"When we learned very quickly that electricity was something best left to the experts, Thomas was our first call--and our only call. We had planned to get bids from several electricians, but once we met Thomas at Classic Electric, we stopped searching. Not only was he prompt, honest, and very courteous, he was also extremely professional. Thomas was very upfront with project costs and time, and had everything done well ahead of what was promised. Thomas even sent us a thank you note in appreciation for our business. It's really rare to find his level of work ethic (and commitment to a job well done) these days. Thank you for your help, Classic Electric!"

"So happy I found Classic Electric!! Thomas recently installed 14 LED canned lights in my home, with dimmer switch, as well as center lighting in two bedrooms. Almost all required brand new wiring and Thomas did a fantastic job! Very impressed! I appreciated his consistent communication throughout the entire process and was very happy that my work was able to be completed within days after receiving the detailed quote! Will definitely use Classic Electric for all my future electrical work!
Thanks again Thomas!!"

"Thomas Adams of Classic Electric recently completed lighting work at our new home in the Villebois Subdivision in Wilsonville. Our home is a Polygon home and thus came with substandard builder grade lighting in all four of the bedrooms. The one small LED pendant placed center to the closet doors in each room did not come close to providing adequate lighting in the rooms. Thomas installed new flush mount lighting in the center of the secondary bedrooms and canned lighting and a dimmer switch in the master bedroom.
He also came to the rescue to fix a substandard installation of a fireplace blower by another well known firm that installed the blower without permit, broke the bracket that was provided with the kit and did not mount the control switch on the wall as we had requested. And they did not pull a permit as was required by code.
If you are looking for a professional that will be on time, communicate clearly, compete the work exactly as you desire and provide a level of service rarely found these days, we highly recommend Thomas for your home needs. We were very happy with his work and glad to see that there are professionals like him still making homes brighter for us.
Thanks Thomas. Awesome job!"

"Thomas is THE EXPERT!!! He provides exceptional work and service in everything he does!!! We have now had him do alot of work on our old house and every time he exceeds our expectations!! Our first job with Thomas was an urgent new plug for air conditioning during a crazy summer heat wave. He squeezed us into his busy schedule and had us cooled off in no time! Since then we have had him fix all kinds of odds and ends old house issues we had ignored and accumulated for years, gave us new dedicated plugs for space heaters/refrigerators etc, added outdoor lights/fans and switches to transform our back patio space and put in a beautiful new panel. Our house is old and tried to throw him alot of wrenches, no problem for Thomas. He is the guy for retrofitting old houses!! He has decades of experience and amazing patience that guides him through whatever surprises your house may try to toss his way. Thomas' work is meticulously planned out and executed to perfection! I have never worked with a contractor that had better communication or pride in his work!! Thanks Thomas, we love what you have done for our home!!"

"I'm a residential contractor and worked with Thomas of Classic Electric for the first time. We did a master bath remodel. Had a wonderful experience. He was a timely and clear communicator which has been my #1 problem with other electricians in the past. He's very knowledgeable about his craft and I can tell he cares. His prices are also very fair. Would highly recommend him and would work with him again."

"Thomas is extremely professional and communicative. I work with a lot of contractors and small businesses in my line of work and went out on a limb to hire someone I didn't know.

"Thomas installed a ceiling fan 18' up. The original electricians made some odd decisions. As well as installing our fan, he fixed the issue with the previous electrician's work. We are very pleased. We are really enjoying the improved air movement."

"Thomas installed two ceiling fans for us and he did an amazing job! He made sure all of the details were squared away before we started and also explained the job to me. He charged us the price he quoted (which was significantly lower than another local company we called) and kept the work areas clean. He also made sure our new smoke alarm was plugged in and working. I appreciated the extra customer service. A huge thank you to Thomas!"

