Almeida's Electrical Services

Almeida's Electrical Services is a New Bedford electrician whose whole Thumbtack record comes down to one recurring line: he shows up, fixes what's actually wrong, and doesn't pad the bill. Owner Ethan Almeida is background-checked and listed as a Journeyman Electrician in Massachusetts on the platform, where 17 ratings average 4.9 stars — 94% of them five-star. The reviews back that reputation with specifics rather than adjectives. This spring, one customer said Ethan turned down repairs that weren't actually needed, saving them close to $1,000 in the process — the kind of detail that says more than a star count. Recent reviewers also credit him with easy scheduling, fair pricing, and quality work, and with buying and installing a replacement outdoor light fixture on the spot during an unrelated visit. Two earlier reviews — one from January 2026, one from September 2025 — describe the same pattern going back further: arriving on time, diagnosing the actual problem, and charging reasonable prices for the repair. Worth asking about before booking: the Thumbtack profile itself doesn't agree on how long Almeida's has been around — its Overview field lists just 1 year in business, while the company's own bio claims over 10 years of experience. It's a small thing to clear up with a quick question, but it's the one gap in an otherwise consistent record. For everyday residential electrical work — outlet and switch repairs, lighting, wiring, and panel or breaker jobs — this looks like a solid, straightforward call, especially for homeowners who'd rather pay for an honest diagnosis than a padded invoice.
