Joseph Ritchie Electrical

Joseph Ritchie Electrical is a one-man South Shore operation homeowners call when something needs fixing fast — and the thing reviewers keep coming back to is that Joe finds the actual problem instead of selling a bigger job. One homeowner braced for a major rewiring project; Joe traced it to the wrong bulbs and a bad switch and fixed it on the spot. Another had already spent over $1,000 on new LED floodlights when Joe spent 30 minutes on the phone explaining why a motion sensor and a dimmer switch couldn't work together together — advice three product manufacturers hadn't been able to give. Scheduling comes up almost as often as diagnosis: one reviewer had a quote in hand within 24 hours of calling about a house-wide upgrade, and several describe him arriving quickly and working cleanly, with one calling him meticulous and "no shortcuts." The work itself runs from fixing an outdoor parking-lot light to wiring fire and carbon-monoxide detectors in a relative's Plymouth home to installing new light fixtures — the company's own site leans hardest into custom and decorative lighting, alongside panel upgrades, home automation, and EV charger installs. Joseph Ritchie says he started the company in 2021 after more than 15 years working as a project manager for a firm that built high-end custom homes, and his Massachusetts electrician license is active on the state registry. Ten Google reviews from this summer are all five stars, and the business shows a 5.0 average across 101 ratings on Google overall — a large, current track record for a solo electrician. Across those ten detailed reviews, nothing negative shows up — no lapsed credentials, no complaints. For anything from a stuck light switch to a full lighting redesign or an EV charger install, Joseph Ritchie Electrical is a strong call across the South Shore towns the company lists — Weymouth, Hingham, Duxbury, Cohasset, Scituate, Norwell, Hanover, Marshfield, Whitman, Pembroke, and Plymouth. Confirm current availability directly, since the busy schedule reviewers describe means booking ahead matters.
