# James M Butler Electrician

**Trade:** Electrical · **Address:** 6 Quentin St, Milton, MA 02186, USA · **Phone:** (617) 593-0573 · **Website:** http://jamesbutlerelectric.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.1/5** (low confidence) — from 1 reviews across 4 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.

## The honest read

James M Butler Electrician is a long-running one-person electrical business in Milton — Better Business Bureau records show James Butler has operated as a sole proprietorship since 1980, and the BBB gives the business an A+ grade, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business.

There's very little public feedback to go on: just one Google review, from April 2025, describing a job to replace every circuit breaker in a roughly 6-year-old electrical panel, priced at over $800 through a personal connection versus an estimated $2,000 otherwise. It doesn't say how the work turned out.

With only one review on Google and no other customer accounts available, there isn't enough here yet to characterize what working with this contractor is typically like.
