Verified record
Jan Bialach Electrician, based in Arlington, has pulled 108 electrical permits across Greater Boston since 2014 โ steady permit volume that points to smaller jobs, service upgrades, and rewiring work for individual homeowners rather than large commercial builds. The one written review on file is old: in a 2012 review, a customer called him "on time everytime" and "very knowledgeable," adding they never had a problem with his work. There's nothing more recent to weigh against that, so the permit trail running through the following decade is what really speaks to how active and consistent he's stayed. Worth asking about directly: BuildZoom's directory listing shows his Electrical Contractor license (#40370) as inactive, with an expiration it last recorded back in 2016. That's worth confirming with him and the state board before signing anything. For straightforward electrical work around Arlington, Somerville, and Cambridge, he has a long, visible permit history โ just verify his current licensing and get a fresh reference before committing to a bigger job.
