## The honest read

Herlihy Electric Inc is identified in Marblehead, Massachusetts as an electrician with 23 years in business, five employees and Charles Herlihy listed as owner. BBB lists the business as an electrician, while BuildZoom lists electrical work and 56 projects.

The available material is directory and permit information rather than customer reviews. BuildZoom shows electrical permits in Marblehead and nearby Massachusetts communities, including generator wiring and other electrical work, but also notes that its license information is not verified and includes records with mixed statuses.

Before hiring, confirm the current license status, exact scope and insurance directly. The business appears suited to electrical contracting in the Marblehead area, but there is no substantive customer-review record here to evaluate workmanship or scheduling.

**Strengths:**
- Electrical experience — 23 years in business and 56 permitted projects

**Concerns:**
- License status — BuildZoom lists mixed active and inactive records
- Review depth — no substantive customer reviews are available

**Where sources disagree:**
- BBB identifies 23 years in business, while BuildZoom provides project and license data but warns its license information is not verified.
