M. Tierney Electrician is a one-person outfit customers simply call "Matt" — the guy who shows up, diagnoses the problem fast, and gets it done without any upselling. Ten Google reviews stretching from 2024 into a fresh April 2026 write-up all land at five stars, and the same words keep coming back: responsive, on time, professional. The clearest picture of the work itself comes from an October 2024 review describing a full rewire of a newly purchased two-family home to bring it up to code — the kind of larger, code-driven job homeowners lean on him for, alongside smaller calls like troubleshooting a fixture or advising on new wiring for an apartment. A September 2024 reviewer specifically called out his pricing as affordable, and several others from that same stretch describe the work as quick and clean with no mess left behind. There isn't much to flag here — nothing in the reviews raises a concern, and the newest one, from April 2026, keeps the same tone: hands-down the best contractor the reviewer had worked with, clear communication and no runaround. For a straightforward electrical job, from a rewire to a troubleshoot, this is a call built on one electrician's own hands-on reputation rather than a big outfit's marketing — worth confirming his current schedule before booking, since it reads like a small, single-operator shop.

Matt was hands down the best contractor I’ve worked with. Matt showed up on time, quickly diagnosed the issue, explained everything clearly, and did clean, high quality work with no upselling or runaround. It’s rare to find someone this responsive, honest, and skilled, and you can tell he takes real pride in doing the job right. If you need an electrician and want it done right the first time, this is the one to call.
I can’t say enough good things about Matt! He’s a small shop guy but is limitless with his skill and customer service. He exceeded my expectations on my kitchen renovation. Highly recommend!
Matt is a fantastic, honest, reliable, and highly skilled electrician. We had recently purchased a two family home that required a complete rewire to bring everything up to code and were very overwhelmed with trying to find and hire the right electrician. We had reached out to Matt to inquire about our job and received a very quick response, which we appreciated. He came out that same week and provided a thorough inspection, outline of the work and cost estimate. He was very professional and personable, and took the time to answer all of our questions to help us make an informed decision. It was an easy decision to hire Matt after our first encounter. He worked efficiently and provided us with thorough updates throughout the course of the project. Our 1870 home is now modernized, energy efficient, and has so many cool features that we wouldn’t even have thought to include such as under cabinet lighting, motion lights in our closets and outdoor light sensors (to name a few). Matt really exceeded our expectations and we will go to him from now on with all of our electrical needs. We would highly recommend connecting with Matt for your next electrical project.
Matthew was one of the best electricians I have ever used. He recently did some work for me in my house and not only was he quick, but extremely professional. he was also kind enough to give me some additional advice on a couple of other things I needed. His prices are very affordable, and I honestly could not have asked for a better overall experience. I am absolutely going to continue to use him and couldn't recommend him more.
Amazing!!!
