Stephen Cappadona's own site lists Marlborough, Westborough, Southborough and Hopkinton as his service area, states 10 years in business, and says he offers free estimates and is insured. The site gives license number 54255-B. The Better Business Bureau lists him with an A+ grade and as accredited. In a 2025 review, Steve came out on a Sunday to look at two outlets that were no longer working, knew in less than 5 minutes that the GFI needed to be reset, and did not charge a weekend rate. In another 2025 review, he stopped by on a Saturday morning, the day after the call, to look at an issue with the circuits in a garage and took care of it on the spot, then refused to accept any payment. About 19 years before a 2025 review, Steve installed all of the electric for a kitchen update, and he had helped with a few other repairs over the years since. In a 2024 review, Stephen and his family installed recessed lighting through a whole house and were very particular about cleaning up before they left. In 2024, Stephen installed two exhaust fan lights for a house. In another 2024 review, he installed a new light fixture and dimmer, and his pricing was called "extremely fair." In a 2024 review from Hudson, after a few lights were replaced and one was the wrong kind, he came over the next day and worked with a very tight weekend schedule. In a 2023 review, Steve came out quickly to quote moving outlets on one wall and adding an outlet and fan, and his brother, Mike, did the work on short notice where there was some old wiring. In 2021, Stephen and Josh installed and vented a new bathroom fan. In a 2021 review, he was very clear about his estimate and very detailed in cleaning up and repairing the walls. In another 2021 review, he added more circuits, both outdoors and indoors, and on a third call he showed up the next day and thoroughly fixed the problem.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Stephen Cappadona. 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
Steve came to my house to look at 2 outlets that were no longer working. I figured the wiring had been chewed by squirrels as I've had this issue in the past. Steve came out on a Sunday which no other electrician would work weekends. He didn't even charge a weekend rate. He looked at the outlets and in less than 5 minutes knew the GFI needed to be reset. He saved me time, money, and educated me on how to deal with this type of issue. I tipped him for his time even though he refused. I will be calling Stephen for all future projects. Hire this man.
Steve installed all of the electric when I tore out and updated my kitchen about 19 years ago and did a great job. Steve has helped me out with a few other repairs over the years and he has always done a great job and been a pleasure to work with.
I had an issue with the circuits in our garage. Called Steve on a Friday and we talked about what was going on. Steve stopped by the next morning (a Saturday) to take a look. He was very professional and easy to talk to. He took his time to describe what the issue was (something simple) and took care of it on the spot. Steve refused to accept any payment which was incredibly nice and unexpected. I will definitely reach out to Steve with any future projects and recommend him to others.
Friendly, fast, responsive, on budget. Already referred him to family and will happily work with him again.
Stephen has come out multiple times since we have been in Hudson. He’s always easy to talk to and extremely patient in explaining different options and has also given good advice. He’s also very reliable and always on time. Most recently we had a few light’s replaced and one was the wrong kind, by far no fault of Stephen’s but he was able to come over the next day and work with our schedule that was very tight on a weekend. Will definitely recommend Stephen to anyone looking to get any electrical work done and we’ll definitely be reaching out the next time we need work done. Appreciate his expertise.
