Curtis Capra Electrician, based in Barnstable, has built a Cape Cod-wide reputation on one repeating word: shows up. Across 52 Google reviews collected since 2022, the pattern barely varies: on time, does what he said he'd do, explains the work as he goes. His Massachusetts electrician license is active. Recent reviews, from this year, land the same way. One described Curtis finishing a new-construction electrical job early and under budget; another called him easy to work with and 'way smoother than expected,' crediting him for explaining what he was doing and never trying to upsell. The deeper record backs up more than politeness. In a 2025 review, a homeowner described Curtis finding dangerous wiring left behind by a previous electrician and moving quickly to correct it. Another 2025 review described a renovation where Curtis pushed back on plans that didn't make practical sense once the walls were open, offering alternatives instead of just following the drawings. A 2024 review described a full 100-to-200-amp service upgrade handled by Curtis and two assistants, John and Joe, working as a coordinated team. Several 2024 and 2025 reviews describe mini-split installs — including a five-zone system — heat pump installs, a sub-panel addition to support a solar system, and panel changeouts tied to a kitchen remodel. A 2024 review described a homeowner with a chronically difficult HVAC system who called Curtis their 'go-to' after years of not being able to resolve it, crediting him for staying with the problem until it actually worked. Pricing comes up often as fair or reasonable; a couple of reviewers specifically noted he offered cost-saving suggestions rather than the pricier option, including a project manager who says he uses Curtis regularly on new construction and generator installs. For panel upgrades, mini-split and heat pump installs, generator hookups, or an electrician who flags unsafe prior work instead of wiring around it, Curtis Capra is a strong, well-documented call.
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.