"Awesome!! I called Classic Electric since they were local and had great reviews on here. They did not disappoint. I talked to Thomas on the phone to schedule an appointment. I needed a sump pump wired in under my house and also was having trouble with a GFI outlet. Thomas knew exactly what the problem was with the GFI when I told him what was wrong and explained how to fix it. Who does that?! I had called a few other electricians and gave them the same information. They were all two months out for an appointment and none of them gave any suggestions as to how I could fix the problem myself. Thomas saved me a couple hundred bucks over the phone! So I had him come out to wire up my sump pump. Thomas was punctual, professional, and extremely knowledgeable. He even cut me some slack when the job went from a single circuit to two due to him finding instructions that were mistakenly left under the house by the company that installed the pump. Thomas did an outstanding job and charged me a fair price. It's nice to know there are still guys out there who take pride in what they do and aren't just there for a "trash and dash" to make a quick buck. I will definitely be calling Classic Electric for any future electrical needs, and you should, as well!!"

5 STAR REVIEW
"Thomas takes great pride in his work & craftsmanship. Thomas just completed a lengthy project for me (about 5 weeks off and on) and never once did I have to babysit him (call him day before or day of to make sure he would be there or to remind him of work that needed to be completed by a certain date). He is definitely not the "typical" contractor that tries to rush through the job just to finish & get paid. I always knew everything was getting done the way it should be and he truly cares how everything looks too, which is a big plus. This is only the start of a very large remodel for us and we will certainly work with Thomas again when we are ready for the next phase of electrical work. I will say, he does like to complain a little bit, which he admits to, but no one is perfect and if that's his one vice, so be it. I would without hesitation refer him to clients, family & friends and I will."

"Only 5 stars?! if I could give Thomas 10 stars I would. My new home had some real issues, and Thomas went above-and-beyond to resolve them all.

Will definitely use him again if needed."

5 STAR REVIEW
"Thomas took on an electrical job I can only describe as one of biblical proportions! Adnara Equestrian Center is a boarding facility in Aurora that had previously been owned by a do-it-your- self kind of guy using duct tape and bailing twine. The wiring in the main boarding barn was a hodge podge of disaster waiting to happen. After meeting with several electricians to assess the scope of the job I chose to work with Classic Electric because Thomas had a can-do attitude and assured me the end product would be both up to code and permitted. It was obvious in the walk through he knew what he was talking about and the size and complexity of the job did not scare him off.
I truly say working with Thomas was a pleasure due to his professionalism and work ethic. He gave us many suggestions for functionality and cost savings which were much appreciated on a project of this size. Now our barn is well lit, plugs are in good places, switches make sense and most importantly I feel safe knowing Thomas brought everything up to standard. His experience with old houses and barns certainly showed as he unraveled the years of do-it-yourself wiring we inherited. Thanks Thomas!"

"I chose Classic Electric for a small-but-important job based on positive reviews here, and I am certainly glad -- Thomas was quick, responsive, reasonable and professional.
Definitely shouldn't be the exception, but it was SO great to have such an easy, painless and quick response. Thomas came by the day after I first called him and he delivered the quote that evening, as promised. Our schedules worked out and he was able to come by the next morning and was finished well before noon -- Everything installed, working and cleaned up less than a day after I called him(!).
I know I'll be calling him again for my next project!"

"Seven yrs ago I bought my first house which needed electrical work, I got three bids and as soon as I met Thomas with Classic Electric I knew he was who I would hire. He was fair, honest, upfront and knew what he was doing. I was so pleased with his work, flexibility and suggestions for lighting then that when I bought my new house recently which needed major electrical work, Classic Electric was the only company I would even consider! Given my positive experience with Classic Electric in the past I had high expectations. Thomas exceeded those expectations and then some! He made sure each aspect of the job, which I added to on a regular basis, was done timely, efficiently and perfect! I highly recommend Classic Electric!"

"Thomas was the greatest. He is very intelligent, professional, fast, and I felt he was reasonably priced. He shared information with anything he did. He saved our lives, literally.

