Shawn Ratte is a Danvers-based electrician who works mostly residential jobs around the North Shore, judging by six 5-star Google reviews posted over the past year. The reviews describe a range of work: adding a hidden outlet behind a TV above a fireplace, wiring a home addition on a tight construction timeline (where he also helped plan the lighting layout), and installing a heater with a notably clean job site. Several customers mention using him more than once, and one recent review from a repeat client says they'll keep calling him for future electrical work. The recurring theme across all six reviews is reliability and communication — customers repeatedly note he's quick to respond, shows up on schedule, and leaves the work area clean. There isn't a negative review on file yet, though the sample is still small. Nothing specific to flag before booking beyond the usual: confirm scope and timeline in writing for anything beyond a small job.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Shawn Ratte Electrician. 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.

Shawn Ratte did various electrical work around our house. Work was done correctly and professionally. Would recommend to anyone who needs anything done!
We needed an outlet added above our fireplace so we could move our TV. Shawn made sure the outlet would be hidden behind the TV. He got the job done quickly, cleaned up everything and was very responsive. 10 out of 10 experience, will be using Shawn for all of our electrical needs moving forward.
Shawn recently helped us with an addition to our home, and we had a tight timeline to meet. He went above and beyond to make sure everything stayed on schedule. He was prompt, reliable, and extremely knowledgeable throughout the process. He even assisted with the design and layout of the lighting, which made a big difference in the final result. We would absolutely recommend his services—especially given how unreliable some tradespeople can be.
I recently had a heater installed by Shawn and he did a great job from start to finish. His professionalism and clear communication, was appreciated. What stood out most was his cleanliness; he kept the area neat throughout the installation and left everything spotless when he was done. The final result looks great and works perfectly. Highly recommend his services.
Cannot recommend Shawn Ratte enough! He is efficient, timely, and has an incredibly attention to detail. Don’t think twice about contacting him for any of your electrical needs - you won’t regret it.
