Highlights
- Rescued a stalled job — finished pendant lights and a switch at a better price
- Responsive and reasonable — praised for quick response and fair pricing
Louis Benson Electrician is a Middleton one-man operation run by Louis S. Benson, a sole proprietor whose Better Business Bureau profile lists 29 years in business and an A+ letter grade, though the business isn't BBB accredited. The clearest account on file, from Thumbtack, describes hiring "Lou" after two other electricians backed out of a job they'd already committed to — he came out within a few days, quoted a better price than either of the other contractors, and installed three pendant lights and a switch above a kitchen island. A 2022 Google review separately praised him as quick to respond, thorough and reasonably priced. The written record is thin — just three reviews spanning 2022 to 2025 — so it's worth confirming his current availability and getting a written quote before booking, especially for a bigger job than a fixture install.
