Joe's Electrical Corp works out of 27 Charles St in Methuen, with Joseph Elkhoury as president and the customer contact. The business says it started in 1999 and incorporated in 2012, and it runs with three employees. Its Better Business Bureau file has been open since October 2012, carries an A+ grade, and the business has been BBB Accredited that whole time. The work is residential and commercial electrical across a wide range: service panels and breakers, wiring and rewiring, generators, EV chargers, solar, home automation, security cameras and smoke alarm systems. Unusually for a small electrical shop, it also sells $19.99 and $29.99 yearly maintenance contracts and offers a one-year parts-and-labour guarantee. Building permit records back that up geographically more than they do in volume: 69 permitted electrical projects over the company's life, pulled in Methuen, Boston (including South Boston, Hyde Park and West Roxbury), Quincy, Beverly, Taunton, Tewksbury and Chelmsford. Only about four of those permits fall in the past three years, so recent permitted activity is light compared with the long history behind it. What is worth asking about is the licensing picture, because the directories tell two stories. BuildZoom lists Massachusetts electrician licence #20056 and says it checked it active in April 2026, but it also lists a Master Electrician entry under #20056/50905 that it marks not verified, with an expiry it recorded as July 2016. Those are BuildZoom's own records, not a state-registry check, and the BBB page publishes no licence number at all. Ask for the current licence directly and confirm it with the Massachusetts electricians' board. The other gap is customer voice. Neither the BBB page nor BuildZoom publishes a single customer review body, and BBB shows no complaint count either, so the A+ grade and the BuildZoom score of 102 are both derived from records and accreditation rather than from anyone describing what the work was like. For a panel upgrade, EV charger or generator install in the Merrimack Valley this is a long-established, accredited shop — just ask for recent references and the current licence before booking.
