Owner-operated. The same Master Electrician who quotes the job is accountable for the finished work.
About GoodnowCape Elizabeth is home to Portland Head Light, Fort Williams Park, and some of the most beautiful residential properties on the Maine coast. The homes here -- along Shore Road, Ocean House Road, and the neighborhoods surrounding Two Lights -- range from meticulously preserved historic estates to modern custom builds, and each one requires an electrician who pays attention to detail.
Coastal living in Cape Elizabeth means dealing with salt air, high winds, and the occasional nor'easter that knocks out power for days. We install whole-house generators with automatic transfer switches, upgrade weathered outdoor panels and service entrances, and wire dedicated circuits for sump pumps and backup systems that keep Cape Elizabeth families comfortable during storms.
Many homeowners in Cape Elizabeth are investing in solar panels, EV chargers, and smart home technology. We handle the full electrical integration for these projects -- from running the conduit and wiring to coordinating with solar installers and setting up smart lighting controls. Whatever your Cape Elizabeth property needs, we bring the same owner-on-site accountability and clean workmanship that our reputation is built on.
Cape Elizabeth is home to Portland Head Light, commissioned under George Washington and first lit in 1791 — the oldest lighthouse in Maine and one of the most photographed in the world. It shares the town’s rocky shoreline with the twin towers of Two Lights, the first "twin" lighthouses on the Maine coast, and with Fort Williams Park, a former coastal artillery post turned town park.
Living this close to the open Atlantic is beautiful, but salt air is hard on electrical equipment — corroded outdoor fixtures, weathered service masts, and rusted panel components are common problems this close to the water. We help Cape Elizabeth homeowners choose corrosion-resistant hardware and keep older shorefront homes safely up to code.
Goodnow Electric is a locally owned, owner-operated shop based at 51 Wilson Dr, Westbrook, ME 04092 — not a franchise or a call-center dispatcher. When you hire us in Cape Elizabeth, you get a Maine Master Electrician on the job, not a rotating crew of subcontractors. Our work is performed under Maine Master Electrician license MS60021971, and we're fully licensed, bonded, and insured for every job we take in Cumberland County.
That means the person who quotes your Cape Elizabeth project is the same person accountable for the finished work — permits pulled, code followed, and the site left clean.
We offer the full range of electrical services to Cape Elizabeth residents and businesses.

“Brett and team did a great job installing some lights, switches and outlets in our home. Brett’s team was professional and worked with me to figure out the best locations, size, and number of lights to install in our home. They go above and beyond to make sure the customer is happy.”