5 STAR REVIEW
"Thomas and Classic Electric represent what you want in a contractor. It was evident from the beginning that he has a passion for his craft and is a true professional. Thomas installed two new outlets in our 50 yr. old home. What impressed me most was he took 15-20 minutes of his own time to thoroughly investigate and understand our electrical system before bidding on our small project. I doubt another contractor would have given up his time so freely. In addition, he facilitated the inspection process with the county. It was apparent the during the inspection the inspector was impressed with the quality of the work. I would definitely recommend Classic Electric."

"We did a remodel of our 1970's home, and Thomas was by far our FAVORITE professional. He had vision for our home with light placement, outlet functionality, panel adjustments, and laying ground work for electrical projects we would like to do in the future. He was reliable, thorough, knowledgeable, and friendly. With the exception of a couple add-on projects that we initiated, Thomas's initial estimate was the amount of the final bill, regardless of hiccups encountered along the way.
Hiring Thomas was the best choice we made in our remodel, and I couldn't recommend him any more highly!"

5 STAR REVIEW
"We got a bid to add some 220V outlets to our garage for some shop equipment. I know the fundamentals of electrical stuff but that's about it. He came out and we were out of space on our panel and had a sub panel already, we were just out of room in our 1976 house with a 125AMP line. We ended up replacing the panel, line, meter adding the 220V outlets (2) and 4 canned lights. Tons of work, not a ton of money. The old panel looked like a birds nest from hell with wire leading now where and aluminum and copper lines wire nutted together. We got a new panel with 200AMP, cleaned up the lines, and he added the breakers at the meter. The panel is sweet, tons of room to grow. He was very good at explaining things, follow-up, customer service and reasonable prices. I would hire him again in a heartbeat."

"Thomas did an amazing job on our remodel job. The quote seemed high, but he guaranteed that it wouldn't change no matter what was discovered mid job. Our couple day job turned into a two week job, but the final result was better than we could have imagined. He worked effectively, communicated well, and worked around our crazy remodel schedule (we were our own general contractor). No matter the size of the project, I will definitely use Thomas and Classic Electric again."

5 STAR REVIEW
"You will not find a better electrician than Thomas with Classic Electric. We had our 1928 home updated to 200 amp service, as well as numerous other upgrades throughout our home. On his initial walkthrough, Thomas suggested several things we should do to receive a more accurate (and justifiable) estimate and he would come back to re-evaluate. So we labeled some problem outlets, created an opening for the attic, etc… No other electrician had bothered to suggest this approach which resulted in their vague and over-estimated numbers. But Thomas’ estimate was detailed, competitive and left us knowing exactly what to expect. The work was started the exact time and day that was promised. He started and finished each day like clockwork. Before leaving, he would clean up, remove all trash and walk through the progress for the day. The level of professionalism and courtesy was always at 10. Aside from the stellar day-to-day experience, I would consider Thomas a sage and an artist when it comes to wiring. Knowing a bit about electrical myself, I had plenty of questions to ask and he was eager to share his 20 years of knowledge and experience. He would also explain where certain changes were being made, and that extra work was being added to ensure the job was not only finished as spec’d but that it met his high aesthetic and quality standards — quickly following with “I’m not charging extra, I just want this to be right.” Needless to say, everything was completed to our satisfaction and beyond. Thanks Thomas!"

"I have called on Thomas twice now and both times he did two very important things. #1 -he answered the phone #2 -showed up when he said he was going to. In addition he was very professional, did a good job and was very fair in what he charged. He even tried to walk me through a solution over the phone before coming out so that we wouldn't have to un-necessarily charge me. I highly recommend Thomas at Classic Electric."

"Thomas is the ultimate professional! I had a large remodel done on my 1905 historic home. I got 3 estimates from different electrical companies and I only wanted Thomas to do the work because I could tell that as the owner and master electrician he has the most knowledge. Also, when I interviewed him for the job he was the most enthusiastic about my home and the project. He helped me design the lighting styles and layout and I am very happy with how it all turned out. Thomas, the owner, was on the job every day - they didn't just send out some guy to work on my house. He was always on time and on schedule. He continually asked about my needs and made sure they were being met. Another great thing is that he packed out his own garbage so I wasn't left to deal with all of it. I would highly recommend Thomas at Classic Electric for any residential remodel project!"

