## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- Transparent billing — accurate estimates and no inflated hours, per reviews
- Panel and wiring work — reviewers describe successful upgrades and installations

**Concerns:**
- Alleged intoxication — two 2025 reviews reported him arriving under the influence
