Two companies around New Bedford carry Paul J. Benevides's name. Paul's Systems, Inc., where he is listed as president, installs, services and monitors burglar alarms and low-voltage fire alarm systems and takes consultation work; its Better Business Bureau page shows an A+ and 35 years in business. The other, Paul's Electric Inc, is listed on BuildZoom as owned by him, doing electrical work from a New Bedford address with its headquarters given as Narragansett, Rhode Island. BuildZoom lists an Electrical Business license for it plus four other Massachusetts licenses, and shows 8 permitted projects with permit activity running from 2009 to 2023. Alarms and low-voltage fire systems are the alarm company's line; house wiring is the electrical company's. Ask which of the two would sign your contract and pull the permit, look the electrical license up on the state register, and get the scope — and any monitoring terms — in writing.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Benevides Paul J. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
