Verified record
When a dishwasher outlet needed a hardwired replacement, Multi-State Electric Corp's crew traced the wiring back to the service panel and had it fixed in record time. That kind of quick, precise troubleshooting shows up across nine years of reviews for this Carver, Massachusetts electrical company, which the business's own website says has served the South Shore for over four decades and is now run by Jake Howes, continuing a business his father started. Reviewers on Angi and HomeAdvisor -- both showing a perfect 5.0 from nine ratings -- repeat a few things: fast work on wiring and outlets, and customers who keep coming back. One wrote in 2026 that she had used Multi-State for numerous projects, from new wiring for a well to outdoor lights and even the doorbell; another said he had hired the company for many years for both home and business work. When a storm was bearing down, one customer said the crew had them back up and running the same day. One thing worth confirming directly with Jake: BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts electrical business licence for the company, #3649. A recheck by that site in September 2026 still found the number expired, unchanged since 2022. Angi lists a different number, 9197, and HomeAdvisor lists another, 22677; both list a 07/31/2028 date. None of these three numbers has been checked here against the state registry, so ask to see current licence paperwork before booking. Neither directory lists the company as offering emergency or after-hours service, so plan for routine scheduling rather than a middle-of-the-night call. Multi-State is a reasonable call for everyday residential and commercial electrical work -- panel and outlet repairs, pool and yard wiring, small remodels -- from a company with a long run of repeat local customers; just get the current licence number confirmed before the crew starts.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from MULTI STATE ELECTRIC CORP. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.

“Multi-State Electric Corp.”
I had my basement finished and Jake and his crew did all the electrical work. They were professional and got the work done on time.
They came out in a timely fashion due to the upcoming storm and had us up and running again the same day.
They researched the problem and replaced the wire from service panel to outlet in record time with excellent results.
He put in an outlet for our pool, and made sure the pool would be safe to swim in. His cost was reasonable.
I've used Multi-State for many years now for various residential and commercial electrical work. Always done a great job at a very fair price and quickly.
