Stuart Brown Electrician, also known as SB3 Services, is a one-person electrical business whose reviews describe him personally handling most jobs — panel work, outlet installations, generator hookups, and troubleshooting calls. Google shows a 4.6-star average from 23 ratings, and the specific jobs reviewers describe back that up: a 2024 review recalled baseboard heaters installed at a fair price, with conduit routed outside the building to keep the look clean; a 2023 review described a whole-home generator outlet installed exactly as agreed, calling the work high quality and the price fair; and a 2022 review described GFCI outdoor outlets installed and clearly labeled at the panel. Several reviewers describe using him more than once and consistently getting fair pricing. Reviewers disagree on one thing: how easy Stuart is to reach. Two 2023 reviews specifically praised him as the only electrician, out of several called, who returned calls or answered at all. But a January 2023 review described being put off for six weeks before the work happened, calling the contract overpriced and the appointment squeezed in late on a Friday, and a 2022 review simply said a call was never returned. Between those extremes, a 2022 review described a same-day diagnosis of a bad dryer outlet with the breaker replaced the very next day. The work itself gets consistent praise once it happens — fair pricing, careful detail, and repeat customers — but the reviews suggest scheduling and follow-up can be inconsistent, so it's worth confirming a firm timeline before committing to a job.

Stuart installed several baseboard heaters for us. Gave us a fair and reasonable price and did meticulous work. Took to heart our aesthetic requests about running conduits outside the building. Stuart took his time to make sure everything was done right and looked good as well, including cleaning up afterwards. It may take a while to get on his schedule, but he is worth the wait and we highly recommend him.
Stuart Brown was the third electrician I met but the only one who returned my subsequent phone calls & texts. The others simply “ghosted” me - totally unprofessional! Although my projects were put on a Waiting List, when Stuart did begin the work, he was both personable & professional, committed to the project which resulted in a masterful job. Both outside lamp posts and lanterns were replaced, requiring digging & cement footings and restoring a rock wall. The result: timed lighting illuminating my property, enhancing the view and providing safety to the dark area. Next, Stuart replaced the dropped ceiling in the basement, destroyed by busted frozen pipes & mice dropping which included updating the fluorescent lights to modern LED fixtures. However, Stuart’s most impressive work was his ingenuity in resolving the flooding problem in the basement. He caulked the bulkhead, realigned the gutter, removed blocking vegetation, thus altering the flow of water thereby eliminating any further flooding. Stuart assessed the situation and devised a viable solution. So, I’d say I am thrilled with STUART BROWN’s craftsmanship, ingenuity & fair pricing and therefore recommend him & his skills.
Great work thanks again!
I only hire licensed professional contractors that have come highly recommended from reviews of others. Stuart was one of those contractors and he was exactly what people had said about him and he was really great and checked all the boxes that I needed such as properly licensed, fully insured, professional, neat appearance and quality work & of course at a very fair price. I gave him the credit card deposit to book the job then after it was completed I paid him the balance owed by credit card. You can absolutely trust Stuart to do what he says he will do as outlined in the contract you sign with him.
It all started with 3 smoke detector combos and a shorted out doorbell. Stuart was the only one to answer after calling 10 other electricians. Not only that, but he committed to the job and stayed committed. He was on time, professional, but still friendly. In the course of conversation I found out that he does a lot of other work. He’ll actually be redoing our kitchen! Stuart also recommended people who do work he doesn’t do. He gave us the name of someone who can put up a new fence. Talk about good value for you money! Thanks so much for your work, Stuart!
