# D & R Electric Co **Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 112 Dexter Ave A, Watertown, MA 02472 · **Phone:** (617) 926-4560 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.1/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 4 sources. ## The honest read D & R Electric Co works out of Watertown, taking on electrical jobs across the nearby Massachusetts towns — BuildZoom's permit records credit the company with 177 electrical projects, mostly in that area, and a BuildZoom Score of 96 that puts it in the 80th percentile among electricians it tracks. The Massachusetts electrician license behind the company, held by Stuart J. Ryan, is active in the state registry. What little written feedback exists points to word of mouth rather than marketing: a 2024 customer working with the company on a building project called out Joe by name as "well known in the area and trusted by many," and thanked office contact Steph for staying on top of communication throughout the job. An earlier reviewer, in 2022, put it more simply — years of experience, no runaround, solid work. Worth asking about before booking: Google's own tally for the business sits at 3.5 stars across eight ratings, noticeably lower than the two written five-star reviews here — the gap sits in star ratings with no comment attached, so it's worth checking how recent feedback on the platform looks before committing. For someone in Watertown or a nearby town who needs an electrician with real project volume behind them, D & R is worth a call — get a written scope and price for the specific job before signing on. **Strengths:** - Active state license — Massachusetts electrician registration verified current - Deep permit history — BuildZoom logs 177 electrical projects nearby - Word-of-mouth trust — reviewers name specific staff as reliable, experienced **Concerns:** - Overall Google rating — 3.5★ average sits below the five-star reviews shown **Where sources disagree:** - Google's overall business rating (3.5★ across 8 ratings) is lower than the two written reviews on file, which are both five stars — the other ratings carry no text here. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts electrician license #6462 is active in the state registry, held by Stuart J.