"Thomas provided a very high level of service for a reasonable price. He wired a 220v plug into my garage for a table saw, but the panel was out of space. Adding an additional wrinkle, we had an illegally modified breaker that needed to be replaced and moved to one of the coveted twin locations (location capable of splitting a single breaker into two). Although not part of the scope of the quote he moved nearly every breaker to free up the appropriate twinning locations to make it work. Thomas was willing to explain the problems as well as provide solutions so I could make informed decisions. Will recommend him to others, and use him again if needed. 5 Star."

"Had a problem with my Kitchen GFCI outlet. Changed out 2 new outlets and couldn't get either of them to work after following the written and YouTube instructions and hours of frustration. Called Classic Electric and talked to Thomas who patiently walked me through what I was doing wrong over the phone. Made the changes myself after the phone call and problem was solved in 5 mintues. Thomas saved me a service call for an easy fix. Thank you Thomas. You were 3 for 3 last week. Would highly recommend!"

"In a day and age when it's difficult to get quality service, Thomas is as good as it gets. Not only is he prompt in putting an appointment on the calendar, his work is absolutely exceptional.

"Had a new electric vehicle charging station to install which needed a dedicated 240V line running through a panel with no open slots. While another place might have charged thousands to put in a sub-panel, Thomas simply put in new breakers to re-use an existing slot and performed the entire job in a couple of hours for a n excellent price. Thomas was responsive, helpful, and professional. The inspector only took a few seconds to check out Thomas' work before approving it because according to the inspector, "Thomas' customers love him and he does great work." Yes he does."

"I can't say enough great things about Thomas and Classic Electric. We recently purchased a home in Tualatin, and quickly found that the electrical work done in the kitchen was shoddy at best. After he walked me through several trouble-shooting steps over the phone, Thomas came out on a Saturday morning, diagnosed the issues and got everything fixed. He took the time to explain the nature of the problem and taught us a little bit about electrical work along the way. An honest company that is clearly customer focused. Would highly recommend Classic Electric -in fact, we have been singing their praises to anyone who will listen."

"I wish all contractors were like Thomas: Dependable, quick, friendly, and knowledgeable.
My partner and I hired him to install two outlets in each of our bathrooms, and he did an excellent job. He exceeded our expectations and we were very satisfied with his level of service.
During the initial consultation, he made suggestions that were sensitive to our needs and budget. We liked that he was punctual, very communicative throughout all stages of the project, and even went so far as to organize the electrical box so that all the wires were clean and safe. (He didn't charge us for that extra hour, which was really nice of him.)
I'd definitely recommend his service to anyone looking for an electrician who is professional, responsible, and knows their stuff. Thank you Thomas!"

"We had Classic Electric come out shortly after we moved in to our property summer of 2014. We finally got around to checking pricing against a couple other contractors and went with Thomas for our work. He came out in November, 2014.
Scope of work was to install a recessed outlet into an existing circuit for our wall mounted TV. Run coax cable for the TV so that we could add an antenna at some point and run an ethernet cable to our closet where we added another outlet for the internet router.
There are really no negatives with Classic Electric. Thomas is upfront and honest about what he does, his pricing, and shows a sense of integrity rarely seen with service providers these days. In other words, he tells you what he's going to do and he does it. Having worked with contractors over the years in California and now in Oregon its very refreshing to find someone who is upfront, open, and honest about his business. Not to mention, he's on-time, neat, and professional. We have found our go to guy for all future electrical work."

Thomas promptly returned my call and he fit us into his schedule to come out and give us a quote the next day. He went above and beyond to look at other potential issues besides what we had originally asked him about, to make sure that we were well informed. He never pushed to get the sale and instead gave us his honest opinion which protected us from purchasing a home which likely would have caused us many problems. We are very thankful for his time and expert advice."

