Foley Electric

Foley Electric works out of Braintree, and the jobs reviewers describe run from a fried breaker after a storm to a full panel swap done in an afternoon. Owner Matt Foley is the one who usually picks up the phone — several recent reviewers mention he calls or texts back within minutes of a request, with an electrician (often one named John) doing the hands-on work. Google puts the business at 4.9 stars across 145 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau rates it A+. That isn't built on a handful of reviews: 130 have piled up across six different sites since 2021, and the last six months alone added sixteen more, every single one five stars. Recent calls have covered recessed lighting with dimmers added to a family room and two bedrooms, a lamp-post replaced after wind tore it from the ground, damaged conduits and outlets untangled in a tight spot by a pool filter, and a single visit that knocked out a panel replacement, a floodlight, a garage heater, a lantern and a lamppost together. One directory traces the shop's Braintree roots back to 2003; Houzz's own page puts it at 2008 — the exact start date isn't nailed down, but the volume of work since is not in question. The one blemish worth knowing about is a single 3-star review sitting among well over a hundred fives, with nothing like it repeated in the months since. Houzz also shows a Home Advisor and Angie's List Super Service Award plus a Houzz Award, though its own review count there is thin at just four. This is a solid call for routine residential electrical work around Braintree and the South Shore — panel upgrades, lighting, troubleshooting, and storm-damage repairs — especially for anyone who values getting the owner on the phone quickly. The Angie's List and Home Advisor Super Service Awards and the A20596 license number are self-reported on directory pages, so it's worth confirming those directly before booking.
