Foley Electric

Foley Electric is a Braintree-based electrical contractor that homeowners across the South Shore and, increasingly, the Cape call for everything from a dead outlet to a full service upgrade. Its Massachusetts electrician licence, number 20596, is verified active in the state registry, and the Better Business Bureau grades the business A+. The review record is unusually deep and unusually current: Google carries 4.9 stars from 145 ratings, Houzz 5.0 from 4, and the written accounts run continuously from 2021 into 2026 with fourteen of them in the last six months alone. What customers describe is a small named crew rather than a rotating cast. John, Matt and John B. recur across years of reviews, and the praise is consistent in shape: fast pickup of calls and texts, work explained before and after, and job sites left clean. Recent 2026 accounts describe recessed lighting added to a family room and two bedrooms with dimmers, a panel replacement paired with a floodlight, garage heater, lantern and lamppost, damaged conduits repaired in a tight space beside a pool filter, and a lamppost re-set after a wind storm tore it out of the ground. They also turn up in a hurry when it matters. In a February 2026 review a homeowner who lost power in a snowstorm said the team trudged through the snow and had the problem resolved by lunchtime; another describes calling Monday morning and having two easy jobs and one complicated one finished before noon on Wednesday. Worth knowing before you book: a Reddit commenter in 2022 put it plainly that they are not the cheapest, while also saying the fixes hold and the pricing is stated up front. Plenty of Google reviewers call the prices reasonable, so the sensible move is to ask for the estimate in writing and judge it on that rather than on either reputation. On Cape reach: a Nextdoor neighbour in Centerville recommended the firm by name in a 2025 thread, which is word of mouth rather than a record of a Cape job, so confirm they travel to your town before booking.
