## The honest read

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.

**Strengths:**
- Leo and Rav praised — reviewers cite detailed, punctual work
- After-hours help — fixed an issue by phone late at night
- Fair pricing noted — several reviewers call it reasonable

**Concerns:**
- Language barrier — a 2023 review cited a tech's limited English

**Where sources disagree:**
- BBB lists 11 years in business at the Malden address; a Thumbtack profile under the same principal (Leandro Amancio) lists 12 years and a Peabody address
