What Coho Electric does

Coho Electric Co. is a privately held, founder-owned electrical contracting business headquartered in Wilsonville, Oregon, serving customers in the Portland metro area. The company specializes in residential and light commercial electrical services, including service calls, additions and remodels, service changes and upgrades, new home wiring, troubleshooting, property management work, tenant space improvements, and building maintenance.

The business is co-owned by Phil Kidd and Mark Overfield, who collectively bring over 40 years of electrical industry experience and were both born and raised in the local area. Coho Electric operates as a small local team of experienced electricians with no disclosed technology platform, proprietary software, or automation infrastructure. The company's only digital presence is a basic informational website providing contact details and a service overview.

Coho Electric generates revenue through one-time, project-based service fees for individual electrical jobs. Its go-to-market is direct-to-consumer: customers initiate contact via phone (503-582-9774) or email ([email protected]), and services are delivered on-site. Customer acquisition relies almost entirely on word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business, with no formal marketing, paid advertising, or partnerships documented in the available data.
