"When you have numerous small tasks Dan is the one to call," a 2019 Angi reviewer wrote of Donahue Electrical Contractors, adding that he did not mind taking on many small jobs around the house. The Newburyport electrical contractor, at 38 Myrtle Ave, holds Massachusetts electrician licence 13775-EL-B, which the state registry shows as active with Daniel J Donahue as holder of record. Its Google page shows 4.5 stars from 8 ratings, and Angi shows 4.7 stars from 8 ratings. The written reviews run from 2019 to 2024, ten in all. Responsiveness comes up in three of them: a 2019 reviewer says the company responded immediately and that Dan made an extra trip to get what was needed for their kitchen; another 2019 reviewer says missed calls are returned within 24 hours and the job site is kept clean; and a 2024 Google review mentions a quick response at a very reasonable price. A 2020 customer says the crew was on time and helpful in discussing options. Price is the complaint. In a 2019 Angi review, a customer called the company a little too expensive for a small job, though it got done, and a 2020 Angi reviewer wrote that they were not sure the company had not overpriced smoke alarms it bought from Home Depot.
Excellent service, quick response. Very reasonable. Will use again
Well done
It was better when it was hands on ja and his sons smokey and the one armed bandit were running the show d macgregor IS playing with wires and they do have MEMORY
I am not sure that they did not overprice the cost of the smoke alarms that they purchased from Home Depot.
They were on time. Courteous and helpful in discussing options. They did a great job!

Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Donahue Electrical Contractors. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
