Donohue Electric

Donohue Electric is essentially a one-name operation — every review names the owner, Ryan Donohue, directly — built on steady, word-of-mouth trust around Natick and the MetroWest area. On Google the company holds a 5-star average from 29 ratings, and the 27 written reviews on file, spanning December 2025 through August 2026 across four sources, are unanimously five stars, including ten in just the last six months with none negative. The work people hire him for is the everyday electrical calls a home actually needs: dead outlets, mystery power loss, hanging light fixtures, and bringing older wiring up to code. One reviewer called him in when their kitchen outlets went dead and had the problem fixed the same afternoon; another spent three straight days with him tracking down a hard-to-find basement fault. A theme that comes up again and again, in the newest reviews and ones from late 2025 alike, is price — customers repeatedly describe his quotes as fair, with more than one saying he came in under competing bids for the same job. Communication shows up almost as often as pricing in what people write: callbacks within minutes, an explanation of what's being done while the work happens, and a follow-up afterward to check the fix held. The one practical thing worth asking about directly is timing — one reviewer mentioned his schedule running weeks out for anything beyond a small job, so a same-day want may need a heads-up call. The company's own site lists emergency response alongside routine wiring, lighting, and low-voltage work across MetroWest and Eastern/Central Massachusetts, and a 2020 LinkedIn post put Ryan's hands-on electrical experience at roughly a decade by that point. For ordinary home electrical work — a stuck breaker, a lighting upgrade, a full rewire on an older house — this is a contractor with a deep and current record behind the name, and nothing in that record to weigh against it.
