Eric Hamlin Electric is a one-person Salem shop — owner Eric Hamlin, a US Army veteran, says on the company's site that he personally shows up to every job. Thumbtack's profile puts the business at two years old as of this year, with a completed background check and a 4.8-star rating from 16 reviews there. The seven reviews on file, running 2023 to 2026 across Google and Thumbtack, all describe specific work rather than generic praise: recessed-lighting installs in a living room and in two bedrooms, a sub-panel replacement where the customer specifically called out the clean, flush-mounted work and tidied-up wiring in the old box, and a same-day fix after a nail punctured a wire — the customer messaged at 7pm and Eric was there the next morning. The review pool is still small, so there isn't much of a track record to lean on beyond these — but what's there is consistent and detailed, worth a look for smaller electrical jobs around Salem and the North Shore.
