Power out for 12 hours over a faulty breaker, dozens of calls, and Soby One had it fixed within two hours: that September 2022 Google review is one of several where a homeowner says this South Dennis electrician answered when others did not. Soby One Home Services is a Cape Cod company doing residential electrical, lighting, air conditioning, generator, smart-home and audio/video work across Barnstable County. The site says it is run by Michael Soby, a master electrician who grew up in a construction family, and lists Master Electrician #A20378. On the state registry, Massachusetts electrician licence #20378 is active, with Michael S Soby as holder of record. Google shows 4.9 stars from 43 ratings, with written reviews from 2021 to 2025. Service and panel work comes up again and again. In a July 2024 review, a homeowner described a whole-house service line upgrade, a new 200-amp panel, hot tub wiring, a granite post light and outdoor GFIs. A June 2023 customer, whose lights were flickering, said the crew replaced an old service line and panel with rigid conduit, an Azek mounting panel and a Lutron panel, and that Michael requested a new line drop from Eversource. A February 2023 review from Brewster said the team gave a detailed quote and did the service and panel upgrade exactly as described. Customers also describe quick response. In a November 2021 review, someone who had called eight local electricians said Soby One was the only one to call back and Michael came within hours. That same month, another customer said two malfunctioning smoke detectors under warranty were replaced the same day, with a follow-up call from Michael the next day. A July 2025 review describes a long-time customer whose jobs have ranged from a full service change to replacing a failed exhaust fan timer switch. The one complaint is from March 2025: a customer said Michael did not show up for an estimate appointment or call.
Mike - you and I have worked on everything from a total service change and up grade to things as small as changing out a simple wall socket. This call today was to replace an exhaust fan time control switch that had failed in the master bathroom. Perfect job brother !!!! Thank you
I made an appointment for an estimate for some electrical work and Michael did not show up or even bother to call.
Michael Soby and his team have been the best electricians that I have worked with. They have helped me with the whole house service line upgrade, installation of a new 200 amps panel, wiring of our hot tub, erecting and wiring new granite post light, adding/replacing outdoor GFIs. They were diligent and they were thoughtful in the way that they designed their work. They were detailed oriented. Their work results were impressive! Michael is also responsive to answering questions. I can sleep sound at night knowing our house’s electric work was done in a high quality fashion.
Mike was so nice to work with he and his crew did impeccable work . He was readily available to answer any questions which was very reassuring . Mike was here for the inspection which went smoothly. It’s nice to feel prepared for whatever nature may bring.Thanks
Let me start by saying, out of the many electricians I called, Soby One called me back promptly .I'm a master woodworker and member of IATSE Local 52 Film and Stage Mechanics in NYC and P-town bread..... where locally, no one called us back with our emergency of flickering lights. Michael and his team put their money where their mouth was and did an outstanding job removing our old tattered service line and panel with a new line complete with rigid conduit, Azek mounting panel and exquisite Lutron Panel. Their work was detailed and clean . They went above and beyond, (craftmanship all the way)! Additionally, Michael took the time to request a new line drop from Eversource. Because his work was so clean, I now have to remove all the old telephone , cable and tv wires that are cluttering the new sense of order that is no longer making our house look like the Munster's or Adams Family. We no longer live in electrical shame and fright.
