Curtis Capra Electrician is a Barnstable one-man-plus-helper electrical contractor working across Cape Cod, holding Massachusetts electrician licence 57632 - verified active against the state registry under the name Curtis Capra. Google publishes a 5-star average from 59 ratings, running back to 2022 with no negative account on file. The work customers describe splits cleanly into three lines. Service upgrades and generators: a 2022 customer had a 100-amp panel and a 50-amp RV outlet put into a detached garage, permitted and inspected, to a tight deadline; a 2023 customer had a 100-to-200-amp service upgrade done by Curtis with two assistants named John and Joe. Ductless heat pumps: several customers describe mini-split installs, including a five-zone system in 2025 and Panasonic units in 2024, with one 2024 reviewer noting the crew left the inside and outside of the house spotless. And new construction: a 2026 customer had the electrical for a whole house build finished early and on budget, and a project manager at a design-build firm wrote in 2025 that Curtis is his go-to for electrical, finishing on time and within budget and flagging problems early. The recurring praise is about diagnosis and cost, not just tidiness. A 2025 customer says he found dangerous work left by a previous electrician and corrected it. A 2025 reviewer with a persistently troublesome HVAC system says he kept coming back until it worked properly. Several describe cost-saving suggestions offered unprompted, and a 2026 reviewer specifically says nothing was upsold or overcomplicated. Punctuality comes up in almost every review. What is worth knowing going in: this is a small operation - reviews describe Curtis working alone or with one helper - so scheduling on a large job is worth confirming, and the company's own site says it works alongside a licensed plumber when a job needs both trades. It is a participating Mass Save contractor for heat-pump work, which matters if you are chasing an incentive. For panel and service upgrades, standby generators and mini-split installs on the Cape, the licence is real and the record is deep, consistent and recent.
Had an excellent experience with Curtis. He was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain everything clearly. It's clear that he takes pride in his work and genuinely cares about his customers. Reasonably priced and high quality work. I would highly recommend Curtis to anyone looking for a reliable and honest electrician!
Curtis was extremely professional and punctual, did an amazing job and will be calling back for any future needs.
Curtis was the electricians for our new house build and did a fantastic job! They completed all of the work early and in budget. They were both very personable and great to work with. I highly recommend them!
Curtis Capra did a couple projects for me and I honestly couldn’t be happier. He showed up on time, (which already puts him in the top 1% 😂), was super easy to deal with, and got everything done way smoother than I expected. He explained what he was doing, answered all my questions (even the dumb ones lol), and didn’t try to overcomplicate or upsell anything. Everything looks clean, works perfectly, and the whole process was stress-free, which is rare when it comes to home projects. If you’re looking for an electrician that actually does what he says he’s gonna do and makes the whole thing easy, I’d definitely recommend Curtis.
I have worked with Curtis on several projects, ranging from new home construction to generator installs. As a project manager, he is my go to guy work electrical work. He gets his work completed on time and within budget. He shows up when he says he will, is fair with his pricing and communicates any issues in a timely manner.
