# Elliott Electrical Services

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 139a Charles St #261, Boston, MA 02114, USA · **Phone:** (617) 523-2888 · **Website:** http://elliottelectricalma.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.2/5** (low confidence) — from 1 reviews across 4 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.

## The honest read

Elliott Electrical Services is a small electrical shop on Charles Street in Beacon Hill, with a BBB profile that puts it at 27 years in business and an A+ letter grade; a separate business profile describes it as a 35-plus-year Beacon Hill operation focused on the kind of small renovation, lighting, and service work common in Beacon Hill, Back Bay, the North End, and Bay Village townhouses and apartments — those two tenure figures don't match, so take either with some caution.

City permit records show the business has filed 52 electrical permits in Boston since 2011, with 46% of rated permits closed — a few points below the city median.

The one review on file is largely illegible, so there isn't much written detail to go on beyond the permit record and BBB profile — worth asking for recent references before booking.

**Strengths:**
- Neighborhood specialist — small renovation and lighting work in Beacon Hill

**Concerns:**
- Below-average permit closure — city data shows 46% of rated permits closed vs a 50% city median

**Where sources disagree:**
- Business tenure conflicts: BBB lists 27 years in business, while a separate business profile describes 35+ years
