Collum Electric is a family-owned electrical contractor based in Avon, Massachusetts, working commercial, residential, and industrial jobs across the South Shore and Greater Boston. The company says Dennis T. Collum started it in 1978, and his sons Dennis M. and Brian joined in 2003; the site puts the business at 48 years running. BuildZoom shows 288 electrical projects pulled by the company, concentrated in Cohasset, Hingham, and Norwell. Its BBB page shows an A+ rating, where the business is listed as Collum Electric Co with a 1987 start date. BuildZoom also lists three license numbers for the company: a Massachusetts Electrical Business license (#1492), a Massachusetts Electrician license (#7384), and a Maine electrician license (#MSS60018653). The company's own site and its BBB listing disagree on how long it's been operating — 1978 on the site, 1987 on BBB. Confirm each license's current status with the state registry and ask about experience with your specific type of job before booking.
