Bloom Electric is a one-person electrical outfit run by David Bloom out of Malden, Massachusetts โ the kind of business homeowners call for a stuck breaker, a dead outlet, or a lighting job. The company says it has been in business 8 years, and Bloom's Massachusetts Journeyman Electrician license (#59743-B) is listed on Thumbtack as valid through August 2028. The five written reviews on file, all from Thumbtack between December 2025 and March 2026, tell a consistent story. A reviewer in February 2026 had recessed lighting installed in an apartment, with Bloom testing every outlet in the unit afterward and answering questions along the way. Two reviewers writing in December 2025 described him diagnosing an electrical problem quickly and fixing it efficiently. The two most recent reviews, from March 2026, both single out how fast he responds and how transparent he is about pricing before the work starts. Thumbtack's own tally shows a 4.9 average from 36 ratings, 97% of them five stars โ but that total includes one 1-star rating with no accompanying review text, so it's worth asking what happened there since none of the five written accounts describe it. Bloom's profile also lists furniture assembly, fan installation, circuit breaker panel work, and drywall repair, though every written review is specifically about electrical troubleshooting or lighting. For a small, straightforward electrical job, what's there backs up hiring him โ confirm the scope and price upfront the way past customers describe doing, since that's the part they consistently mention going well.
