St. Germain Electric is an electrical contractor run by Mark St. Germain, serving Massachusetts and New Hampshire from a Boston, MA base. Mark holds a Massachusetts electrician license (#21939) verified active in the state registry, and the business's own site says he has worked as a licensed master electrician in both states for over a decade. Eight Google reviews, all five-star and mostly from 2026, describe a mix of demanding residential and commercial work. One reviewer says Mark has been the electrician for The Boston Home, a Dorchester facility, since 2019, handling large projects including an outdoor hardscaped garden, a new clinical facility, and exterior security lighting. Another reviewer, who manages rental properties, describes years of commercial-type work: network and power line runs, mounting TVs and displays, setting up conference rooms, and troubleshooting electrical issues in occupied units, calling the relationship reliable and easy to coordinate with clear communication. Specific residential work described includes diagnosing and re-securing aluminum wiring that was causing outlets to burn out and sourcing code-compliant hardware for it, and installing security cameras throughout a personal training center in Quincy, praised for a timely, clean installation and competitive pricing. A separate reviewer who manages historic buildings with older electrical systems says finding a qualified contractor was difficult until they found Mark, and that he has taken on every unique challenge those buildings present. The business is not BBB accredited, and BBB has not rated it for lack of information; its own website also states two different New Hampshire license numbers on different pages, which is worth clarifying. Otherwise the record here, drawing on both routine and specialized commercial and residential jobs, is uniformly positive with no complaints on file.
In addition to a reasonable price, I was impressed that he called straight away, followed up and completed the job and then made sure that I was happy with the job. Additionally, he made sure to clean up and do all the small intangibles that make a difference in a project. Prompt, professional, courteous.
Mark is a fantastic electrician and all around guy. We had outlets that were burning out. Super scary because we have a toddler 😬. Turned out we have aluminum wiring, which is no longer used and not code compliant for new builds. We couldn’t afford to rewire the entire house. Mark helped us research a code compliant solution and sourced harder to find outlets that are suitable for aluminum. He updated all the corresponding breakers. Then our panel started to be reactive because aluminum just isn’t great and the new breakers kept tripping. It took a lot of trouble shooting and creative thinking but Mark helped us get through an otherwise tough winter until we could determine the best path towards a full house rewire. He’s very honest, transparent, punctual and responsive. As a woman I never felt talked down to (as some contractors do because they think women don’t understand technician information). He answers questions with specificity, does proper and transparent contracting, and will refund any extra money if the costs come in lower. Honestly, he might be one of few contractors left that are truly trustworthy. Highly recommended.
I own a small personal training center in Quincy Mass. I needed to install cameras in the entire facility . I hired St. Germain Electric , and am so happy I did . They installed the cameras in a timely fashion , their workspace was immaculate , and there price extremely competitive . I highly recommend this business !
Mark has been the electrician for The Boston Home in Dorchester since 2019, and we greatly value the service he has provided. He brings a personal, direct approach that makes it clear you are working with the business owner himself, while also having the expertise to handle very complex electrical work. We have engaged Mark on several large and technically demanding projects, including providing electrical service for a major outdoor hardscaped garden, opening a new clinical facility, installing extensive exterior security lighting, and troubleshooting and resolving code-related issues. In every case, his work has been thoughtful, reliable, and professional. We could not recommend Mark more highly. He has been a trusted partner and a valuable resource to our organization.
I work in IT and also manage a few rental properties, so I’ve brought in St. Germain Electric for a pretty wide mix of commercial-type work over the years, running network and power lines, mounting TVs and displays, setting up conference rooms, troubleshooting electrical issues in occupied units, and handling general upgrades and repairs. They’ve been consistently reliable and easy to coordinate with, which matters a lot when projects involve tenants, office staff, or active workspaces. Scheduling has been straightforward, they communicate clearly about what’s needed, and the work is always neat and done properly so we don’t end up dealing with follow-up problems later. They also understand how to work around business operations and existing tech setups instead of treating everything like a basic residential call. Mark in particular has always been professional on site, knowledgeable, and focused on getting the job done right without making things more complicated than they need to be. From both an IT and property management standpoint, they’ve been a dependable company to call anytime we’ve needed electrical work done in a business or multi-unit environment.
