DS Electrical Services is run by electrician Donny (Donald) Silva, whose reputation on Google comes almost entirely from repeat customers describing specific, completed jobs rather than generic praise. Homeowners consistently point to his handling of urgent situations — coming out the day a storm tore wiring off a house, and returning the next day after a lightning strike fried a breaker panel to replace it and bring the home's old wiring up to code. Beyond emergency work, reviewers describe him wiring full home additions, including a two-story addition, handling the electrical for a kitchen remodel, installing recessed lighting, and adding outlets and lighting around a backyard pool. Smaller jobs come through too — installing an outlet for a new dishwasher, fixing and adding individual fixtures, and pairing electrical work with security camera installs. Several reviewers say they've hired him more than once over multiple years for different projects at the same property. Google shows a 5.0-star average from 26 ratings, and the 23 written reviews on file, spanning April 2024 through June 2026, are uniformly positive — reviewers repeatedly describe the work as clean, neat, and precise, and several specifically call out fair, reasonable pricing. One reviewer refers to him as a "Master Electrician," though that credential hasn't been independently verified here. For anyone with panel work, storm or lightning damage, an addition, or a remodel that needs an electrician, the pattern across these reviews points to someone who shows up quickly and finishes what he starts — worth confirming current licensing and availability directly before booking.

Worked with Donny on more than one project. He does excellent work and is extremely reliable. I greatly appreciate his attention to detail.
Love the work Donny has done! We called him back for a second job after doing our recessed lighting. He’s very knowledgeable when it comes to his work, and he’s reliable. This project took two trips because my husband had to plaster in between, but Donny helped him stay on top of it! Highly recommended for your electrical needs!
Excellent customer service and work. I recommend Domny for any electrical work you may need.
During a recent overnight storm, I had a tree that came down and ripped the electrical wiring from the side of the house. The electric company was quick to restore power, and reported that the Service Entrance Cap was damaged. I found Donny recommended in the community we reside in and reached out. He came out the day of the storm and provided an estimate. The scheduled repair was completed today with his colleague. I was pleased with the responsiveness, price and timely service. Thank you!
After lightning stuck our power line and fried the entire breaker panel, Donny was quick to offer his services. Knowing we were without power or running water he was quick to inspect the damage the next day to get the job running. He and his team made quick work and was able to fully swap the breaker panel and redo the electrical service coming into the house to bring an old house's wiring up to code. Power was restored within 3 days. He is very knowledgeable and meticulous with his work and communication is quick and easy. A local electrician that is easy to reccomend. ⚡
