The electrician customers describe is a troubleshooter. In a January 2019 review, someone whose problem had already defeated other contractors said Travis listened to everything that had been tried and then worked out an efficient way forward. Another customer that same month listed four jobs he had done for them: a hot tub panel and wiring, an outdoor outlet, a house ground-wiring evaluation and repairs, and a subpanel reconfiguration. Abbott Electrical Contractors works out of North Billerica, and its Massachusetts electrician licence, #8709, is active on the state registry under the company's name. Travis Abbott is the owner; Thumbtack shows a completed background check on him, 49 project photos, and self-stated Master Electrician credentials along with Nest Pro certification and fire-alarm training. The written history is dated. Five reviews, all between April 2017 and January 2019, all five stars on Thumbtack, where the company has been hired five times. A November 2018 reviewer who had worked with many contractors called the electrical work incredibly neat and praised his range across building and remodeling. More recently, in March 2025, a commenter on r/massachusetts linked the company's website and described him as a great guy who does good work. The jobs listed run the everyday residential range — wiring repair, lighting, switches and outlets, breaker panels and fuse boxes, generators, ceiling fans, smart-home and doorbell installs, TV mounting. If you have an electrical problem nobody has managed to pin down, this is a reasonable call; diagnosis is exactly what the older reviews describe. Ask for recent references from work like yours and confirm the licence and insurance before booking.
“https://abbottcontractors.com Super cool guy, does a great job.”
“Travis was great! A big storm left us with an urgent electrical issue which he was able to quickly handle.”
Travis was incredibly helpful in both troubleshooting and solving my electrical problem. The issue was not cut and dry and Travis was patient and thoughtful in coming up with an efficient path forward. He took the time to listen to what was already tried by previous contractors and didn't mind (or didn't show that he minded) having me stare over his shoulder so I could learn a thing or two. His contractor experience would have been incredibly helpful in the event that more robust work needed to happen, but luckily he was able to figure it out! Would definitely recommend again! Very impressed.
Travis has done a few electrical projects for us now, including: 1) hot tub panel installation and wiring; 2) outdoor outlet installation; 3) house ground wiring evaluation and repairs; 4) electric subpanel reconfiguration Travis has been honest and resourceful throughout all of these projects. One thing that differentiates him is that his construction knowledge is far greater than just electric.
Travis is fair, friendly, and it's easy to see he cares about customer satisfaction.
Having worked with many contractors, I can state unequivocally that Travis is one of the most talented people out there. His electrical work is incredibly neat. Also, his breadth of knowledge on building and remodeling is unrivaled. I hired him for rough electrical work, installation of recess lighting, and to help me with a large remodeling project. The quality was A+. Lastly, his pricing is very fair.
Travis was professional and courteous when completing the electrical job that I requested. He offered a few different solutions to the various projects he was working on. I would recommend giving Travis and Abbott Contractors a call.
