Florence Electric

Florence Electric is a Canton, Massachusetts electrical contractor at 290 Pine Street, founded in 2004 and operating as a division of The Kaydon Group alongside Kaydon Integrated Technologies, with additional offices in Merrimack, New Hampshire and Tampa, Florida. BBB records about 200 employees and names Eli Florence as owner and David Florence as manager, and ENR's 2024 New England listing shows Eli Florence as president. Its credential checks out where it matters most: the Massachusetts state registry lists electrician licence 2291 as active, held by FLORENCE ELECTRIC LLC — the company itself, not a namesake or a predecessor entity. The work it documents is commercial and institutional. Its own materials describe electrical construction, design-build electrical, tele/data infrastructure, wireless networks, CCTV, access control, fire alarm and IT services for Fortune 500 companies, building management firms and specialty general contractors, with named projects including senior-living buildings for Brightview Senior Living and the Leonard Florence Center for Living in Chelsea. Its Procore listing puts average project size above $13 million, which is why no homeowner rating is published here. Third-party recognition is genuine and dated. The Boston Business Journal named the firm the #1 midsize company to work for in Massachusetts in 2014, and the Associated Builders and Contractors of MA with the Gould Construction Institute awarded it the Platinum S.T.E.P. safety award in 2014 after Gold in 2011. It also took an ABC Merit Award for the New England Studios project. In 2026 it marked its twentieth anniversary at Gillette Stadium. Google shows 4.0 stars from 19 ratings, but only four short bodies are retrievable and none describes an identifiable job — one is a two-word greeting to an employee. A 2025 employee review on Indeed describes organisational changes made without the writer's involvement and a position discussed for elimination. If you are a general contractor, developer or facilities team with commercial electrical, low-voltage or fire-alarm scope in New England, this is a licensed, award-recognised firm worth shortlisting; if you are a homeowner, confirm first whether they take residential service work at all.
