A September 2025 Google reviewer described Cunha Electric bringing power from a house to an old barn through a 90-foot trench. The customer praised Chris and his crew's work: an excavator dug through unexpected large stones and backfilled with minimal impact to the land's grade and surrounding lawn, while Chris installed the wiring neatly. Chris also added a second PVC pipe so the customer could run additional wiring later, an addition the customer said they had not thought to request.

Always a great experience working with Chris. He’s knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. Thank you!
I recently hired Cunha Electric to run electric from my house to an old barn which had no power. This involved digging a 90-foot-long trench between the two buildings. I was extremely impressed with the professionalism and quality of service provided by Chris and his crew. The excavator was clearly experienced as he was able to successfully dig a clean trench, despite hitting many unexpected large stones in the process. More importantly, he backfilled the trench cleanly with minimal impact to grade of our land and surrounding lawn. The wiring completed by Chris was meticulously installed resulting in a nice clean look. He even added a second PVC pipe, (in addition to the electric), to allow me to run additional wires such as CAT-5, Coaxial, etc. I didn’t ask for this, only because I didn’t think of it. But Chris knew it would be beneficial to me down the road, so he decided to add it to the package and I’m so glad he did. The bottom line is, Chris cares about his customers, he is an awesome person to work with and he will treat you right.
They were amazing! Went above and beyond to help us with our full renovation!
