Verified record
Paiva's Electric is a Fall River-area electrician that homeowners keep calling back — one reviewer says they've used the company for ten years, another since Crysthian was "just starting out." The name shifts across reviews (Crysthian, Chris, Christian), but the pattern is the same: arrive on time, explain the work, clean up after themselves, and charge a price customers consistently call fair. The jobs range from small to substantial. One reviewer describes Paiva's Electric handling the entire electrical buildout for a new-construction home — wiring and code compliance through the whole build. Others call on the company for narrower work: a ceiling light installed "in moments," a Generac backup generator serviced with the process and parts explained on-site, or a full-panel inspection that turned into a same-day code fix. When something goes wrong outside business hours, they show up — one customer says the crew came out on a Sunday for a beeping fire-detector emergency and fixed it fast; another describes calling after other electricians never returned calls, only to get prompt options and pricing from Paiva's Electric instead. Across the 42 Google reviews on file — all five stars, spanning 2024 through this week — the throughline is reliability more than any single specialty: on time, communicative, and priced the way they say they will. Several reviews are written in Portuguese ("Trabalho top," "Ótimo profissional"), pointing to a client base that includes the area's Portuguese-speaking community. One repeat customer notes Paiva's will work with you on price and deals, and suggests bundling multiple projects into a single visit to get the most out of it — worth raising if you have more than one job in mind. Paiva's Electric looks like a solid call for anything from a quick fixture swap to a full-house rewiring job, especially if you want someone who'll answer on a weekend.

I had an excellent experience with Paiva’s Electric. Crysthian and his team were professional, knowledgeable, and reliable from beginning to end. They arrived on time, explained the work clearly, completed everything safely and neatly, and left the area clean. The pricing was fair, and the quality of the work exceeded my expectations. It’s difficult to find contractors who genuinely care about their customers, but Paiva’s Electric does. I highly recommend them for any electrical project!
Great service! Super fast response and they were super helpful! Fixed the issue fast at a good price! Definitely recommend!
Paiva’s Electric did the entire electrical work for our new house, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Their team was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and detail-oriented. Every part of the project was completed with precision, cleanliness, and a clear commitment to quality and safety. Communication was excellent throughout the build, and all work was delivered on time and up to code. It’s rare to find a company you can fully trust with something this important—Paiva’s Electric exceeded expectations in every way. We couldn’t be happier with the results and highly recommend Paiva’s Electric to anyone building or renovating a home.
