A customer in November 2025 needed one ceiling light hung and wrote that it went up in moments; she came away calling Paiva her go-to electrician. That is a lot of what people hire Paiva's Electric for — the small job finished on the visit — but not all of it. In January 2026 a customer had the entire electrical package for a new house run by the same crew. Paiva's Electric does residential and commercial electrical work across Massachusetts: maintenance, repairs and wiring for new and old construction. Crysthian is the one who turns up, usually with a helper, and several reviewers have been using him for years — one wrote in October 2024 that he had worked with him for the past ten, and another in May 2025 said she had hired him since he was starting out and still rates his troubleshooting above anyone else's. The jobs in the reviews are recognisable ones. In July 2025 a customer had a Generac generator serviced and was shown every part and walked through each service performed. In September 2024 another wanted his panel checked for code compliance, was told it looked right apart from one minor change, and had that change made on the same visit. In July 2024 a homeowner with smoke detectors beeping — after other electricians never called back — was given two options with prices and picked one. A May 2024 customer had a third floor remodelled and said Paiva knew the permits and worked well alongside the other trades. Availability is part of it. One customer had him out on a Sunday in August 2025 for an emergency. Another wrote in May 2024 that the way to get the most out of him is to stack several jobs into one visit, and that he will work with you on price to do it. The 57 Google ratings average five stars, and the written accounts run from May 2024 to August 2026 — seven of them posted inside a single week that May, and a fair number only a few words long. For a panel, a generator, a rewire or the light that has been out for a month, this is an electrician customers describe as quick, tidy and fairly priced. Ask for the Massachusetts electrician licence number and the permit plan before anything goes inside a wall — his permit knowledge is one of the things reviewers praise, so it should be easy to get in writing.
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.
