J.P. McCurdy Electrical Services, Inc.

Knob-and-tube wiring keeps showing up in J.P. McCurdy's recent reviews — one homeowner this June had the crew clear it out of a 130-year-old Victorian while rewiring a kitchen remodel around a new induction stove. McCurdy Electric says it's been doing residential, commercial, and industrial electrical work out of Lynn since 1988, covering the North Shore and Greater Boston. The names Einstein and Caleb turn up again and again in the last six months of reviews — installing a 100-Amp Square D panel and a dedicated EV charger circuit in June, diagnosing a tripped office breaker the next day in February, and adding six recessed lights to a living room after John McCurdy came out to quote the job himself. Office staff get their own mentions too: Beatriz and Judy are named repeatedly for scheduling and follow-through, and reviewers keep noting the crew clears job-site debris and explains the work before leaving. That pattern of specific, work-related praise — not just five-star noise — runs across 66 Google ratings averaging 4.9, and it holds up at scale: Angi's much larger base of 453 ratings still averages 4.5. Billing on hourly or diagnostic visits is the one recurring sore spot: a May review described being charged for a lunch break and marked-up light bulbs. It's not a one-off — the company's longer review history includes at least one earlier, similarly billing-related dispute, so it's worth pinning down a flat rate or a not-to-exceed number before booking a diagnostic-only visit. For rewiring an older home, a panel upgrade, or an EV charger install, the recent track record is deep and consistent; for a same-day troubleshooting call, confirm the hourly rate up front.
