Bishop Electric Co

Bishop Electric Co works out of 86 North Main Street in Assonet, the village in Freetown. Brian D. Bishop is the owner, and the Massachusetts electrician licence 13602 is verified active against the state registry in his name. The Better Business Bureau lists the business as started in January 1994 — 32 years — with three employees, and grades it A+ while noting it is not BBB accredited. The review record is short and consistent. Google shows 4.9 stars from 10 ratings, three of which carry written text. The fullest is a 2022 account of an emergency: the homeowner called at 8am after losing power the previous evening, got a call back by 9:30, had repairs made by 12:30 and power restored by 2:30, with Bishop coordinating the fix with Eversource. A 2025 reviewer said Brian Bishop called them back within a couple of hours. A 2021 reviewer summed the job up as very efficient. Responsiveness is the thread running through all three. Building permits fill in the kind of work the reviews do not describe. Permit records surfaced through BuildZoom show seven projects, including LED lighting retrofits in Attleboro, a solar panel feed relocation and bathroom wiring in Taunton, and a water heater circuit in Dighton, with the recent ones valued under $5,000 — service, retrofit and small-project scale rather than ground-up wiring. BuildZoom scores the business 95, which it places in the top 22 percent of the 139,240 licensed contractors it tracks in Massachusetts. One thing to raise directly. Alongside the registry-verified electrician licence, BuildZoom also lists a Massachusetts Master Electrician entry under the same number, 13602, which it marks as not verified and shows with a last-seen expiration of July 2016. That is a directory's record rather than the registry's, so if master-level sign-off matters for your job, ask Bishop which classifications he currently holds and check the state board yourself. For a homeowner around Freetown, Taunton or Attleboro who wants an electrician who picks up the phone and can turn an outage around the same day, the record here is small but clean: three decades in business, a licence confirmed against the state registry, and every reviewer describing a fast response. Get a written scope for anything beyond a service call, since the visible permit history is small-ticket work.
