W.S. Anderson Inc.

W.S. Anderson is a Brockton-based electrical contractor run by owner Warren Anderson, offering residential, commercial and industrial electrical work with 24-hour emergency service across the Brockton, Easton and Canton area. Its Massachusetts electrician license is active, and the company holds active Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office Minority and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certifications, good through mid-2027; a separate Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration on file for the company is expired. The written record is thin — three reviews spanning 2017 to 2026 — but permit records tell a fuller story: BuildZoom's permit-history data puts the company in the top 5% of Massachusetts licensed contractors by its own scoring, with 84 permitted projects on file and about 25 in the past three years, mostly electrical work plus some commercial renovation. The reviews themselves split. A 2026 review described Warren showing up within 45 minutes during a blizzard to fix a circuit breaker shorted by leaking water — a genuine emergency handled well. A 2025 review told a less flattering story: quoted $150 an hour for a non-emergency call, the customer says a single faulty outlet fixed in under an hour still came to a $390 bill, more than double what the quoted rate implied. For electrical work in the Brockton area, especially emergencies, this is a licensed, long-running, certified minority- and disadvantaged-owned business with a substantial permit history — but given the billing complaint above, it's worth asking for a not-to-exceed estimate on routine repairs before work starts.
