Verified record
Mark Barbeau Electrical is a one-person operation based in Beverly — according to BBB records the business has just one employee, Mark himself — and its Google reviews describe him showing up for everything from a Saturday emergency to a full-home rewiring project. Every review on file is five stars, spanning 2022 through May 2026. A recent one describes Mark going out of his way to fix a minor Saturday issue; a few months before that, in April 2026, he upgraded a home's electrical service to 200 amps, staying on the promised timeline with clean, professional work. Older reviews point to bigger jobs too — in October 2024, one customer described him rewiring an entire kitchen, four bathrooms, and a run of recessed LED lighting, calling the work methodical and flawless, and in 2022, a first-time homebuyer chose him after interviewing several electricians for a home that needed substantial electrical work. BBB lists a Massachusetts electrician license (#38859) for the business, though that's BBB's own listing rather than an independent state verification. The business also isn't BBB-accredited and doesn't carry a BBB rating — the profile notes there isn't enough information to issue one. A solid option for anything from a quick troubleshooting call to a full rewire, based on a small but consistently positive record — worth confirming license status and getting a timeline in writing given the one-person scale of the operation.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Mark Barbeau Electrical. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
I had an issue on a Saturday that turned out to be a simple, silly thing, but Mark went out of his way to come help me and was really nice about it! Highly recommend!
Mark upgraded our home's service to 200 amps. I would highly recommend him. He's quick to respond, stayed right on the timeline, and delivered clean professional work.
Mark Barbeau updated and rewired my entire kitchen, four bathrooms and lots of recessed LED lights. He is methodical and flawless in his approach, which is what you want from an electrician. Highly recommended.
Left a voice mail explaining my situation and my called was returned within 24 hours. Scheduled an appointment and Mark arrived on time. He resolved my electrical circuit problem quickly with minimal inconvenience, all at a fair price.
Vast technical knowledge, skill, and excellent customer service are a rare combination in the trades. Mark is one of the rare ones. I recently purchased my first home which required a substantial amount of work to be done. After interviewing a large number of electricians, I chose Mark because he was able to thoroughly explain what needed to be done, he offered me the right price for the project, and I could tell he would be easy to work with. He upgraded the service panel, installed the electrical for 2 new bathroom additions, and installed outlets, lighting, and smoke detectors in 2 bedrooms and a hallway. He was punctual, worked efficiently, and offered sage advice, which helped streamline the project from a time and cost standpoint. He always responded promptly to a text or call and when I needed a wire moved or a fixture changed, he would show up the same day or the following morning. You can't ask for a more dedicated electrician than that. I hope to have him on every job from now on.
