About Brightline Electric
Portland-owned, safety-obsessed, and committed to tidy, code-perfect work since 2011.
Built on Clean Work and Straight Answers
Brightline Electric was founded in 2011 by Dana Whitfield, a master electrician who spent a decade wiring custom homes and got tired of watching corners get cut behind drywall. The idea was simple: do the kind of electrical work you'd want in your own house, and never make a homeowner guess what they're paying for.
What started as one van and a label maker has grown into a team of nine licensed electricians — but the habits haven't changed. Flat quotes before work starts. Drop cloths at the door. Every circuit tested, every panel labeled, every question answered in plain English.
Portland's housing stock is our specialty: we've rewired hundred-year-old craftsman homes, brought mid-century panels up to code, and readied hundreds of garages for EVs. Whatever era your home is from, we'll meet it where it is — and leave it safer than we found it.
Get in TouchOur Core Values
Safety First
Electrical work is unforgiving of shortcuts. We follow code to the letter, pull permits when they're required, and test every circuit twice before we sign off.
Transparency
No hourly meter running, no surprise line items. You get a flat quote up front, options explained honestly, and a walkthrough of exactly what we did.
Craft
Straight runs, labeled breakers, patched walls, swept floors. The parts you see and the parts you don't get the same level of care — guaranteed for 5 years.
Kind Words
"They installed our EV charger two days after we called — permit, rebate paperwork, everything handled. The electrician even labeled the new breaker and showed us the app setup. Effortless."
"Our 1926 craftsman still had knob-and-tube in half the walls. Brightline rewired the whole house in a week, patched tidily, and the flat quote never moved. Worth every penny for the peace of mind."
"Half our café went dark on a Saturday morning. Their emergency electrician was here in 40 minutes, found a failed breaker, and had us pouring coffee again before the brunch rush. Incredible service."