As part of the job, we discovered we were in need of some other electrical upgrades in our house and Thomas managed all of those seamlessly.

"Thomas was awesome and gave #1 Customer Service. I recently purchased a very old home with lots of electrical needs. Thomas came into the meeting and was very helpful and informative. He explained in layman terms what the issues were that he saw. He sat down and spent time with me and made sure I understood what was needed to be done. Unfortunately, due to conflicting schedules, Thomas was unable to do the work. But, he pointed me in the right direction, gave me pointers for when I do hire a electrician and also share pricing of some items so I would not be taken advantage of. Owning an old house, you work with a lot of contractors I greatly appreciated the time he took with me; about 45 minutes even when he knew he was not able to take the job. And it was on a Sunday morning. Thank you Thomas for you sincerity and sharing your expertise. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Classic Electric."

"Thomas Adams, the owner of Classic Electric transformed my spec home into one that people think was custom built home upon entry. I had him either change existing fixtures or install new circuits, chandeliers and switches literally in every room. The best thing about the entire two week job was that not one single hole was drilled or cut into sheetrock that had to be repaired or touched up afterward. It was if I had every circuit pre-wired during construction (which the spec builder refused to do). Thomas and Classic Electric is the only electric company I will ever use and he gets my highest rating!"

"Have used Classic Electric for many years now. This Company's work is always perfect, they make time for my electrical projects and their pricing is reasonable. Thomas and his wife/partner Abby go out of their way to be helpful and find the best lowest cost solution to my electrical projects. Best of all, Thomas always shows up when he says that he will. Wouldn't use anyone else for my electrical projects. Also, this Company does it all, most recently, my project was the design/installation of a wall mount flat screen TV and related audio equipment. Not a run of the mill installation due to the lay out of the room. Thomas and Abby listened to what I wanted and they delivered, beautiful clean install. Can't ask for more than what this Company provides."

"This is my third remodeling project and working with my third electrician. Thomas Adams is truly amazing on many different levels. First, he is quick to respond whether by phone, text or email. Secondly, he did an incredible job on the the wiring and set up for the custom entertainment center and was very creative in figuring out how to make all the components work and look good! Thirdly, he is meticulous and incredibly clean.
Add to this, his wife and partner, Abby, who took over and set up my new Smart TV and made calls to Samsung and Comcast to get answers for the set up. They stayed until everything was complete and working. And then went home and did some research on their own about wireless speakers I have in the living room and figured out how to make those work as well!
Classic Electric is truly the best and I can not say enough about the caliber of their work!!
On a scale of 1-10, they are a 20!!!"

"GREAT service! I needed to have lighting installed after a remodel and called 4 electricians. Not only was Thomas the only one who called me back, he returned my call promptly and set up an appointment for the next week. He showed up when he said he would, called ahead to confirm, and got back to me later the same day with a quote for services. The work he did was excellent - he wired and hung one large chandelier on an 11' cord, and wired and hung two pendant lights. Some of the work was tricky to figure out due to existing walls, ceiling heights, etc. but Thomas was able to determine how to best (and safely) accommodate our needs. Thomas specializes in working without leaving holes in drywall, and true to his word, he was very careful not to leave us with any drywall patching to do. I would definitely hire Thomas to do any electrical work in the future, and will highly recommend him to friends and family."

"EXCELLENT SERVICE! Thomas met with my wife and I over the weekend and gave us several estimates based on our priorities and what we could afford. The work he performed was top notch and done at a very reasonable price. I cannot say enough good things about this company and the outstanding service we received from Classic Electric. As Ed McMahon used to say: "FIVE STARS!!!"

"I've used many electrical contractors in my business, and I happened to stumble upon Classic Electric about 3 years ago. I was impressed by how quickly Thomas came out to the site and advised me on pricing and options. He has done work now for several of my clients and I had him out to my home a few weeks ago. He was fast, good, and tried to save me money by offering options and advice. HE is the best and I always call Classic first!"

