Aa Electrician

Aa Electrician — also listed on Thumbtack as AA Electrical Services, at the same Malden address, phone and ZIP — is a one-person shop; Thumbtack's background-check credential names Arlen Andrade as the operator. The business self-reports 22 years in the trade, working houses, condos, townhouses and small commercial jobs. The clearest record of actual work is the Malden-area building-permit history on BuildZoom: 25 electrical permits filed over the years (7 in the last three years, 4 in 2025), spanning residential service upgrades, EV-charger and A/C condenser circuits, GFCI receptacles, and kitchen/bathroom renovation wiring across Malden, Belmont, Arlington and Somerville, plus one Marblehead permit and several commercial lighting-retrofit permits in Methuen and Waltham. Thumbtack shows a single 5.0-star rating, though the review text itself isn't shown on the page. One thing worth asking about directly: BuildZoom's licensing line for this listing is contradictory — it first states no license is required for a Massachusetts electrician, which isn't accurate (Massachusetts licenses electricians through the Board of State Examiners of Electricians), then separately says the license was "Active." Confirm current licensing before hiring.
