Matthews Electric

Matthews Electric is a Pembroke, MA electrician run by Scott D. Matthews, who has operated the business as a sole proprietorship for 36 years, according to the Better Business Bureau, which gives it an A+ rating. Public Massachusetts building permit records list 1,160 electrical permits filed under the business, most of them for installing whole-home standby generators across South Shore towns, the kind of work the company's BuildZoom permit history shows it does most often. There isn't much of a written customer track record to draw on here. Google shows a 5-star average from two ratings, but the single written review on file describes handling complaints over power being turned off during a hurricane, language that reads like it describes a utility crew rather than a homeowner's experience with panel or generator work, so it isn't a reliable read on what hiring this business for electrical work is actually like. Scott D. Matthews holds an active Massachusetts electrician license, verified directly against the state registry, and BuildZoom separately lists an active Massachusetts construction supervisor license; an inactive Maine electrician license also appears on file but has no bearing on the company's Massachusetts work. Homeowners considering Matthews Electric for a generator installation or general electrical work can point to a long-running, licensed, BBB-rated local business, but should ask directly about references or recent project examples, since there isn't a substantial body of customer reviews to check first.
