Bishop Electric Co

Bishop Electric Co is a one-person-plus-crew electrical shop in Assonet run by Brian Bishop, whose Massachusetts electrician license the state registry confirms is active. The Better Business Bureau -- where the business isn't accredited but carries an A+ grade -- lists it as having started in 1994, and BuildZoom's permit records back that up with real jobs on file: LED lighting retrofits in Attleboro, a solar panel feed relocation and bathroom wiring in Taunton, and a water heater circuit in Dighton, mostly smaller jobs under $5,000. BuildZoom's own scoring puts the company in the top 22% of the state's licensed contractors. The handful of customer accounts on file point the same direction. In a 2022 review, a homeowner described losing power overnight, calling at 8 a.m., and having Bishop show up, make the repair and get power back on by early afternoon -- coordinating directly with Eversource along the way. A more recent review, from April 2025, was shorter but pointed the same way: a call back within a couple of hours. One quirk worth flagging rather than worrying about: BuildZoom's own site shows two conflicting entries for the same license number, one flagged as unverified with an old 2016 expiration and another marked verified active -- the state registry is the one that actually settles it, and it says active. For a straightforward electrical call in the Assonet area, Bishop's active licensing and its documented permit history are the strongest things going for it, backed by a handful of specific, positive accounts from actual customers.
