Robert W Carey Electric is a one-person electrical shop working out of Middleboro, Massachusetts, run by Robert Carey since 1992 โ over three decades doing panel work, outlet installs and everyday wiring for homeowners. Its written record on Thumbtack โ a perfect 5.0 across 18 ratings โ holds together job after job. In a 2015 review, a homeowner called the work reasonably priced after Robert installed a dryer outlet from the breaker box to a wall-mount outlet. In 2017, one customer had him swap an old bathroom fan/light combo for a new fixture after moving into a new house, calling him professional and skilled; another that year described a full panel-box replacement and new wiring for an electric water heater as a fantastic job. A 2016 account reads more like a story than a review: a range hood didn't fit, so Robert and a partner shaved down the cabinets to make it work, then wouldn't accept an extra tip for the trouble. In a 2020 review, a customer having an outdoor 14-50 outlet put in described the same thing again โ quick response, fair pricing, tidy work. One thing worth checking before booking: BuildZoom lists an electrician license (#000035336) filed with the City of Newton as inactive, expired back in 2010 โ worth confirming current licensing and insurance directly before signing anything. For straightforward panel, outlet and wiring jobs around Middleboro, the reviews point to careful, fairly priced work spanning small fixes and bigger panel swaps alike โ just get an up-to-date license number in hand first.

Robert ran a 14-50 outdoor outlet for us. He responded quickly, was incredibly knowledgeable and was very fairly priced. His work was very tidy as well! We will hire him again.
Robert was very professional, courteous and skilled when tackling my project. He came in right as quoted and I couldn't be happier with his work. After moving into my new house, I took on a small project to remove my old bathroom fan/light combo. While removing it was a chore I was comfortable tackling, I wanted a true professional to finish the job and install my new fixture. I am a very happy customer and look forward to using Robert again in the near future and would recommend him to anyone I know without hesitation.
Robert is very polite, professional & reasonably priced. I will hire him again for all my future electrical work that needs to be done & I highly recommend him. Robert did a fantastic job installing a new electrical panel box & running wiring for a new electric water heater.
Rob and his partner were GREAT and affordable!! I had the wrong light and they waited for me to go to home depot to get another. Rob and partner were extremely pleasant to work with. They went above and beyond to fit my range hood in a space that was too small by shaving my cabinets. They put in new light fixtures. I figured I'd give them extra for going above and beyong and he wouldnt take it!!! He said it is too much. How often do you see that kind of integrity?!!! If I wasnt relocating, i'd hire him over and over again!! Job well done! Hire this guy!! :-)
Robert was on time and very knowledgeable. Price was reasonable and service was excellent. He install a dryer outlet from breaker box to wall mount outlet. Great professional service.
