## The honest read

Sevigny Electric is Stephen Sevigny's one-person electrical practice, working out of Newton since at least 2009. BuildZoom lists both his electrician license (#21513) and the company's electrical business license as active in Massachusetts, verified as recently as April and May of 2026, and its records show 126 permitted electrical projects — a real body of work even though its written reviews all predate 2020.

The reviews on file, all from 2009 through 2019 on Angi, describe the same habits over and over: showing up early or right on time, giving a detailed and accurate estimate, and finishing jobs faster than expected. In a 2014 review, a customer said Stephen labeled the wiring in their house so future electricians wouldn't run into the same confusion he had to untangle. In a 2010 review, another said his quote was thorough enough that they didn't hesitate to hire him. The jobs described include panel and service upgrades, knob-and-tube rewiring, recessed lighting, ceiling fans, and troubleshooting outdoor outlet problems.

One thing worth flagging: in a 2019 review, a customer said Stephen was more receptive to her husband's input than hers during a lighting project, and that he needed to be pushed before acting on her aesthetic preferences — though she was satisfied with the finished work once he did.

For panel upgrades, rewiring, or general electrical work in a Newton-area home, Sevigny Electric has a long-running, well-reviewed history to draw on, even though that written record is now several years old. Given the gap since 2019, it's worth confirming his current availability directly before scheduling.

**Strengths:**
- Accurate estimates — reviewers cite thorough, detailed quotes
- Fast turnaround — jobs often finished faster than scheduled
- Tidy wiring work — labeled panels for future electricians

**Concerns:**
- Client communication — a 2019 review described uneven attention to both homeowners
- Dated reviews — written record on file runs only through 2019