"First off, Thomas didn't charge us for this visit as thanks for the larger job he did to basically make our extensive landscape lighting service operational. We've been in our house for a little more than six years (it's in a rural setting) and we've been dealing with the after-effects of a poor wiring installation that we hope to avoid replacing in its entirety.
Lights were constantly burning out, the electrical load was misplaced, yet Thomas came in and quickly cleaned up those problems (again, these problems were the result of installation long BEFORE we'd met Thomas) and our system's been working perfectly ever since.
We've used him for a couple of smaller interior projects and we've always been very, very pleased with his level of expertise and service. We'd use him again in a heartbeat."

"I was referred to Classic Electric by one of my business associates. They did an OUTSTANDING job on my project. Thomas communicated with me on a daily basis regarding this difficult project. They came up with incredibly creative lighting solutions for dark spaces in my 70's fixer. I would highly recommend them for any electrical project you may have. They left my home clean of debris, new fixtures, new panel installed, done on time and as quoted.
By far, the best electrical contractor I have ever used!"

"To Whom It May Concern: I had a great experience hiring Classic Electric to install a new electrical panel and move our PGE meter to the other side of the garage to meet a code. Thomas Adams, the owner, was very professional. He communicated to me about the bid, what I needed and what I did not need. He does not like to add on a bunch of stuff that would cost me more but put more money into his pocket. I appreciate his honesty. He gave us a fair bid. He arrived when he said he would, did his job and left after a long day. He ran out of time to finish the job to his expectations, so, instead of rushing to finish, he choose to finish the details the next day. We were up and running with power, but he came back the next day and did time consuming details like straightening the wires, caulking the openings and cleaning up. He gave himself more time to do the job right. Thomas just likes to do a professional job. I had to ask him to come back two separate times and diagnosis a couple of problems that I thought were part of the installation. They turned out to be a problem in my house wiring. But you need to know that Thomas was quick in adjusting his schedule, returning to make sure his work was correct. He had a great attitude and I appreciated his extra effort to make sure I was happy. I can easy recommend Classic Electric."

"Kitchen remodel. Fabulous job. Lots of rewiring on an old house, brought everything up to code! Installed all new lighting throughout the house, creative solutions. Meticulous, hardworking and honest. Let me know what could and could not be done. He stuck to codes and regulations for my safety and that of my home. His forthrightness was much appreciated. He explains everything thoroughly. The utmost in integrity and professionalism. This is my second time using his services and I would hire him again in a minute. Highly recommended."

"Thomas showed up exactly on time. I showed him what I wanted and he gave me an estimate. When I told him that I had commitments on the day he proposed to do the work he said he could do it right now, today. I really appreciated that. After they went to get some material they started right in. The work was completed in about three hours. I probably could have been quicker if I hadn't constantly been in the way. Installation was clean and exactly what I wanted. Kudos to Thomas and his helper."

"We had a problem with our kitchen outlets not working even after resetting. We called Thomas and described the problem. He knew exactly what the problem was AND he was able to come to our home that day! After researching, he found an additional problem and corrected it as well. Our home was built in 1996 so the wiring did not have the same regulations as today. We have not had any problems since. We will definitely call Classic Electric with any electrical issues from now on."

"Amazing. I called four different companies because I wanted to get someone out quickly. My first call back was from Thomas. He responded about 10 minutes after leaving a voice mail at his office. He said he was out at a site but thought he might have time to swing by and give me an estimate and determine the problem after he finished the project he was working on. He said he'd give me a call if he was going to be able to make it work, otherwise he'd get us in tomorrow. He called about 3 hours later and said he could come by. He arrived promptly, was very friendly and professional, did some trouble shooting of the problem and made a few quick adjustments and voila now we have power again. He suggested a solution to prevent it from happening again that I'll definitely have him come back out for. He was here about 20 minutes and didn't charge me a penny. Other companies would have charged their hourly rate just for the house call, even though it was a quick fix. I would definitely call him again!"

