D.C. Kaufman Electrical runs out of Waltham, handling residential and commercial electrical work across Greater Boston and the MetroWest towns. The company describes itself as a longtime operation — its own website says over 28 years, other listings put it at 26 or as low as 16, so the exact number is worth taking loosely rather than as settled fact. What holds up better is the pattern across three separate platforms: 4.9 out of 31 on Google, 4.8 out of 8 on Angi, and an A+ accredited rating with no complaints on file at the Better Business Bureau. That's not one glowing source carrying the whole reputation — it's the same story told three different places. The reviews posted so far this year describe an electrician who shows up on time, talks through the cheaper way to do something before starting, and finishes the work clean. One reviewer called it their second time using the company, which is its own kind of endorsement. A couple of things are worth asking about directly. Angi lists a trade license number for the business, but Angi's own page flags that number as self-reported and unverified, not something the platform checked itself — confirm current licensing when you call. And two Angi reviewers mentioned paying more than competing quotes, so it's worth getting a second bid if price is a factor. For a straightforward residential or commercial electrical job in the Waltham/MetroWest area, this is a shop with a consistent track record across every platform it's listed on rather than a single lucky cluster of reviews — just verify the license and get pricing in writing before committing.

Great service. The electrician was on time, very pleasant and polite. Suggested ways I could save money and did the work quickly and efficiently. I have used them before and will continue to use and recommend them in the future.

Very good work. I have now used them several times and will again. They were pleasant and cleaned up after themselves. I felt very satisfied with the job.

Great company, I am also an electrical contractor and we had to hire them to repair a damaged electric radiant floor heat we had installed. The 2 guys showed up on time, very professional, had all the best tools for this type of repair, and did a great job. They both took great care in the protection of the floor and surroundings They only had to remove a very small amount of tile, made a very nice and professional repair and completely cleaned up there mess. We are very happy with the service and would recommend them to anyone wit this issue.

We contacted D.C. Kaufman to do a major electrical upgrade to provide for a new EV charger and conversion to heat pumps. Dave was very accommodating and patient with the many design options we were suggesting. The installation crew was excellent, the job was done on time and in a professional manner. We highly recommend and would use again.
