Secret Shopper (editorial field note)

Planning note: ideal when your week is weekday-flexible and Assateague is on the calendar—less ideal for Saturday-only tourists unless hours expand seasonally. Bring cash assumptions in check; confirm card policies at the counter.

Serious editorial assessment using public licensing categories, service-area claims, and how Ocean City–area property owners typically use electrical contractors—not a paid mystery shop, hidden site visit, or verified trade inspection. Use it alongside Google, Yelp, and BBB snapshots for context, not as a warranty or bid.

OCEANCITY.MD does not verify licenses, permits, or job outcomes—confirm credentials and estimates with the contractor and official sources before authorizing work.
