Stoddard Electric

Stoddard Electric is a small, owner-run electrical shop at 51 Hobart St in Hingham. Directory listings and its BBB file both date the business to 2002, putting owner John Stoddard at roughly two decades on the South Shore. The reviews that exist are positive across the board — a 5.0 average on Google, though from just three ratings — with matching praise on independent review sites for prompt, same-day service on small electrical jobs. That's a clean track record as far as it goes, spanning 2023 through 2025 across four different listing sites, but it's also a short one; there isn't enough volume yet to call it a deep history. It isn't BBB accredited, and BBB itself has no rating on file — marked "Not Rated" for insufficient information rather than any complaint history, and it shows zero complaints logged. Its BuildZoom listing carries a license badge, but that's BuildZoom's own designation rather than a state-verified check, so it's worth confirming licensing directly before hiring. This reads as a small, clean-slate operation reasonable for routine repairs and small installs — but the online record is thin enough that it's worth asking for a couple of direct references and confirming license status before committing to a bigger job.
