Ledbetter Electric is a one-name shop in West Roxbury: nearly every review, going back to 2021, mentions Paul directly, whether the job is a blown transformer or a full rewire. Its Google Business Profile currently carries 134 ratings, every one of them five stars, and that pattern holds across ServiceAgent, Ecohome, Porch, and Homeyou too — five separate profiles, each landing at or near five stars with well over 100 reviews apiece. The last six months brought six new reviews, all five-star, and they read like a continuation of the same story. One customer had Paul swap out a bad transformer so a video doorbell would finally work. Another, new to the area, chose Ledbetter over a bigger outfit specifically because it's a family-run operation rather than a recent trade-school hire, then noted how much time Paul spent explaining the electrical setup during a home inspection before doing any work. Others describe him walking through options before a job starts and landing on pricing they call fair or reasonable rather than padded. That's consistent with the shop's longer history: the bigger calls tend to be whole-house rewires and main-service-panel upgrades in older homes, paired with the smaller, more routine GFCI-outlet and circuit troubleshooting that comes with owning a pre-war property. Reviewers who've hired him more than once mention a small crew working alongside him — Brandon shows up by name in at least one — rather than a large rotating staff. Two things worth flagging before calling. One directory profile (BestProsInTown) describes over 40 years in the trade; no other source repeats that figure, so it reads like that site's own description rather than a verified number. And the review counts themselves vary a bit by aggregator — 134 on Google, 129 on ServiceAgent, 108 on Ecohome, 100 on Porch — which looks like ordinary sync lag between platforms rather than any real disagreement, since the star average never moves off five across any of them. For a stuck outlet, a doorbell that stopped working, or a bigger project like upgrading service in an older house, this is a shop with enough independent, consistent history behind it to warrant the call. Get the scope and price of the specific job in writing up front, the way you would with any electrician, and confirm current availability directly.

Paul was able to change out our transformer pretty quickly. Our video doorbell works great now!

I am new to the area, I took a chance on Paul and Ledbetter partly based on the reviews here. I was also looking for a family business opposed to a big company because I didn’t want to roll the dice and end up paying for some kid that just left trade school that thinks he knows everything. I first brought Paul in during my home inspection to look over the electrical. Paul is very thorough and puts emphasis on doing things the right way. I like that because I want things to be done the right way and when I don’t know necessarily how to do things, I want to bring someone in that’s an expert in their field to do it quality work. His inspection put my concerns at ease and gave me the confidence that the electrical in the house could support my vision. Paul and his team came in after I purchased the home and completed various jobs for us: bathroom exhaust fans, Electical service upgrade, electrical for the heat pump installation and electrical in my newly built detached garage shop. I couldn’t be happier with how all the work turned out. He is my go to guy now for electrical work. Paul does things the right way with high-quality materials, while keeping in mind and positioning you well for future changes or expansions. His prices are fair for the quality of work and materials we received. I like doing things in a quality way so I don’t have to do them again and again, that’s the same mentality that they have at Ledbetter. I’m glad I didn’t take a chance on a different company. Thanks guys!!!

Huge shoutout to Paul and the crew at Ledbetter Electric. Honestly one of the best contractor experiences we’ve had. Paul is incredibly professional and knowledgeable, but also super easy to talk to. He took the time to walk us through everything, explain options, and make thoughtful suggestions that we hadn’t even considered. Nothing felt rushed or pushy — just really fair, honest guidance and good advice. The team upgraded our electrical panel, replaced a bunch of older wiring, and installed recessed ceiling lights throughout the house. They also removed a few old ceiling fans and outdated light fixtures, which honestly opened up the rooms way more than we expected. The new recessed lighting completely changed the feel of the space. We went from relying on lamps everywhere to having clean, bright lighting that actually makes the house feel warm and inviting. The electricians on Paul’s team (shoutout to Brandon...he's awesome) were fantastic — friendly, respectful, clearly very skilled, and they kept everything tidy while they worked. They showed up when they said they would, stayed on schedule, and the quality of the work is excellent. You can tell they take real pride in what they do. If you’re looking for an electrician who’s reliable, fair, and genuinely cares about doing high-quality work, I can’t recommend Paul and Ledbetter Electric enough. We’ll absolutely be calling them again for future projects.
