# Michael D Hollister Electrician **Trade:** Electrical · **Phone:** (508) 776-5319 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.0/5** (low confidence) — from 1 reviews across 5 sources. ## The honest read 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. **Strengths:** - Reliable and knowledgeable — 2017 Google review called him fully recommended - Deep permit history — 96 electrical permits filed across Cape towns - Clean regulatory record — BBB A+ grade with no complaints shown **Concerns:** - Licensing unconfirmed — BuildZoom marks status as unable to verify ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - BBB gives the business an A+ letter grade, though it is not a BBB-accredited business _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/south-yarmouth/profile/electrician/michael-d-hollister-electrician-0021-99223) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/south-yarmouth/profile/electrician/michael-d-hollister-electrician-0021-99223) — “BBB profile for a sole-proprietor South Yarmouth electrician (phone matches exactly), NOT BBB accredited but carrying a BBB A+ letter grade;…” - A 2017 Google review called him "professional, knowledgeable and reliable" and said he "came fully recommended" _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://maps.google.com/?cid=309751294903609791&g_mp=CiVnb29nbGUubWFwcy5wbGFjZXMudjEuUGxhY2VzLkdldFBsYWNlEAIYBCAA) — “5★ Professional, knowledgeable and reliable.
