Louis Benson Electrician works out of Middleton, taking on the kind of residential jobs that start with a fixture to hang or a switch that needs replacing. Better Business Bureau records show Louis S. Benson has run it as a sole proprietorship since 1997 — nearly three decades in the trade, per that registration. The reviews that exist are thin but consistently positive. Google shows a perfect 5 stars, though from just four ratings, and wherever an actual review turns up — on Thumbtack, on a smaller local directory — the same notes repeat: quick response, careful work, and prices customers call reasonable. Nobody who left a real review had anything negative to say. Where it gets murkier is everything around those reviews. Several directory pages — BestProsInTown, BuildZoom, Tupalo, an Opendi listing — confirm the business exists but carry no actual review text, despite some claiming review counts of their own. Self-reported experience is inconsistent too: one profile says 10 years, another says 25, while the BBB's own 1997 start date works out to something closer to 29. None of that is disqualifying, but it's worth asking about directly rather than taking any single number at face value. The BBB gives an A+ grade here, though it notes plainly that this isn't an accredited business — a distinction easy to miss at a glance. For a straightforward fixture, switch, or troubleshooting call, quick response and fair pricing are the two things that hold up across every real review found. Given how sparse the public review trail is for a business this old, ask for a recent reference or two before committing to anything bigger than a small repair or install.

Responded quickly and was very thorough. Excellent work and very pleasant to deal with. Also very reasonably priced. Will definitely use again for any electrical work needed.
— Rick HawkinsView on Google Reviews ↗ I had two electricians back out after committing to do the job prior to hiring Lou. Once I connected he came out within a few days and was able to complete the job at a better price than either of the other contractors I contacted. We had 3 pendant lights and a switch installed above a kitchen island and the work came out great. I would definitely use Lou again.
