Verified record
Forte Electric is an Attleboro, MA electrical contractor and the renamed continuation of Bristow Electric — its website says the family-owned business traces back more than 60 years under the Bristow name before becoming Forte Electric. Its Massachusetts electrician license (#900) is active on the state registry. The company describes itself as commercial and industrial focused but also serving residential customers, doing new construction, repair, remodel and installation work across Massachusetts and Rhode Island. The written record here is thin: in a 2014 review, a customer called the company honest, kind and easy to work with and highly recommended them, and in a 2022 Reddit thread a commenter recommended Forte Electric directly when someone asked for an electrician, noting it's based in Attleboro but certified to work in Rhode Island too. Worth getting a couple of current references before committing to a larger project, since the online record hasn't grown much recently despite the company's stated decades of history.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Forte Electric, Inc.. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
“(Out of Attleboro MA, but certified to work in RI as well) Forte Electric!”
