Dyer Electrical Company

Dyer Electrical Company is a Hyannis institution — a combined electrical contracting shop and lighting showroom that says it's been serving Cape Cod since 1910. Reviewers consistently mention working with Walter directly: matching an antique bronze lamp's fixtures "perfectly," rewiring a sister's Turkish hanging light, fixing a broken lamp socket on the spot. One customer describes over 30 years going to the shop for lighting supplies and electrical work, calling the pricing reasonable and the workmanship consistent. That said, the most recent review — from June 2026 — tells a different story: a customer says an old lamp sat with Dyer for a month with nothing but excuses about waiting on wire. It stands out because it's the only review in the last six months, against a backdrop of nine earlier five-star reviews stretching back to 2021 that describe custom antique-fixture work, a tricky GFCI/wiring diagnosis in an older home, and a referral to a subcontractor when the shop itself was too busy to take a job. The business's licensing is a little tangled in the public listings: BBB lists a Massachusetts Master Electrician license under Walter F. Dyer Sr., while BuildZoom separately lists an active electrician license for the same business under the name Walter F. Rodin — worth a quick question if it matters to you which name is on the paperwork. BuildZoom's own permit history, meanwhile, shows roughly 220 building permits pulled between 2007 and 2015, mostly in West Yarmouth, South Yarmouth, Hyannis, Hyannis Port, and Centerville. For a lamp rewiring, an antique fixture, or a small custom electrical job, the track record here runs deep and mostly positive — just ask about current turnaround times given the one recent complaint.