"I called Thomas for an estimate. He came right out, which is more than I can say for the other electricians I called. His manner was friendly but business-like. He and Brian looked at everything, asked lots of questions, and sent me a bid very promptly. Thomas kept me in the loop every step of the way and always asked what I wanted and what would make me happy. Having excellent, trustworthy, competent contractors made me super happy!
These guys worked HARD. When there was dirt left over from the trench digging, they asked if I'd like them to put it in the back yard for my new garden. They gave me pointers on how to fix other things around the house so I could do them myself. They even tried to help me with a garden bed I was digging up, but couldn't get the trencher into the back yard.
I will be calling them back when I pull out the ugly gas furnace in the middle of the livingroom and put in an electric system."

"My husband and I have an old home early 1920s and the electrical was a hodge-podge of the past decades. We knew there were things that we needed, but as a whole system didn't know how to integrate all of the parts to make the electrical work more reliably. Thomas came by twice to discuss options, suggest upgrades and help us determine what choices to make to stay within in our predetermined budget. He was extremely punctual, professional and communicated what was happening from day to day. As with most old homes he ran into some odd situations - like 2 inches of concrete in one of our kitchen walls! but I feel like Thomas took the unexpected in stride and completed the project on budget.
Thomas is very confident in his work and there's a reason for it - he's really good at what he does and he goes the extra mile to make sure things are up to a very high standard. I would rehire and recommend him to do electrical work."

"Came several times and did extensive research on property, online and with county personnel before making an estimate. Checked into heating equipment to meet business expectations and connected lights, heat and outlets to accommodate my convenience. Finished before my deadline.
Mr. Adams was always professional, helpful and NOT condescending to me as a layperson. His assistant, Brian, was as equally hard working, on time and courteous.
They also did a side job in the Main house and had a thorough knowledge of the wiring problems in a manufactured home.
Would recommend Classic Electric for ANY work you may have - new wiring, remodeling installation or correction, home, barn, hot tub - whatever you need electrically, Mr. Adams and crew is the professional you want to hire."

"My experience was excellent, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Classic Electric to anyone needing electrical service. After reading multiple reviews on Google, I placed a call to Classic Electric when I found myself in need of an electrician. I'm very glad I did. I contacted Thomas by Email, and was easily able to set up a time around my hectic nightshift schedule. Thomas was punctual, professional, and friendly. From the information I was able to pass onto him he arrived with a plan, and within an hours time was able to completely solve my electrical problem. What I appreciated the most was that Thomas explained things in terms that made sense to me. This is the type of service that a homeowner always hopes to receive. Thank you Classic Electric."

"The service I've received from Classic Electric has been outstanding and it reflects the attitude of the company in my opinion. I say this because they did everything they said they would do and when they would do it. Personally I just don't see that type of service these days; they provide classic old fashioned quality and customer service.
I'm of an age where quality, service and honesty used to be the norm, the standard, you had to do those things just to compete. But that's not always true anymore. I was referred to Classic Electric by a friend who used their service who had nothing but good things to say. And from the moment I contacted them I was treated the same way.
They returned my call promptly. They're very knowledgeable and friendly. We scheduled a time for them to come onsite and they were punctual. Thomas was the electrician and he explained the electrical details of the work I needed done in a way that I could understand. He wasn't technical. He told me what my options were, the approximate cost and the date he could do the work. I said, "That sounds fine, I'll need a written estimate." And early the next morning I received his estimate. The quality of his work is very good. There is pride in the craftsmanship to get it right . . . just the way it used to be. It's Classic!"

