# John Anthony Mahar Jr. Electrician **Trade:** Electrical · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.9/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 3 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 5 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read John Anthony Mahar Jr. Electrician works out of Wareham, on Massachusetts' South Coast, handling the kind of small residential electrical jobs a homeowner calls in when something needs fixing now — a ceiling fan, a bathroom exhaust fan, a panel upgrade, a bad outlet. Every review on file, five of them posted on HomeAdvisor and mirrored on Angi over July and August 2026, rates the work 5 stars, and the details line up across them: customers mention getting a text with an ETA before John arrived, being seen within a few days of calling, and having the actual problem — not just an estimate — handled on the spot. One reviewer said he installed a ceiling fan with a light faster than expected; another called the price fair and said they'd already referred a neighbor. HomeAdvisor and Angi both carry an Approved badge and list a trade license, number 62798, expiring July 2028 — that's the directories' own record rather than a state verification, so it's worth confirming directly. The review history itself is still short: five ratings show a consistent pattern of promptness and follow-through, but it isn't yet a long track record. For a straightforward electrical fix — fans, panels, outlets — the early reviews point to someone who shows up when he says he will and finishes in one visit. **Strengths:** - 5-star record — five reviews on HomeAdvisor and Angi, all 5 stars - Prompt, communicative — reviewers cite ETA texts and on-time arrival - Approved badge — listed as Approved on both directories **Concerns:** - Short track record — only five reviews on file, all from mid-2026 - Directory-only license — number listed on HomeAdvisor/Angi, not state-verified here ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Five out of five HomeAdvisor and Angi reviews from July–August 2026 all rate the work 5 stars _(confidence: high)_ - [HomeAdvisor](https://www.homeadvisor.com/rated.JohnAnthonyMaharJr.163236305.html) — “5★ John was on time and texted me when he was on his way with an ETA.
