Michael R. Fagnant

Two Cape Cod homeowners tell nearly the same story about Michael Fagnant. The storm pulled the wires off the house; the utility crew said they couldn't reconnect them; Fagnant came out and did it. One of those calls came the day after a blizzard, and the reviewer's whole point was that he showed up. That is the shape of this business — the one-truck electrician you reach for when the power is out and the day is already going badly. The company works out of Sandwich under Michael R. Fagnant's own name, and his Massachusetts electrician license, number 33609, is active in the state registry. Trading as Fagnant Electric on HomeAdvisor, the company says it has 41 years of electrical experience — its own claim, not something confirmed independently. BuildZoom's unclaimed profile lists 96 projects, with permits filed in the electrical, plumbing and gas trade categories across Cape Cod and the South Shore between 2016 and 2024. The written history runs 42 reviews from 2023 through 2026, and it is uniformly positive: 5.0 from 17 Google ratings, 5.0 from 53 on HomeAdvisor, with a single 4.5 in the whole set and no complaints anywhere in it. The same three words keep surfacing — fast, fair, personable. A rental-property owner who called on a Friday in peak season got a callback in fifteen minutes and damaged breakers replaced within four hours. Another had three exterior flood lights installed and took his card on the spot. A third had an EV wall charger wired and called the price very reasonable. The work spans the whole small-to-mid residential range rather than one niche. He wired a new house from scratch for one customer, staying flexible on changes mid-build and offering to come back for dimmers or timers after the move-in. In a 2023 review, a homeowner described him swapping out smoke detectors for the correct ones; in a 2024 review, another described water leaking into a fuse box, diagnosed and fixed with pricing they thought reasonable. Several reviewers make a point of saying he didn't try to add work — one wrote that he assessed the issues and didn't upsell. Two things are worth pinning down before you book. Its HomeAdvisor profile offers no warranties and lists no emergency service, which sits oddly beside all the storm-callout praise — so if the job is urgent, ask directly rather than assuming. Estimates are free per that same profile. For breaker panels, service reconnections, EV chargers, lighting and the ordinary electrical repairs that pile up in an older Cape house, this is a straightforward call.
