Ryan Silvia does business as R.Silvia Electrical Contractor out of North Dartmouth, Massachusetts, taking on residential electrical jobs like panel upgrades, wiring, and outlet and fixture work, and lists trade licenses in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island. Across ten reviews on Angi and HomeAdvisor from 2023 to 2026, most homeowners describe him as punctual and professional, with several praising specific, honest billing practices — one 2025 review noted he assessed the problem, gave an upfront estimate, and didn't inflate his hours. Others describe concrete electrical work completed to satisfaction, including a panel, meter, and wiring upgrade and a rewired heating system. Two reviews from late 2025 are a clear outlier: both accuse him of arriving to the job smelling of alcohol and behaving unprofessionally. His two most recent reviews, from May 2026, are both five-star and describe on-time, professional work at a fair price. For straightforward electrical repairs and upgrades, the majority of the record points to careful, transparent work, but the two 2025 complaints about his condition on the job are serious enough that a homeowner should ask around or confirm current standing before booking.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Ryan Silvia. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
Ryan was on time , great work ,very professional. I will use him again on other projects. Price was very reasonable.
I got lucky, Ryan was in the vicinity and called from the road and came right over. Friendly guy and got right to work. Did an excellent job at a fair price. I'd recommend.
This man is rude, disrespectful and he came to the job drunk and hungover. I don?t recommend hiring him.
Ryan was on time, assessed and explained the problem(s), gave estimate, purchased materials, provided receipts and did not inflate his hours worked and provided accurate billing. He did everything that needed to be done today in a straightforward and professional manner. I put his name and number in my contacts for future needs.
I hired Ryan to fix my outlets and change them out for new ones since the old ones were outdated. He smelled badly of alcohol and was drunk when he came to the job. Please don't hire someone who drinks right before a job. Terrible customer service experience and will be reporting him.
