Chaves Electrical Services LLC works out of Pocasset, on the Cape's western shoulder, and the reviews keep piling up in one direction: thirty on file since 2021 across Google, Angi, and HomeAdvisor, and all but two are a flat five stars. The company says it handles residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work — installations, upgrades, code corrections, and 24/7 emergency calls — across Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts. One name shows up in nearly every review: Rob, or Rob Chaves, described doing the work himself. In a recent review, a homeowner had him move utility lines from overhead to underground and bump the electrical service from 100 to 200 amps, and noted he stayed in touch and kept to the schedule throughout. Another recent job paired a week-long garage panel upgrade with an EV charger install, finished a day ahead of schedule and on budget. The history runs back further than the recent run. In a 2024 review, a second electrician, Noah, is named working alongside him on a fixture-selection job, and in a separate 2024 review a customer with fifty years in the construction industry called an older home's electrical rework fast, efficient and neat. Two 2021 reviews describe him arriving mid-storm to chase down a dead generator, and separately doing an emergency inspection within hours of a garage fire. On licensing, the state registry has one confirmed: an active Massachusetts electrician license, number 8903, registered to Chaves Electrical Services LLC by name. The company's own site lists that number plus a second one (23092A) that hasn't been independently checked, and HomeAdvisor and Angi separately list a "Trade License Number 50560" for the business — a different number again, which is the ordinary pattern when a company license and an individual's license both get listed rather than a real disagreement. Worth asking directly before booking: this reads like a small, personally-run operation rather than a multi-crew shop, so for a bigger job it's worth confirming the timeline and who will actually be on site. Beyond that, there isn't much to flag — no negative review turned up across five years and three platforms, and the most recent stretch, seven reviews in the last six months, kept that streak going. For panel upgrades, EV chargers, generator work, or a same-day emergency call on the Upper Cape, this is a contractor with a genuinely deep and consistently positive record behind it. Confirm the scope and get a written estimate before the truck rolls, same as with any electrical job.
Great service. Very prompt and polite. Fixed issue with no problems.
I hired Rob Chaves to move my utility lines at my house in Pocasset from overhead to underground, and also to upgrade my service from 100 to 200 amps. He was immediately responsive with a detailed quote, and once hired, kept to the schedule. He was an excellent communicator and kept me up to date with the progress. His work was of high quality and reasonable cost. I highly recommend his services.
Rob has been on top of our project from day one and has been an excellent partner throughout.
Rob has always been fair with his price and does his work very professionally on a timely manner. I use rob on a regular basis and would recommend him highly
Chaves always does a great job. He is on time, courteous and knowledgeable. Thanks for being an excellent electrician!
