Paul's Electric

Paul's Electric works out of 739 Ashley Blvd in New Bedford, doing business as Paul's Electric, Inc. BuildZoom lists Paul J. Benevides as the owner, alongside a headquarters address in Narragansett, Rhode Island. Google shows a 4.3-star average across six ratings, and in a review posted in December 2025 a customer called the work "excellent." That's the only written review that has surfaced online so far, but BuildZoom's permit search turns up eight completed electrical jobs recorded under the company's name, and its BuildZoom trust score of 91 puts it above roughly 63 percent of Massachusetts's licensed contractors. The license picture is worth double-checking directly with the state. BuildZoom marks the company's electrical-business registration (#9277) active, but the same number also shows up on BuildZoom as an inactive electrician license and an inactive architect record, and a separate number (#13713) appears both as an active electrician license and as an unverified master-electrician license that expired back in July 2016. None of these are registry-verified in this listing, so it's a case of ask-before-you-book rather than an established red flag. With a handful of directory listings and one short review to go on, Paul's Electric reads like a small, local operation with a decent permit history rather than a business with a deep public track record — fine for a straightforward job, but worth a quick license check and a couple of references first.
