Building permit records put John J. Butler's name on 55 permits across several Massachusetts towns, most of it electrical work. He's a Malden electrician with an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. In a March 2019 review, a homeowner with an old house "full of problems" after a fire called him innovative and a good problem solver who kept price options open. Two other reviewers that same month separately praised his clear communication and thorough cleanup, and a June 2019 reviewer summed it up simply: just hire him. All four written reviews on file run from March to June 2019 — a dated record, not a recent one. Its Angi and HomeAdvisor profiles also list 23 years of experience and a Massachusetts Electrical Contractors Association membership, with electrical work spanning dimmers, lighting, outlets and kitchen-remodel wiring.

can't good wrong with this guy,just hire him already.
John is very clear about communicating and is honest and straight forward. He gives very good and practical recommendations.
We have old house that was full of problems. We also had a fire, which results in a lot of issues. He was innovative, a good problem solver, and provided options to keep the price in control. He seems to be very experienced with older homes like ours. I felt fortunate to have found him. He's very pleasant, provided good value and I've recommended him to others
He is good at suggesting options that improve the work and give me more value down the road. He always cleans up after himself well.
