Clark Electric

Clark Electric works out of Wakefield, and the business is Matthew Clark's — the Massachusetts electrician licence on file is registry-active in his own name, and a customer who hired the company for a whole-house punch list identified him as the owner. Reviewers almost always name him personally, and several name the electricians working alongside him: Nathan and Joe both recur across accounts written in 2024 and 2025. The record is deep and current — 85 reviews on file spanning 2022 to 2026, with Google showing 4.9 stars from 87 ratings. What customers describe most is speed. A homeowner writing in May 2026 lost power when a tree branch tore the connection off the pole and damaged the meter; Matt came by that evening, laid out repair scenarios, and had the work finished and inspected by 2 p.m. the next day. In April 2026 another caller reached a person rather than voicemail on a Monday morning and had the house serviced the same day. A third called about a blown fuse that same month, got a visit two hours later, and wasn't charged when the fix turned out to be flipping a switch. Those accounts aren't new. In a 2025 review a customer described a 200-amp breaker in a 1960s panel failing at 4 p.m. on the Saturday of a holiday weekend, with Matt on site within the hour and a workaround restoring power by dinner. Another, writing in October 2024, described him sourcing meters and hardware and working past midnight after an accident destroyed a meter bank. The work spans ordinary house electrical and larger jobs. Recent customers describe exterior fixtures and barn lighting and an EV charger installed with load calculations and the required inspections. Earlier accounts cover a hot-tub sub panel in 2024, a tripping pool-heater breaker in 2024, and lighting brought out to a condo parking area in 2024. A general contractor writing in 2024 used him as a subcontractor on a large residential remodel and said he hit every milestone. Price draws praise more often than complaint — 2024 reviewers describe a job landing slightly below estimate and a bill lower than expected, and a June 2026 customer valued being quoted a flat rate instead of an hourly one. It is also where the sharpest disagreement sits. A January 2026 reviewer rated the company one star over exhaust-fan work, saying they were overcharged, that Clark would only do the job if he supplied the fans so he could warranty them, and that calls and texts went unanswered once one fan had problems. A 2025 reviewer who praised the communication still docked a star because an employee left a bag of trash in the garage, and called the price a little high. This is the shape of an owner-run shop that answers the phone and moves fast, which matters most in a power emergency. Get the scope and price in writing before work starts, and ask directly how problems after the job are handled.
