C. Tsolias Electrician, run by Cre Tsolias out of Dedham, has built a working history across the Boston area with 88 electrical permits recorded by BuildZoom — a solid track record for a single-name operation. In a 2024 review, a homeowner described hiring Cre for a full rewire of an old house mixing outdated knob-and-tube wiring with newer circuits, calling it a difficult job to sort out. They said Cre came in with the lowest of several competing estimates and praised her as talented, attentive to detail, and flexible in her approach — enough to earn the only Google rating on file, a 5★. BuildZoom also lists a Newton electrical contractor license (#12428) for the business, though its own last check on that license dates to 2022 rather than a current confirmation. With just one written review, there isn't a deep record to draw on yet, but the permit history and that account both point to real, ongoing electrical work — worth confirming the current license status directly before booking, especially for an older home's wiring.
We have an old house which had a mixture of old and new electrical wiring. The old (knob and tube) wiring needed to be completely replaced with new code-compliant wiring. Figuring out what was old, what was new, and the interconnections made this a difficult job. We got a few estimates from contractors, and Cre Tsolias gave us the best and lowest estimated price. We would recommend Cre to anyone who is looking for superior electrical work. We found Cre to be talented and experienced. She listened to us; she was creative and flexible in her approach; she payed attention to the little details; she was well organized and extremely productive; and she was a delight to deal with. Her crew is a talented and hard working bunch, and a really nice group of individuals. When the work was in progress, Cre communicated with us on a regular basis. After hours or on weekends, Cre always picked up the phone or got back to us right away. At the beginning of the job she gave us a timetable, and she stuck to it. Once the work was completed, we were extremely pleased that the bill was on the low end of her cost estimate. We couldn't have imagined this job going more smoothly.
