Burkett Electric Co

Burkett Electric Co is a South Boston electrical outfit at 193 L St, tied to Robert Burkett, who according to Boston permit filings has pulled 170 building permits in the city since 2011 — a body of paperwork that points to steady, long-running work in the neighborhood even though the company doesn't carry a deep public review trail. The clearest recent signal comes from a Google review this spring calling the company professional, reliable, and easy to work with. Older feedback on a separate business-directory site echoes the same theme — a customer who'd had fixtures installed said the work was high quality and that they'd call the crew again — though with only three written reviews on record spanning 2021 to 2026 across three different sources, this reputation hasn't been stress-tested by volume. On Google itself the company sits at 4.6 stars, but that rests on just 10 ratings. BuildZoom tags the business with a "Verified License" badge and a BZ Score of 103, but that's the aggregator's own scoring, not a confirmation from the state licensing board — worth checking directly before signing anything. A separate permit-tracking site credits the same Robert Burkett with closing 76% of his rated Boston permits, about 25.5 points above the citywide median, which lines up with someone who's been pulling permits in the city for over a decade. For a small, established South Boston electrician with a clean-if-thin review record and a documented permit history, this looks like a reasonable call for typical residential electrical work — just confirm current licensing directly and get a written scope before the job starts, given how few independent reviews back up the reputation so far.
