A residential electrical company in Cleveland. Terry Ramos started it in 2013 and still owns and manages it.
Terry Ramos
Owner, Shoreway Electric
Thanks for taking a look around. Shoreway Electric does electrical work in single-family homes, two-family houses, condos and small shops in Cleveland, Lakewood and Parma.
Terry knows residential work best: panel upgrades, rewiring older houses, replacing outlets and fixtures, and tracing circuits that trip for no obvious reason.
He gives each estimate after looking at the job in person, and he explains what it covers before work begins. He lays down drop cloths and sweeps up at the end of each day. If something unexpected turns up behind a wall, he calls the customer that day and talks through the options.

The Problems That Send People Looking for an Electrician
In Cleveland the calls tend to start the same way. Something in the house is behaving oddly, and nobody wants to guess about it:
- Lights that flicker when the dryer starts
- A breaker that trips whenever the microwave and the toaster run together
- Outlets that feel warm, or have quit working
- A switch that buzzes
- A faint burning smell near the panel
Each of those has a short list of likely causes, from a circuit carrying more than it was ever meant to, to a loose connection that is heating up at a terminal. Finding which one it is comes first; replacing parts comes after.
The rest of the work is planned rather than urgent: a panel upgrade for a house that has outgrown its service, new circuits and GFCI outlets for a kitchen or a basement, a charger for a new electric car, recessed lighting and ceiling fans, whole-house surge protection, and rewiring an older house before the walls are closed up again.
Older Houses, Two-Families and Small Shops
A good share of the housing here was built long before kitchens held a microwave, a coffee maker and an air fryer, and many two-family houses still split their power in ways that made sense decades ago. Working in those buildings means expecting a mix of old and new wiring behind the same wall, and checking each before connecting anything to it.
Condos and small shops bring their own limits: shared walls, an association’s rules about when work can happen, or a business that needs its lights back on before opening. They are worth mentioning when you ask for a quote.
