Matthew S. Bento Electrical Contracting is an electrical contractor based in Somerville, working on residential wiring, lighting and repair calls around the Boston area. Thumbtack lists the business as a Top Pro with a 4.7-star rating from 45 ratings, about 22 years in business, and 209 projects shown on the platform. The five reviews on file, all from early 2025, describe fast turnarounds: in a March 2025 review, a customer said Matthew called back immediately with a quote and finished the walkthrough, quote and job in one day, while another described him coming out on a Sunday to fix wiring uncovered during a light-fixture swap. Other 2025 reviews mention a same-day fix for kitchen lights, a knob-and-tube wiring replacement that also resolved a ceiling fan problem, and a diagnosis-and-repair job on an electric fireplace's wiring. Every review on file is positive, with no complaints among them. Thumbtack shows only five of the platform's 45 ratings, and nothing here covers pricing or licensing — both worth asking about directly before booking. For a specific wiring problem — a dead outlet, an outdated circuit, a stubborn light fixture — the reviews point to quick call-backs and same-visit fixes; confirm pricing and current licensing before the work starts.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Matthew S. Bento Electrical Contracting. 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
Matthew fixed the wiring on our electric fireplace. He was able to diagnose the problem and find a solution. He was quick, super professional, and very easy to work with. Highly recommended!
Great work, removing and substituting knob & tube from our home. Quick to respond and to start and finish the work. Ended up fixing our ceiling fan - thanks Matthew! Will hire again in the future.
Matthew responded to my request immediately with a phone call. Got me a good value quote. Worked with me on the equipment options for light fixtures and understood my needs. Listened to my requests on what to avoid doing and tailored the work to my specifications. He came out and did the quote and the job in one day. Great experience.
Matt was very easy to communicate with and offered multiple solutions to fixing my kitchen lights. He was able to get the job done the same day and I'm very happy customer.
Matthew did an incredible job with our project. What we thought would be an easy DIY light fixture replacement on a Saturday afternoon quickly needed professional help when we found outdated wiring. Matthew came the next day (Sunday!) to rescue us and was incredibly punctual, efficient, cleaned up (not always a guarantee!), handled the art around the wiring carefully, and was just overall very pleasant to work with. Will definitely be working with him in the future!
