The clearest thread running through Matthew Benevides Electrician's reviews is speed on jobs nobody wants to wait on. In a 2020 review, a homeowner described a lightning strike that blew out the power line into the house; Matt and an assistant came out right away and replaced the entire electrical system and breaker box. In a 2018 review, another customer called him in to strip out knob-and-tube wiring and rewire a house built in the late 1800s — he came by the same day he was contacted to look at the job, then went back to keep working on Labor Day. Reviews run from 2018 through 2025 across six platforms. HomeAdvisor customers rate the company 4.9 stars from 50 ratings, and Angi reviewers land at the same 4.9 average from 50 ratings. A run of 2020 reviews specifically credit him with reasonable, transparent pricing next to bigger electrical companies that "overcharge," and a 2020 review describes him making two emergency visits to a customer's house before their scheduled project even started. Several people came back for more than one job — a 2021 review describes a second project updating a 100-year-old house. Most of the written record predates the last five years, so this is a long, consistent history more than a recent one. The newer entries are a 2021 Angi review, a five-star Thumbtack review from late 2024, and a five-star HomeAdvisor review from early 2025 — there just isn't much written in between to say whether anything about the operation has changed since. For rewiring an older home, swapping out a damaged panel, or another job that can't wait, the record here describes someone who shows up fast and follows through. Worth confirming current pricing and scheduling directly, since most of what's on file is a few years old.

I hired Matt when I was in the process of converting from a natural gas wall oven and cooktop to electrical versions. There had to be a lot of rewiring done, and he and his men did a great job. They arrived promptly at the agreed time to do the preliminary work and then arranged to come at the same time as the appliance installers to finish the job. Matt even took the time to fix my doorbell for me when I mentioned that it had not worked for years :-) It was clear that they are incredibly competent and the job went very smoothly. I would definitely hire them again if I need electrical work done in the future. Thanks Matt!!
Excellent work in a timely manner & very professional, highly recommend.
On-time, responsive, very knowledgeable, and professional. Highly Recommended!
Second time hiring Matt. He and Justin work hard. My projects involved up-dates to a 100 y/o house. Not easy work. But success again. Great guys too!!!!!!!!!
Matt was very professional and reasonably priced. His work was very precise and on point. I highly recommend this company.
