A-Boy Plumbing & Electrical Supply, NE Portland

With an abundance of electrical and plumbing materials, it would be easy to confuse A-Boy with a national retailer. However, the self-described “bathroom and kitchen remodel experts” are indeed local and have all your plumbing and electrical needs covered. Looking for circuit breakers or ceiling fans? Check. Bathtubs? Yep, that too. And everything else from sinks to toilets and water heaters. Anything over $99 will be shipped for free, as well. What’s not to like about this local alternative to Home Depot? Jeff Lynott, 5/17/2012