"Finally an electrical contractor I trust! Classic Electric was recommended to me by the a trusted strategic partner. The lighting in our kitchen was so outdated. We have a long row of can lights that light up the whole neighborhood but never seems to give enough light in just the area you need it. Thomas took the call. He scheduled us right away. He had great ideas on how to give us the levels of lighting we needed just where we needed it. The bid was in the ballpark and delivered in 24 hours. He scheduled around our countertop installations to make it easy on us and even made a special trip to pull wires while the countertop installation was in process. I had a chance to talk to Thomas while he was working. He really knows his stuff. Best of all, he left my house cleaner than when he arrived. If it were not for the great new lighting you would not know he had been at all. Thanks Thomas and Classic. Great job!"

We are THRILLED with the lighting in our home. HIGHLY recommend the professional quality of Classic Electric!"

"I admit it. I am terrified of hiring service providers.I don't understand the time or the cost needed for most projects and that puts me (and most of the buying public) at a disadvantage. I am always skeptical and afraid I will be charged for something I do not need or for more time than it actually takes to get the work done. It is so nice to come out of an expereince feeling I got more than I paid for.
A few weeks ago I called Thomas from Classic Electric. I had a small job, one many electrical contractors would not even consider taking. I am sure their tyipical job is much larger than this one but Thomas made me feel like I was the only client he was working with. He took the time to hear the details of my problem, dropped by to take a look and then suggested a soluttion that actually saved me money (imagine that?)! He picked up the parts and installed the solution in just a few minutes. No messing around! No charging me for time to and from! No hidden costs. While he was doing the installation I learned that he specializes in remodeling projects where wires need to be concealed. I signed him right up to come back in April to help with my kitchen remodel. He gave me a bid but I truly did not need one. He is my new resource for electrical work of all kinds. I know he will treat me."

"Thomas Adams, the owner of Classic Electric is the ONLY electrical contractor I will ever use again! I tried one of those 2 hour specials from another company when I bought my new home and he didn’t improve my electrical in anyway noticeable and ended up charging me really high prices for parts. So, the deal wasn’t a deal at all and nothing important was accomplished. So, when I needed more work done, I went with a referral and I am so happy I did. Thomas installed new light fixtures, sub cabinet lighting, garage lighting, switches, plugs and fixed a myriad of electrical issues left from the previous owner of my home. Some of the electrical was dangerous and we were lucky there wasn’t a fire. I know next to nothing about lighting, so Thomas gave me some really clever design ideas. He even put four dimmer switches in my kitchen (after he put in can lights that made sense). Our garage had two little light bulbs, so he changed them out for two rows of 8 fluorescents. The whole garage lights up now and I don’t know how anyone lived with it before. I can’t imagine getting a better deal from another company and everything was done to perfection and in a timely manner. I give Classic Electric my highest recommendation!"

"I called in Thomas Adams to put in sub-cabinet lighting and install a couple of lights. We ended up adding the garage lighting and several other projects because he did such a great job and had really good ideas of what kind of lighting would be good for my space. My kitchen had can lights with fluorescent bulbs that took forever to warm up. He switched out the can lights to something more energy efficient that provides superior lighting and he put all the lights on dimmer switches. The sub-cabinet lighting is on a dimmer switch too. The lighting has made such a difference in my kitchen and I love, love, love it! The garage had two little 75 watt light bulbs that were pretty much useless, so he switched that out for two rows of fluorescents for a total of 8 lights. Now, we can see everything and actually get some work done! I guess the previous owner did much of his own electrical and there were several issues which were very dangerous because of bad wiring. Thomas is very meticulous and conscientious. I wouldn't trust anyone else with something as important as electricity. Now, I refer Thomas to everyone I know; clients, family and friends alike. I give Classic Electric my highest recommendation!"

"I can't say enough great things about Thomas and Classic Electric. We recently purchased a home in Tualatin, and quickly found that the electrical work done in the kitchen was shoddy at best. After he walked me through several trouble-shooting steps over the phone, Thomas came out on a Saturday morning, diagnosed the issues and got everything fixed. He took the time to explain the nature of the problem and taught us a little bit about electrical work along the way. An honest company that is clearly customer focused. Would highly recommend Classic Electric -in fact, we have been singing their praises to anyone who will listen."
