Frank M. Prall Electric

The record on Frank M. Prall Electric is old but it's a good one: a Massachusetts electrician license under Frank M. Prall's own name checks out active with the state, and nine written reviews across Google, BuildZoom and its own site — running 2013 through 2021 — tell a consistent story about a hands-on electrical shop out of Wellesley. The standout account is a Saturday power outage. A customer called Frank, got a callback within 20 minutes, and had him at the house within the hour — he found the root cause and had it fixed, at what the customer called good value for the time it took. In a 2013 review, another homeowner described a challenging install two other electricians had already turned down; Frank quoted it on the spot and did the work exactly as asked. A contractor who hired him for five straight years, in a 2015 review, said he's reliably the first one on the job and the first one done. The written praise repeats a few things over and over: fair, detailed estimates; clean work areas; showing up when he says he will. The Better Business Bureau gives the business an A+, and BuildZoom's permit records back up the volume — 117 permitted electrical jobs on file, with activity as recent as 2025, so the work hasn't stopped even though the written reviews have gone quiet since 2021. One thing worth knowing before calling: nobody has left a new customer review in several years, even though the permit trail shows the business still actively pulling jobs. That's not evidence anything changed for the worse — just a gap worth a quick check-in before a bigger project. A good fit for anything from a fast repair to a real electrical problem nobody else wants to touch — the reviews that exist are unusually specific about exactly that kind of situation. Confirm current availability and get a written estimate, the way past customers describe getting one.
