Verified record
Carlos Recinos is a Quincy electrician whose customers keep mentioning the same two things: he answers fast, and he explains the work. His recent Thumbtack reviews, from June and July 2026, say it plainly — one customer said he quickly diagnosed their electrical issue and answered all their questions, another said he explained every step of the process, and a third said he accommodated a request for an earlier arrival and finished in under an hour at a fair price. A June 2026 customer who had recessed lights installed said he arrived on time and kept the work area clean. The older record on HomeAdvisor runs back to 2019. In a November 2019 review, a homeowner whose house voltage could not hold even a microwave said Carlos troubleshot it systematically and concluded the problem likely sat with National Grid, the utility. A 2019 customer said he took time explaining a circuit breaker problem and worked with their HVAC technician to figure it out. A 2020 customer had him install a chandelier in their entry foyer. He holds 5.0 stars from 85 HomeAdvisor ratings. His website says he does residential and commercial electrical work around Boston, from small repairs to larger renovations, and offers free estimates and 24/7 emergency service.
