Mister Sparky

Mister Sparky's Woburn location is the Greater Boston North branch of a national electrical franchise, and the names homeowners keep writing down are its own: Shavo, Dave, Travis, Jay, John Clark, and Ben, who answers the phone and handles scheduling. On Google it holds 4.9 stars from 44 ratings, with 4.9 from 18 on Thumbtack and 5.0 from 5 on HomeAdvisor. The jobs are everyday residential electrical work. A June 2026 customer hired the team twice — first for four fan-rated boxes and four ceiling fans, then to take down a chandelier 21 feet up and hang a new one — and said the crew wore shoe covers, cleaned up, and priced by the job rather than by the hour. Others describe EV charger installs, new basement lights, outlets, a carbon monoxide detector swapped for a plug-in unit, and landscape lighting fixed on the spot. A May 2026 reviewer said the technicians found potentially dangerous wiring in a basement light fixture and disconnected it. Speed shows up in specifics. In a March 2026 review, a customer whose lights started flickering had a technician out within 45 minutes; another that month had Shavo at a condo within a few hours. A May 2026 caller got a next-morning 8–10 window and the electrician arrived shortly after 8. Not every visit went smoothly. A May 2026 reviewer said their CO detector was not fixed the first time because of a miscommunication, and Ben set up follow-up appointments. The one 1-star review, from August 2026, came from a customer who called on a Sunday asking for two outlets installed the next day; they say the company agreed, then the technician said a permit was needed, the work could not be done same day, and it would cost $1,500. The customer called that excessive for an easy job and said the technician would not leave when asked.
