Ask the people who hire Chaves Electrical Services who did the work, and most of them answer with a first name: Rob. The Pocasset company says it handles residential, commercial and industrial electrical work, including code corrections and 24/7 emergency calls, across Cape Cod and southeastern Massachusetts, from Bourne and Cataumet to Falmouth, Sandwich, Barnstable and Plymouth. Its Massachusetts electrician license 8903 is active, and Google shows 5 stars from 32 ratings. The recent jobs are substantial ones. In a July 2026 Google review, a Pocasset homeowner described Rob Chaves moving the house's utility lines from overhead to underground and upgrading the service from 100 to 200 amps, with a detailed quote up front and the schedule kept. An April 2026 reviewer hired the company for a weeklong garage panel upgrade and EV charger installation and said it finished a day ahead of time, on budget. A March 2026 customer had a new home generator installed and said they were kept up to date on progress. Generators come up in older accounts too. In a November 2021 Google review, a customer whose generator would not start during a Cape Cod storm said Rob came out during the storm, worked through the parts with the manufacturer and a local distributor, and traced the fault to a cheaper part rather than the $800 power board first suspected. An October 2021 Angi reviewer said he did an emergency inspection after a garage fire from their generator, during the storm and on a few hours' notice. The crew shows up by name in a few reviews. A 4-star October 2024 Google review covered updating a 1974 house's outlets and switches, new patio sconces and cleaning up incorrectly installed basement wiring, and named Rob, Brian and Noah as respectful of the home and willing to work around a work-from-home schedule. A January 2024 reviewer building a second floor on an older house said the job needed extensive rework of existing wiring plus new work upstairs, and called Rob's work fast and neat. In a June 2022 Angi review, a homeowner who could not be on site said Rob let himself in, locked up, and sent photos of the finished work and videos on how to use what he installed. The company's website also lists MA electrical license 23092A, and Angi and HomeAdvisor list trade license 50560; both directories show 4.9 stars from 9 ratings.
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!
