Systems Contracting

Systems Contracting is a commercial electrical contractor working out of Plymouth, Massachusetts, serving — by its own account — everything from Worcester east to Cape Cod and the Islands. The company says it has been at this since 1985, run today by President Bob Barnes alongside Mike Burke overseeing operations and Rich Burt running field crews. There isn't much of a public track record to check that story against. The business turns up in the Blue Book electrical-contractor directory going back to 1996, and it holds a single Google rating (five stars, from just one review). Its BBB file lists no accreditation, no rating, and no complaints or reviews on record — the profile there also puts the company's start date at 2000, not 1985, so the two histories don't quite line up. One government record turned up: an OSHA inspection tied to a Taunton, Massachusetts jobsite, filed under the company's mailing address; the file doesn't say what, if anything, it found. For a homeowner or business comparing electrical contractors, there aren't enough independent reviews here to vouch for the work one way or the other. Worth a direct conversation about references and current licensing before signing anything, and worth asking whether the founding-date discrepancy is an old-versus-new-entity quirk or something else.
