Mr Cape Electrician is a residential electrical contractor based in Barnstable, serving customers across Cape Cod. Its Massachusetts electrician license (No. 55688) is verified active by the state licensing board, held by Adair Martins; Adair and lead technician Sean are both named repeatedly, across years and across platforms, in customer reviews. The business has built a deep, mostly excellent track record: 54 reviews collected across nine platforms since 2022, the large majority five-star, including 6 in the last six months with none of those recent six negative. Customers consistently praise fast, clear communication — same-day or next-day callbacks, texted arrival windows, and steady updates — alongside tidy job sites. The recurring, specific praise centers on panel and service upgrades (several reviewers describe 100-amp to 200-amp service upgrades and new sub-panels run out to sheds or barns), whole-house rewiring and code-compliance repairs in older Cape homes, recessed and decorative lighting installs, and circuit-breaker or outlet troubleshooting. Several homeowners describe hiring the company more than once over multiple years for different projects, a sign of durable trust rather than a single good visit. Before booking, it's worth knowing about one detailed negative account: a December 2022 Angi review described a complex, multi-day wiring and heating job the crew left unfinished, including mislabeled wiring and several weeks of unreturned calls and emails before the customer's concerns were addressed. That review is now several years old and is the lone detractor amid otherwise uniform praise, but it's worth asking directly how the company handles scope changes and post-job follow-up if your project is unusually large or complex. Also worth noting: the reviews shown on Angi and HomeAdvisor are byte-identical — the same ten reviews and 4.7 rating appear on both — so they read as one data point, not two independent ones. For straightforward residential electrical work — panel upgrades, rewiring, lighting, and troubleshooting — this is a well-reviewed, licensed Cape Cod electrician with a long run of specific, credible praise. For a large or unusually complicated job, it's reasonable to confirm upfront how the company scopes bigger projects and how quickly they respond if something needs revisiting afterward.
Great communications and thorough work!
Mr. Cape Electrician was highly professional, responsive and fully addressed my electrical outlet and related rewiring issues. Adair and Sean effectively diagnosed the problem and efficiently repaired the GFI outlet and wiring in a timely manner. I highly recommend the services of Mr. Cape Electrician!
Had the best experience with Mr Cape Electrician. The price was reasonable and the service was amazing. In addition, the job went according to plan with no surprises or added fees. Would definitely recommend!
Absolutely the best!! Just such a gentleman, honest and professional. He is a great communicator and keeps you in the loop at all times. He left not even a speck of dust where he was working. We are so happy we hired him!
Sean was very responsive, and quick to respond. He was so helpful with garage door and alarm issues, in addition to the electrical work. He’s now our electrician for life. A++
