Most standard outlet or switch installations take between two to four hours, depending on the location and whether we need to run new wiring through walls. Relocations typically require slightly longer, as we route the circuit to a new location and patch the old outlet area. In Portland’s older homes and properties common in areas like Milwaukie and Gresham, we often find existing wiring layouts that require careful routing to avoid structural elements and ensure safe placement.
