Highlights
- Exceptional responsiveness — customers repeatedly cite fast callbacks and next-day visits
- Went above and beyond — six hours in freezing wind to finish a repair correctly
- Handles complex jobs — antique-home inspections, EV chargers, multi-project wiring work
John Mara Electric is a West Yarmouth electrician whose Cape Cod customers describe someone who actually shows up — a recurring theme given how many reviewers mention struggling to get other contractors to even return a call. One customer says John called back and was at the house the next day; another describes an after-hours kitchen circuit breaker failure resolved with phone troubleshooting that evening and an on-site fix the next morning. The work itself gets specific, repeated praise: itemized, transparent estimates and a smooth permit process on one job; an outdoor Level 2 EV charger installed with guidance on hardware and coordinating the separate excavation needed for the cable; and, for one repeat customer, over a dozen jobs completed over time — new can lighting, relocating a mystery wire found mid-renovation, outdoor plugs, a bathroom vent fan. In a February 2026 review, a customer describes John working six hours without gloves in freezing wind on the harshest side of the house to fix a failed factory part, staying until everything worked correctly. He's also handled less routine calls — inspecting and advising on upgrades for a buyer purchasing an antique home with electrical complexities, and diagnosing a complex wiring issue across multiple projects for another customer. All 14 written reviews on file, spanning 2025 into 2026, are five stars, and none describe anything to complain about. For Cape Cod homeowners with electrical work of almost any size — routine repairs, an EV charger, a full inspection before buying an older house — this is about as clean and specific a track record as an electrician's page gets.
