Code Corrections & Repair of Home Inspector Flagged Items
Our Services
Professional Electrical Repairs for Home Inspection Reports in Wilsonville, Lake Oswego & the Portland Metro
When a licensed home inspector identifies electrical issues during a real estate transaction, those items must be corrected by a qualified electrician — and often quickly. At Boones Ferry Electric, we specialize in repairing, correcting, and bringing electrical systems up to code after a home inspection has been completed.
We do not perform home inspections. We do perform the electrical repairs required after an inspection.
We serve Wilsonville, Lake Oswego, Tualatin, West Linn, Sherwood, Portland, and surrounding areas, providing fast, clean, code-compliant repairs that help buyers, sellers, and realtors move forward with confidence.
