Lighting design for Lake Oswego remodels
In a remodel where the finish matters as much as the function, a lighting plan pays off: a kitchen with layered light, a living room that works for a dinner party and a quiet evening, a deck or path lit without glare. It's far cheaper to get fixture placement and dimming right before the drywall goes up than after.
Our master electrician comes to your home, walks the space with you, and puts together a full lighting design: fixture placement, ambient, task, and accent layers, dimmers and smart controls, all built to code and ready to install. If you're working with an interior designer or architect, we'll work alongside them so their plan can actually be wired. The consultation is normally $499, or $199 with the $300 coupon.

- Backup generators for tree-lined streets where winter storms can take power down

Who issues electrical permits in Lake Oswego?
The City of Lake Oswego Building Division handles electrical permits and inspections for addresses inside city limits, and the city has its own electrical inspector. Contractors apply for trade permits, including electrical, through the State of Oregon's online e-permitting system, and inspections are scheduled online or by phone.
Lake Oswego sits mostly in Clackamas County, with parts of the city reaching into Washington and Multnomah counties. If your home is inside city limits, the city is the permit office no matter which county it's in. If your address is just outside the city line, a county office may issue the permit instead. We confirm which office covers your address and pull the permit as part of the job.
Which utility serves Lake Oswego?
Lake Oswego is in PGE territory. If you're adding a Level 2 charger, PGE's Smart Charging program may offer rebates for the charger and, in some cases, a related panel upgrade. Our post on PGE's panel upgrade rebate for EV chargers explains how it works. You need to check and confirm your own eligibility directly with PGE. Nexus Electrical Group does not apply for, process, or guarantee rebates.
Lake Oswego electrical FAQ
Who issues electrical permits in Lake Oswego?
For homes inside city limits, the City of Lake Oswego Building Division issues electrical permits and does the inspections. We pull the permit as part of the job.
Can you work with my interior designer or architect?
Yes. Our master electrician can review their plans or create the lighting design with them, so fixture locations, switching, and dimming work as drawn.
Is a SPAN smart panel worth it for a larger home?
It can be. A SPAN panel shows how much power each circuit uses and lets you control circuits from an app, which helps when you're managing an EV charger, a generator, or a battery. Whether it fits depends on your home and goals.
Do you install EV chargers for two-car households?
Yes. Two chargers can sometimes share capacity with load management. A load calculation shows whether your service can handle both or needs an upgrade.
Do you have an office in Lake Oswego?
No. We're based in Beaverton and serve Lake Oswego and the rest of the Portland metro, including nearby Portland and Milwaukie.
