    Your Local Team, Rooted in Shoreline’s Community

    Since 1976, our family-owned business has grown alongside communities like Shoreline. We know this city—the neighborhoods, the homes, and the people—and we understand the unique electrical challenges that come with caring for homes in the Pacific Northwest. Whether it’s a century-old Craftsman with vintage wiring or a newly built home embracing modern tech, our licensed electricians bring skill, care, and a friendly smile to every job. We don’t just fix problems; we build lasting relationships. When you call us, you’re not just a job number—you’re a neighbor.

      Electrical Services Designed Around Your Needs

      No two homes or families are alike, and neither are their electrical needs. That’s why we offer a comprehensive suite of services designed with flexibility and quality in mind:

      • Electrical Installations & Panel Upgrades
        From adding extra outlets in a home office to upgrading your service panel to match today’s energy demands, we tailor our work to keep your system safe and efficient.
      • Custom Lighting Solutions
        We help set the mood and boost security with well-planned interior and exterior lighting installations. Whether it’s ambient lighting for cozy family rooms or bright, motion-activated lights around your yard, we’ve got it covered.
      • Safety First with Protective Devices
        From installing smoke and carbon monoxide detectors to surge protectors that shield your electronics, our priority is your family’s safety.
      • Rewiring & Wiring Inspections
        Older homes sometimes struggle under the weight of modern appliances. We assess your wiring’s condition and upgrade where needed to meet current safety codes.
      • Backup Generators & Power Solutions
        Washington weather can be unpredictable, but that doesn’t mean your power should be. We install reliable generators to keep your home functioning when the grid doesn’t.

      A Typical Day on the Job in Shoreline

      Picture this: It’s a crisp fall morning in Shoreline. Alex, one of our seasoned electricians, arrives at a homeowner’s house, greeted by the soft rustling of leaves and a warm smile. The family’s kitchen lighting has been flickering, causing frustration and concern. Alex thoroughly inspects the electrical panel and traces the culprit—aging wiring struggling with today’s power loads. After calmly walking the family through their options, he gets to work, installing new wiring and adding under-cabinet LED lighting that brightens the whole room. By the time he packs up, the kitchen is transformed—both safer and more inviting for countless future meals and gatherings.

      The Gene Johnson Difference: More Than Just Service

      What truly sets us apart in Shoreline isn’t just our technical knowledge, but how we approach every home and family. We believe in transparency: No hidden fees, no rushed jobs. You get clear explanations, honest pricing, and a friendly technician who treats your home with respect. We show up on time, work cleanly, and leave you feeling confident about the job done. That’s why neighbors come back to us time and again—not just for electrical work but for plumbing, heating, and cooling as well.

      Thinking Ahead: Why Preventative Care Matters

      Electrical issues often creep up slowly—an outlet that doesn’t quite work, a breaker that trips now and then. Small annoyances can be early signs of bigger problems. That’s why regular electrical inspections and maintenance are so important. We recommend scheduling a check-up every few years, especially if you live in an older home or are planning renovations. Preventing hazards before they arise is the safest, smartest way to protect your home and loved ones.

      Choosing Your Electrical Service Provider

      Picking a reliable electrician in Shoreline isn’t something to take lightly. Here’s what you should keep in mind:

      • Licensed and Insured Professionals – It’s essential your electrician meets state requirements and is fully insured to protect your home.
      • Experience You Can Trust – Longevity in the community, real customer testimonials, and a track record of quality work speak volumes.
      • Comprehensive Offerings – Look for a company that can meet all your needs under one roof, eliminating the hassle of juggling multiple contractors.
      • Clear, Upfront Pricing – No surprises means you can plan your project without stress.
      • Emergency Availability – Power outages and electrical failures don’t always happen during office hours. Having a team ready when you need it makes all the difference.

      At Gene Johnson, we check every box because we’re as invested in your home’s safety as you are.

      Great experience! Joseph was able to quickly fix a difficult and urgent problem. Joseph has a wealth of experience, is very professional and explained the solution step by step – exceeding our expectations. We would ask for Joseph again.

      We got notice from our water utility that their system flagged a slow leak in our system. Anna called them, very helpful. We troubleshot as best we could and came up empty. We called Gene Johnson and explained what we knew and didn’t know, scheduling a technician Friday morning. Branson Carr showed up as scheduled, we went over the situation and he started a well organized trouble diagnosis. In the end, he believed that we don’t actually have a leak, but something else. We discussed it together and in the course of breaking the system to smaller units found he couldn’t totally isolate something the utility would believe was a slow leak. Eventually he he believed it was the two valves that were likely the culprit. We had been experiencing episodic low water flow in some of our fixtures, but they came back in time. We explored that with our different background and concluded the apparent slow leak observed by the utility was likely the result of a faulty main supply valve, causing pressure drop in the system, taking some time to recharge to the rated pressure supplied by the utility, mimicking a prolonged slow leak. He recommended replacing the old gate valve with a new ball valve. I asked if we could install a leak detection/shut down capability that is readily available. He did so quickly and we noticed immediate return to the home’s original functionality.
      I was very impressed with the advanced features of the monitoring and shut down, even moreso when we learned of it’s remote notices, remote control and monitoring abilities.
      Branson is an excellent plumber and diagostician. He worked quickly, spending time with us until he was comfortable with the intricacies of this system.
      I definitely will not hesitate to recommend him to others.

      Tyler was prompt and professional. There was no upselling just straightforward information. He assessed it, informed us of the water heater failure, and they proceeded to get everything installed in the same day. Great work and easy to recommend.

      Noah Amini did an outstanding job. He evaluated our needs and came back 2 days later to put a backflow valve in our sewer line to prevent rats from entering our toilet. Gene Johnson will be called next time I need plumbing work done.

      We have used Gene Johnson Plumbing for many years. We most recently had need for a clogged drain to be unplugged in an upstairs bathroom of a rental property. The appointment was prompt and Jaren was right on time. He communicated very clearly what the job would entail and the related costs. He was professional and got the drain cleared quickly with minimal disruption to our tenants. He discussed what he found in follow-up to clearing the drain and future options that would be of benefit and help to prevent further clogs. The price for his service was reasonable and we highly recommend Gene Johnson Plumbing and will continue to use them for our future plumbing needs.

      I had what I thought was a minor water leak GJP was responded quickly and communication was thorough including multiple confirmation texts. A nice text about Brandon who is the tech that was coming, including an ETA. Response was timely and they arrived when promised as it turned out a small leak was a much bigger problem. A through the process. It was explained to me what they were finding and various options to fix the problem. It could not be fixed immediately, but the initial service at a minimum stopped the immediately leak and returned cold water to service. I have received multiple options in how to solve the greater issue. Highly recommend.
