Joe Resendes has been wiring houses out of Rehoboth under his own name since 2000, and what customers kept writing about is what happened to the number he quoted. In a 2003 review a homeowner said he worked through a holiday weekend and put in more hours than the job had been planned for without changing a dime on the estimate. After a 200-amp service upgrade and a new generator plug in 2020, another customer wrote that he stayed until the power was back, finished on the second day, and was pleased with the work and the price quoted alike. Resendes Electric Co. is a one-man business: the Better Business Bureau lists it as a Rehoboth sole proprietorship owned by Joseph Resendes since 2000, graded A+ though not accredited. His Massachusetts electrician licence, #40671, is active on the state registry in his own name; the BBB listing describes it as a journeyman electrician registration. The company's site says it covers southeastern Massachusetts — residential, commercial and industrial — with 24/7 emergency calls, generator installs and full wiring and lighting work. The BBB service list goes further than most residential electricians do, naming motor control design, plant maintenance and repair of DC motors and controls. The written accounts run 2001 to 2020 and keep circling the same few things. A 2002 customer described him suggesting smoke detectors and fixture types and then rewiring an entire downstairs and basement. A 2001 homeowner said he returned the call quickly, gave an estimate without being pressed, and finished inside the week he promised. Another, writing in 2002, said he was willing to adjust several projects as she changed her mind. Angi's 5.0 average covers 20 ratings across those years. The thing to weigh is the age of all that. The newest customer account on file is from March 2020, so those specifics describe how Joe worked then, not how his schedule or his pricing run today. The most recent published mention is from 2022, when the Fall River Reporter described a high-school student completing a cooperative-education placement at the business. He suits a southeastern Massachusetts homeowner who wants the licensed owner himself on a panel upgrade, a generator hookup or a whole-floor rewire rather than whoever a dispatcher sends. Because everything written about him is now several years old, make the estimate conversation the test: ask him to price your job in writing and to say plainly when he can start.
“Jacob has excelled at his Cooperative Education placement at Resendes Electrical, all the while maintaining a rigorous course studies in honors classes”
I upgraded my service to 200 Amps and added a generator plug. Joe did an outstanding job and worked until we had our power back. He finished up on the 2nd day and was a pleasure to work with. I am very pleased with the work and the price quoted.
Very satisfied with his work.
Does great work in timely manner. Very knowledgeable.
Very quick to respond and provided a fair estimate which was well below others I had researched. Joe worked in the house through a holiday weekend to get the job done. Though the job required him to work more hours than originally planned, he did so without changing a dime on the estimate and completed the job within a week. Very fair, honest and focused on quality. I would highly recommend him.
Resendes Electric was great to deal with, did a wonderful job at a very fair price and I would definitely use him again when anything comes up.
