Since 1964, our work has helped to shape the developing infrastructure of the communities we operate in, making Reynolds Electric, Inc. one of the most respected names in electrical services.
History
Since 1964, three generations of Reynolds have been providing electrical services in Oregon. Jack Reynolds Sr. laid the foundation by serving the electrical needs of the timber industry in Grants Pass. Learning from his father, Jack Reynolds Jr. built on this foundation by establishing a branch in Lane County. Jeremy Reynold’s ambitions lead to an early aptitude in the electrical field and he has continued to grow the company and its well-respected reputation.
