John Ryan Company, Inc.

John Ryan Company, Inc. is an electrical contractor based in Weymouth, Massachusetts, that says it grew from one man with a van, two ladders, and a bag of tools into a multi-million dollar operation over the past 25 years. The Better Business Bureau's own filing tells a slightly different story, putting the company's start in 1990 and crediting it with 36 years in business under Mr. John Ryan, President — a gap worth noting rather than picking a side on. The company describes itself as two businesses under one roof: free estimates for residential electrical work around the Boston area, South Shore, and Cape, plus nationwide commercial electrical and facilities-maintenance contracts for builders and property managers. There isn't much of a public track record yet to weigh against that description — Google shows only three ratings, all five stars, which is too few to call a pattern one way or the other. The BBB gives the company an A+ letter grade, though it hasn't sought BBB accreditation, and its BBB page doesn't show any complaints on file either way. Before calling, it's worth asking how a residential job actually gets staffed and scheduled at a company whose public identity leans heavily commercial and nationwide — there simply isn't enough written customer history here yet to say how that plays out for a homeowner's project specifically.
