Michael D Hollister Electrician

Michael D. Hollister is a one-man electrical contractor working out of South Yarmouth, right in the heart of the Cape. Building-permit records tie him to 96 separate electrical jobs across towns from Harwich to West Barnstable and South Dennis to West Yarmouth — new services, generators, kitchen and bathroom rewiring, additions — the kind of steady, spread-out volume you'd expect from someone who's been doing this a while. The one written review on file, from 2017, called him "professional, knowledgeable and reliable" and said he "came fully recommended." It's dated, but nothing since has contradicted it — Google shows a 5-star average across a small handful of ratings, and BBB carries an A+ letter grade for the business with no complaints on file, even though it isn't a BBB-accredited business. Worth asking about before booking: BuildZoom, which tracks his permit history, lists his electrician's license status as "unable to verify" rather than confirming it active. That's a gap in BuildZoom's own records, not a stated lapse, so it's worth confirming his current license directly with the Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Electricians before signing anything. He's a reasonable call for straightforward residential electrical work — service upgrades, generators, lighting, remodels — especially if his name is already turning up on a Cape building permit near you. Just verify the license number yourself first.
