Richard F. Joseph, Electrician is a Pembroke, Massachusetts electrician who has self-reported 20 years of experience, specializing in recessed lighting, smoke and carbon monoxide detector upgrades, service changes, and heating/cooling system wiring. On jobs described in the reviews, he was sometimes joined by a brother, an apprentice, or an assistant. The written record on Angi is entirely from 2009 through 2011: in reviews from that period, homeowners in and around Pembroke consistently described fast response, often same-day service, and fair, reasonable pricing. Specific jobs from those years included installing light fixtures and a ceiling fan, replacing an exterior sensor light, diagnosing lost-power and wiring issues in century-old homes, and correcting wiring left behind by a previous contractor. Several reviewers from 2010 said they had already rehired him for more than one project or planned to call him again. Before booking, it's worth asking directly about current availability and recent work: there is no written record here newer than 2011, and the Angi profile does not currently carry Angi's Approved badge. Based on the written record, Richard F. Joseph was trusted for everyday residential electrical work - lighting installation, troubleshooting, and wiring repairs in older homes - with reviewers consistently praising his speed and fair pricing, though anyone considering him today should confirm he is still taking work.
Very prompt, professional and thorough.
Great have hired for several projects and will continue to hire.
Extraordinarily helpful. Explains what he was doing and why. Great person to deal with.
Richard was on time and did exactly as he said he was going to do. I also like that he uses his smartphone to stay organized. He's "our electrician" now!
I would definitely recommend Richard. He answered my service request quickly and showed up promptly. Very professional. He was also very helpful in suggesting his carpenter brother to finish installing my med cabinet.
