D.C. Kaufman Electrical, Inc.

D.C. Kaufman Electrical has been doing electrical work out of the Waltham/Newtonville area for a long stretch — the Better Business Bureau, which lists the company as an Accredited Business with an A+ rating, puts it at 26 years; the company's own website says 28. Either way, the reviews span from 2018 through this year, and the throughline across nearly all twenty on file is the same: on time, cleaned up, and thorough. The specifics are what stand out. In a 2023 review, a homeowner describes calling Dave in after a storm knocked down a utility pole and left them without power for four days — the crew was out within a couple hours to re-run the underground wiring, communicating clearly with the homeowner's spouse while she managed things solo. A late-2024 review describes a major EV-charger and heat-pump electrical upgrade where Dave worked patiently through several design options before the crew finished on time. Another, from a fellow electrical contractor, describes hiring Kaufman to repair a damaged radiant floor heat system — they 'had all the best tools for this type of repair' and left the floor and surroundings protected throughout. Several reviewers have used the company repeatedly: one says they've called on D.C. Kaufman for more than a decade across both a personal home and rental properties, and another mentions this being their third job with the crew, a one-hour fix for a flickering kitchen switch and a dead outdoor floodlight. Office manager Marisa comes up by name in a couple of reviews for handling scheduling and billing promptly. The only real friction, and it's minor: two older Angi reviews from 2018 note the pricing runs higher than average — one calls out a $150/hr rate — though both reviewers still rated the work itself positively. Angi's profile also lists a self-reported trade license number that hasn't been independently verified. For anything from a routine repair to a bigger electrical upgrade tied to an EV charger or heat pump conversion, this is a crew with a long, well-documented history in the area — budget for a rate on the higher end of the market.
