Verified record
On Thumbtack, Segmax carries a 4.9-star average across 19 ratings and has been hired 28 times โ a steady, repeat-hire record for a two-person electrical shop working out of Chelsea. Ricardo Melo has run it for about ten years, taking on the outlet, wiring, and lighting calls that fill a typical electrician's week. Homeowners who hired the crew keep coming back to the same two things: someone shows up on time and explains the problem before touching anything. A 2023 review said Melo "was polite as he explained the problem and how he was going to fix it," and left with "all electrical issues resolved." Others describe circuit and lighting work done "efficiently," with new fixtures that "look great and work well" (2022), and a rental-property call where everything was "fixed and running within 4 hours" (2022). Further back, a 2017 review described a two-visit bathroom job replacing a vanity mirror and an exhaust-fan combo, finishing with "great job, fair price." The written record so far runs 2017 to 2023, all on Thumbtack โ five reviews, all positive, with no complaints on file. For everyday electrical work โ outlets, wiring, light fixtures, breaker panels โ the history points to a responsive crew that explains what it's doing as it goes; reach out through the platform to check current availability.
Mr. Melo was so impressive, on time and very professional. He was polite as he explained the problem and how he was going to fix it. By the time he left, all electrical issues were resolved. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a good and honest electrician.
Ricardo at Segmax was excellent. He finished another job went to rental property and had everything fixed and running within 4 hours. He is very responsive and gets the job done! I highly recommend! And will use him again!
He showed up on time, did the work very efficiently, and the new light fixtures look great and work well! We were very pleased and would hire him again.
Did a thorough inspection and found the problem for me. Fixed it, and left his contact in case anything come up again. Professional, well-mannered and efficient. Highly recommend.
Ricardo came out to my condo on 2 Sunday's, once to evaluate what I wanted done and what I needed to accomplish the job. I was replacing the vanity mirror and exhaust/fan combo in the bathroom. He came out on the following Sunday and installed everything and my bathroom looks great and the fan works awesome. I would definitely recommend him to others who needed electrical services. and the bottom line: great job, fair price.
