictures and nineteen days later I have not heard back from him. read more

Called left a message for a quote and never received a response. Guess they didn't want my business.

Highly recommend. Made time to fit us into his busy schedule. Arrived on time. Worked late to get the jobs done. Very reasonable price. Will use Josh again in the future and will refer to friends and neighbors in Forest Heights. read more

I was very pleased with Smileys service and work. Communication: emails and phone calls were promptly responded to. When a previous job took longer Josh called to let me know he'd be late. He was clear on what I needed to provide and what he would bring. He sent an email quote laying out the work we had discussed. Very professional! Work: Josh did an efficient job, being careful of my stuff (in a furnished bedroom). He was clear about what he could and couldn't do. I have a pristine 1979 ceiling in which I wanted an overhead light. Josh was clear that he would have to see if he could put in an overhead light fixture without major cutting of the ceiling. He let me know that he could do it with just a cut for the hole for the fixture and it came out perfectly! I had some complicated switch issues which we discussed. He misunderstood (and I did too) on what could be done without major cutting into walls. His set up ended up not being what I wanted but when I realized and explained, he quickly fixed the problem to my satisfaction on the spot. We now need county inspection which he will come to, to make sure all is good. The work is guaranteed for 1 year. Cost: I think the cost was reasonable based on some other quotes from other companies. It may have been a bit higher but well worth it for quality and timeliness of service. Bottom line: this is my company if I ever need any electrical work again. So nice to work with a decent professional company!! Thanks Josh and Smiley. read more

Saw the truck in my neighborhood, saw five stars on Yelp, gave it a try. Everything worked and looked good. I will be calling Josh again the next time we need some work. Plus, he's a really nice guy: Smiley is the perfect name. read more

He was on time, worked exactly what was needed, great results, great price, will recommend him 100%,

Josh @ Smiley Electric responded to all my calls on first try, never left one voice-mail. He was able to give me an estimate the next day and get to work the day after. Josh provided excellent customer service and was very responsive to written requests for my inspector. I will definitely use Smiley Electric next time I need any electrical work done. read more

We have used Smiley Electric for our residence and rental (smaller and more involved jobs) over the past few years. Josh does great work. I appreciate his professionalism and competitive pricing. Josh shows up on time and gets the work done. We will continue to use and recommend Smiley Electric --- Josh ROCKS! read more

Good job, finished quickly. Josh is a really nice guy.

Spoke to Josh. Made an appointment but he didn't show up. I called him, he had the wrong day written down. Arranged for him to come over the next day. Again, he didn't show or call to cancel. I'd avoid Smiley Electric if I were you. I only wish I could give this company no stars. read more

Josh replaced an existing chandelier with a new one. He responded quickly to my request, came out the next morning, was very reasonably priced (based on 5 different quotes), and was polite and efficient. Not much more I can ask for! Wouldn't hesitate to request his services again. Thanks, Josh! read more
