John J Butler Electrician

John J. Butler Electrician is a one-person electrical contracting business based in Malden, Massachusetts, holding Massachusetts electrician license #50298, which the state licensing registry currently verifies as active. The business reports 23 years of experience and membership in the Massachusetts Electrical Contractors Association. In 2019 reviews on Angi and HomeAdvisor, four customers rated the work 5 out of 5, describing clear communication, honest and practical recommendations, and thorough cleanup after jobs. In a 2019 review, one customer described hiring the business for an older home with fire damage and praised innovative, cost-conscious problem-solving and experience with older houses. BuildZoom's permit records separately list 55 recorded building permits, mostly for electrical work, though that platform shows no customer reviews. The written review record is entirely from 2019, so there is nothing on file describing more recent work. BuildZoom's own listing shows the same electrician license as inactive with a stated 2016 expiration and a 'no active license on file' alert — a discrepancy with the current state registry check — and separately lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#105049) as inactive or cancelled. BuildZoom's profile also gives a different Malden address (308 Albion St) than the BBB listing (36 Chestnut Street). For electrical work in the Malden area — outlets, dimmers, recessed or landscape lighting — the reviews on file describe a communicative, careful electrician, though homeowners should confirm current licensing directly with the state and ask for a recent reference given how dated the written record is.
