Tice Electric Company was founded in Portland by two brothers, Linton and Arthur Tice, in 1934. The company offices were first located on SE 9th & Hawthorne until 1948. The office moved to SE 21st and Belmont and remained there for 59 years until the move to Swan Island at 5405 N Lagoon Avenue. Tice Electric Company currently has three owners: Patrick Maloney, Michael Podkranic, and Ian McHone.
All have been with Tice since the early 1990s and are active in the day-to-day activities as well as the development and implementation of long-range goals and strategies. Throughout its history, the company successfully completed some of the area's largest and most complex electrical projects.

This is the second time I have hired Tice Electric to perform work in our condominium. Great team to work with! Berniece who runs the administration team is super friendly. Very attentive ti communicate in a timely manner! Ian was our technician today. He is very knowledgeable which made me comfortable in the work getting done right! Ian is thorough, efficient and also communicates very well. I wholeheartedly recommend hiring this great team of people. Thank you Team Tice!

I contacted Tice Electric early in December 2021, for a job to be done January 2022. They were very friendly and willing to come to my home and give me an estimate. They were willing to work with my schedule. They responded to email's quickly, and were quick to answer phone calls. The office staff is very personable and happy to verify that I was still on the schedule since so much time had passed. Ian came to my home on the appointed day, exactly at the time he said.
He was very professional and knowledgeable to project I wanted done. I wanted 50 year old outlets brought up to more current standards. Ian tackled the project effortlessly and completed the job exactly as I wanted. I did hinder him, by having a large piece of furniture in his way for job, but he was able to work around it and complete the job. I am very satisfied and pleased by the job Tice Electric did. I would be happy to recommend them. I would also gladly use their services again in the future Heather

While the technician was nice he did not show up with the proper equipment, even though I was clear what I needed. I requested an electrician to change my plug to either a 3 or 4 prong for my new Samsung dryer. He had to leave to get the equipment. I didn't think much of it. He was nice it took him maybe 10-15 to actually perform the job. It took a few months to get the bill, which I paid immediately.
Because that's how I roll. I didn't say anything when I paid it, but I think it is outrageous to charge for the time it took him to go buy the proper part. I expected the min hour plus to pay for parts. They had the gall to charge me for him going to the store to get what he needed. These people appear incapable of carrying around what they need and have no qualms charging for their time in their vehicle to go buy what they need. Unprofessional. I will not use them again

Kudos to Bernice, Ian, and Kian! We had a short notice job fixing a chandelier and its related switch. Bernice did a great job in finding a way to squeeze us into an already hectic schedule. Ian and Kian showed up and not only did a terrific job but set a positive and professional tone immediately upon arrival. Ian first words were, "Our hands are a little dirty from our prior job.
Before we start, may we wash up so we don't mess up anything in your home?" That is a customer-focused attitude quite apart from their electrical skills. Tice is now our electrical company, and if/when we have an issue, we want those two back!

My family recently moved into a new (to us) home in the area which was in need of various small electrical fixes around the property as indicated by the home inspector. The office responded same day to my voicemail and scheduled a visit within a few business days. Kevin arrived and digested all that we needed done and resolved every issue that we needed in a reasonable amount of time, even helping to explain some additional issues that did not require any immediate action.
The pricing was the within the same range as another contractor had quoted me, but Tice was available more quickly in this case. We are happy with the quality of work and won't hesitate to contact Tice for additional work in the future.

They interacted via email, were able to schedule the appointment within a reasonable period of time, and then Kevin came on time for the appointment with his helper. They found the problem and fixed it reasonably fast, and the charge was pretty much what I expected. It was a good experience and I will use them again.

Nothing fancy, Old house, old wiring, old outlets. 36 hour turnaround from the call to the end. I can build cabinets, turn wood on a lathe, weld, roof, run plumbing and showers, pour foundations. I HATE working with wiring. I'm the guy who gets shocked from touching a rubber hose (not a joke) Oven works perfectly now. Thank you, Frank!

I've had the opportunity to use Tice Electric for my business and personal electrical needs and projects. From replacement of office and warehouse lighting, panel replacement and upgrades as needed. Residential or commercial there is NO project to small or to large for their skill and professional electrical crews. Jim Stumpf Overhead Door Co. of Portland

They came out when I needed them and were very nice. Told me an 8 hour job when they got here but were only here for 3 hours. Most of the time was "getting parts." I'm not sure if this standard practice for electricians but this seems quite unreasonable. Keep a log **dont know how to reply to you but you can look up my phone number. Your guys came out on 2/17 I believe. I live in maywood park

After the ice storm we knew getting an electrician wouldn't be quick, but after calling 4 other companies nobody could even commit to a scheduled appointment due to high demand. I left a message for Tice Electric and by end of day got a callback and an appointment scheduled for that week. We have an old home and no repair ever turns out to be easy, but if replacing our service entrance and meter base was challenging I wouldn't know since Anna and Taylor (think I got his name right?) got right to work and knocked it out quickly.
They were both friendly, hardworking, and professional. If anything I made their job harder with a cluttered garage and attic (sorry!). The prices were very affordable, the work passed inspection, and their efforts allowed us to restore power to our home. I know who to call first now when I need electrical work done. Thanks!

I had a great experience with Tice Electric who did all the electrical for a garage conversion. They were at my house many times and also professional and friendly. They informed me of any changes or potential issues as they come across them and listened to my goals. It was no problem to schedule them and they were always on time and on budget. I highly recommend using Tice for your home!

Tice Electric is without a doubt one of the most capable and ethical electrical contractors I have ever worked with. Despite being a larger company, Tice showed a very human response to an electrical emergency, responding quickly and even pulling an electrician off a less urgent job. Great service!.

Tice has been there for me on numerous occasions as it relates to my own household, but has also helped many of our clients. The breadth of their knowledge is significant and they've helped me to navigate some. fairly complicated waters on projects I have introduced them to. I do not hesitate recommending them to those I know and have confidence that others will have a similar experience.
