Moriel Maccari's Electrician

Moriel Maccari's Electrician is a one-person shop out of Malden built around the everyday residential jobs that don't need a big crew — panel and service upgrades, wiring for additions, lighting installs, and troubleshooting calls. Moriel Maccari runs it himself, describing himself on his site as a licensed journeyman electrician; directories put his time in business at six years (Angi) or eight (Thumbtack), so either figure is better read as a rough estimate than a fixed number. The last few months tell a fairly clean story. Seven Google reviews between May 8 and May 28, 2026 are all five stars, and a couple get specific: one customer had smoke detectors installed and called the work reliable enough to recommend without hesitation, another had new lighting put into an apartment and came away calling it neat, fairly priced, and finished on time. One review credits the job to "Moriel and his team," which sits a little oddly next to the one-person-operation description on his own site. Angi and Thumbtack echo the same 5.0 rating, though Angi's five reviews are the same text already posted on Google rather than a separate pool of customers, so the real base of independent accounts is closer to eight than thirteen. A couple of things are worth asking about directly before booking. One of those five Angi reviews is posted under "Moriel M.," the same first name as the owner — it doesn't disqualify anything, but it's worth a raised eyebrow rather than a pass. Angi also lists a Massachusetts electrician's trade license, #62611, expiring in July 2028, but that's a field self-reported to the directory rather than an independently verified registry check, so it's worth confirming directly before signing anything. And as of now, Thumbtack shows him as not available for Electrical and Wiring Repair requests, so that platform isn't currently a live way to reach him. This reads as a fit for contained residential electrical work — a panel upgrade, new lighting, wiring for an addition — handled by a single licensed electrician rather than a company with a dispatch line. Before booking, confirm the license directly and ask how he's currently taking new jobs, since not every platform where he's listed shows him as actively bookable.
