What customers say about Resendes Electric splits on the same line every time: the crew's work, and whether anyone calls you back. In October 2025 a reviewer of roughly eight years wrote that the crew does good work but that Charlie is a terrible communicator who does not return calls or texts and cannot schedule predictably. Two days earlier another customer called them a top-notch group who answered every question, made educated recommendations, worked quickly and cleaned the work area daily, at pricing they found very reasonable. The licence and the Better Business Bureau file are in Carlos Resendes's name; reviewers call him Charlie. Massachusetts electrician licence 20891 is active on the state registry, the BBB grades the four-person Swansea shop A+ on a twenty-year file without accrediting it, and BuildZoom records 57 permitted projects. Three other accounts are worth settling before you book. A September 2023 reviewer says a voicemail was never returned. A May 2025 tenant says the crew wired new smoke detectors while they were at work and left boot prints and dust across the floor. An older 2018 BuildZoom complaint describes $275 of outlet replacements followed by a second visit where an outlet was moved and connected without running the wiring back to the basement breaker box. If you can live with chasing the schedule, the work itself is what brings people back — a 2024 reviewer had used the crew for a business and then for their own house. Agree the start date, the daily clean-up and who to call when the schedule slips before the first day.
while his crew does good work; charlie is a terrible communicator. Does not return calls/texts, can not schedule predictably and leaves you hanging repeatedly. After ~8 years of frustrating interactions I'm finally looking for a new electrician. There are more competent options out there.
Top notch group . Answered all my questions. Made educated recommendations. Worked quickly and efficiently. Cleaned up work area daily. Starts from the top with Charlie down to each employee I met . Respectful and curtious. Importantly, pricing was very reasonable.
They wired new smoke detectors in the building that I rent from while I was at work and left a mess and dusty boot prints all over my floor for me to clean up when I got home. I work in the trades too, clean up after yourselves! Especially when you’re working in someone’s apartment that doesn’t have anything to do with the scheduling or coordination of your work! That’s just disrespectful!
Charlie and his crew are fantastic. I have used them multiple times for my business and now my house and they are very professional neat clean and always get the job done. I would highly recommend.
