Coleman Electric is a one-man license backed by decades of Cape Cod fieldwork — Dave Coleman's Massachusetts electrician license (#17221) is registry-verified active, and the Better Business Bureau has carried an A+ grade for the company since 2009, with its file dating the business back to 1986. The reviews are thin but consistent. In a March 2026 review, a longtime customer calls Dave dependable and knowledgeable, someone who 'figures it out' on electrical problems. Earlier accounts — a 2024 review describing five or six jobs over the years plus a same-day emergency call answered within 24 hours, and another 2024 review of an addition wiring job with a generator transfer switch — describe him arriving on time and keeping the homeowner informed throughout. That second reviewer also mentioned Joan Coleman, who handles the office and scheduling. The one thing worth knowing: that 2024 reviewer also noted that routine, non-emergency appointments can take a while to get on the calendar. BuildZoom's permit records back up the volume of real fieldwork — 119 building permits across South Dennis, Yarmouth Port, Hyannis, West Yarmouth and other Cape Cod towns — though that figure reflects permits pulled, not customer sentiment. The company's own site describes 20 years in business, shorter than the BBB's 1986 start date; either way, this is a small, established operation with a verified license behind it. For anything from a wiring addition to a generator hookup, it's worth calling ahead if the job isn't an emergency.
Dave Coleman has been my "go-to" electrician for years. Good guy. Dependable. Very knowledgeable. If you've got an electrical problem...he'll figure it out Highly recommended!!
I have used Dave at Coleman electric, probably five or six times now. Generally, you may have to wait a while to get an appointment, but we used Dave once for an emergency situation and he was there within 24 hours, no questions asked. He is a good electrician, and his wife Joan does the office work and scheduling and she is also very nice and efficient as well.
Coleman Electric Inc has provided quality service with an exceptionally friendly attitude while wiring my addition. An extensive wiring project with a generator transfer switch installed was no issue for Coleman Electric. Dave arrived on time and kept me informed along the entire project. I highly recommend him for you next project.
