Edwin D. Molina

Ninety-six permitted electrical jobs at a typical value of about $2,800 — Edwin D. Molina is the electrician you call for one room, not one house. Working out of Reading, the permits describe exactly that kind of work: rewiring a kitchen and bathroom, hardwiring smoke and carbon monoxide detectors, adding receptacles and switches for a sunroom, running power out to a shed and setting a sub-panel, and small circuit changes tied to siding work. Two of the jobs were commercial office fit-outs in Danvers; the rest read residential. BuildZoom lists the practice simply as electrical work. The geographic spread is worth noticing. Permits turn up in Beverly, Marblehead, Manchester, Danvers and Newbury on the North Shore, but also Everett, Arlington, Brookline, Milton, Newton, Lowell, and one job as far west as Springfield. That is a wide radius for a one-person shop, so ask about travel and scheduling for your town specifically. The licensing picture is the thing to settle before anything else. BuildZoom flags the profile with an alert reading 'No active license on file' and gives it a score of 0 on that basis, while the licence block further down the same page prints electrician number 11329 as active with a July 2025 expiration. Those two statements contradict each other, and neither is a state confirmation. Massachusetts electrical work requires a current licence, so ask to see it and check the number directly with the state E-Licensing Board before any work starts. Nobody has written a public review of this electrician, so there is nothing to weigh on how the work landed or how the jobs were handled. For a small, well-defined job — a bathroom rewire, detectors, a sub-panel — the permit history at least shows this is work he does routinely. Confirm the licence status yourself, get the scope and price in writing, and ask for references on a comparable job.
