Sheehan Electric is an Amesbury electrical contractor whose written reviews split hard: three short, happy accounts of smaller jobs, and one long September 2024 Google review from a new-construction client that describes a job gone badly wrong. That 2024 reviewer, who names Patrick and his crew, says they often failed to show up and came out only when threatened with termination, double charged for work the reviewer's photos showed was not done, changed the hourly rate mid-job without notice, and left adjustable lighting set to mismatched colors, smart switches not installed and pantry lights wired to a second-floor bathroom circuit. The reviewer says another electrician was hired to finish the work. A later edit to the same review reports that the EV charger wire had not been screwed down at the breaker and burned, and that the breaker tripped. The other accounts are older and much shorter. A March 2023 Google review praised the quality and attention to detail. In a January 2019 BuildZoom review, a homeowner said Mr Sheehan and his crew arrived on time, installed 12 recessed lights in two rooms, upgraded old wiring at a fair price and cleaned up afterward. An April 2014 BuildZoom review describes a backyard motion-detector light, fairly priced. On Google the business holds 3.7 stars from 6 ratings; BuildZoom shows 116 projects and its BBB grade is A+. On licensing, the Massachusetts state registry lists electrician licence #4201-EL-A1, held by Sheehan Electric Co, as expired. A Maine electrician licence, MS60021470, held by Patrick A. Sheehan, is active on the Maine registry. BuildZoom also lists Massachusetts numbers including Electrician 16432, Master Electrician 7772 and Home Improvement Contractor 204516.
Patrick and his crew are among the worst electricians I've ever encountered. He handled a new construction project for me, and I couldn't be more disappointed. He frequently failed to show up, and I had to repeatedly beg him to come out, only to be met with empty promises. He would only arrive when threatened with termination. He double charged for work he claimed to have completed, even when I had photo evidence proving otherwise. I had to remind him multiple times about tasks he neglected, and ultimately, I had to hire another electrician to fix the mess after he was "done" His team was incompetent; they installed adjustable lighting but never coordinated on the settings, resulting in a mishmash of colors throughout my home that I’m now left to correct. Patrick significantly overcharged, used cheap products, misrepresented his hours, and caused unnecessary delays and expenses due to his inability to complete the job properly. He also decided to change his hourly rate mid-job without notifying anyone. Edit: Reposted my review after looking at your website to confirm. Patrick, unfortunately this was you and your crew. That’s your van and logo below in the driveway. I didn't even want to post this however, I am still cleaning up the mess you guys left. Fixing wrong temperature lights, LEDs that have already failed. Smart switches that werent installed. Trying to figure out why pantry lights don't turn off to find out you paired them with a whip to the second floor bathroom. Hopefully you can use this a learning lesson to better your company. Edit: Only posting here as more developments from Patrick's quality work! His crew didn't screw down my EV charging wire into the breaker, resulting in it burning. Thankfully, the breaker popped or would have been a panel fire. I'm surprised it took this long to happen, but its time finally ran out. You can see how loose it was in the video...as well as the double-tapped breaker :)
Great work, amazing quality. Lots of attention to details.
Mr Sheehan and his crew showed up on time and did a great job installing 12 recessed lights in 2 rooms for a very fair price. They also had to upgrade the wiring from original stuff. They look great! Also cleaned up everything. Highly recommended.
installing a motion detector light for my backyard, awsome job, very fairly priced, would def. recommend him.
