Smart Choice Solutions is a Malden electrical contractor whose reviews keep naming the same two people — Leo and Rav — for showing up on time and explaining the work as they go. The Better Business Bureau's profile puts the company at 11 years old with an A+ grade (it isn't BBB Accredited); a Thumbtack profile under the same principal, Leandro Amancio, lists 12 years and a Peabody address, along with a completed background check and a self-reported master electrician license. The reviews on file lean toward new-construction and general residential wiring. In a 2025 review, a homeowner describes Leo and the team fixing an electrical issue over the phone at 10 pm on a cold night rather than leaving it until morning; another from the same year credits the company with 'bailing me out of a nightmare scenario' on a new-construction job. A cluster of 2023 Thumbtack reviews echoes the same themes — fair pricing, responsive communication, and clean work on new-construction electrical. The one sour note: in a 2023 review, a customer said the technician sent to the job spoke mostly Portuguese with only a few words of English, making it hard to ask questions about work being done in their home, despite feeling they paid a high price for the visit. For new-construction electrical work or a wiring job that needs walking through step by step, this is a company several homeowners have called back on — just be ready to communicate through whichever technician shows up.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Smart Choice Solutions, Inc.. 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.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
I recently had Leo from Smart Choice Solutions handle some electrical work on my house, and I couldn’t be more pleased with their service. From start to finish, Smart Choice Solutions was professional, punctual, and incredibly detail-oriented. They explained everything clearly, kept the workspace tidy, and made sure all the new wiring was done to the highest standard. I’d definitely recommend them to anyone in need of reliable electrical work!
Wonderful experience! Rav was pleasant, professional, knowledgeable, reasonably priced and efficient. He's now my go to Electrician. Absolutely a delightful experience all the way around.
Hands down best in the business. From new construction to bailing me out of nightmare scenario. just ask around, Leo is a household name in the building industry.
Smart Choice Solutions provided exceptional service, arriving on time, clearly explaining every step of the process, and completing the electrical work with meticulous attention to detail - I would highly recommend them to anyone needing reliable electrical repairs. Special thanks to Ravair Costa, Leo, and his team. It was 10 pm on cold night, and they came to fix the electrical issues just the phone once. Thank you.
For the high price of service that these guys charge, I would expect that the technician be able to speak english. This business sent a tech who spoke only portugeuse, and a few basic words of english. So, you can't communicate meaningfully with the person who is doing work on your home or ask them questions. Hard pass on this business in the future. EDIT: I am reviewing the correct business. It's called an alias, to protect my identity.
