John Vespa Electrical Contractor LLC

John Vespa Electrical Contractor is a Dedham electrician the company says has run in the Vespa family since 1989, working panel upgrades, EV charger installs, generators, rewiring and mini-split wiring across Newton, Brookline, West Roxbury, Needham, Norwood and several nearby towns. The site describes a crew of licensed Master Electricians, journeymen and apprentices working under founder John Vespa's name, and Massachusetts' state registry independently lists the company's electrician license as active. Sixty-two written reviews run from 2021 through this year, and the same pattern shows up again and again: technicians who call back quickly, show up on time, and walk customers through the work before starting. A recent review describes a 150A electrical service upgraded to 400A with two new smart panels installed in one visit; in a 2022 review, a customer described a full knob-and-tube rewire from attic to basement finished with a labeled panel and small, neat cuts; and in a 2025 review, another recounted mini-split wiring wrapped up in half a day after a competing bid would have taken a week and cut eight to ten holes into the drywall. Several reviewers describe relationships spanning multiple projects over five, six, even twenty-plus years, and 27 of the 62 reviews on file landed in just the past six months, all of them positive. The one blemish is older: in a 2022 Reddit post, a customer who said they'd used the company for years described being unable to reach anyone by phone or email for a follow-up job. Nothing in the written reviews since then repeats that complaint, but it's worth a second call if a message doesn't get answered right away. For panel upgrades, rewiring an older home, or getting a mini-split wired in the Dedham-to-Newton corridor, the combination of an active state license and a deep, specific multi-year review history makes this a reasonable first call -- just confirm scheduling and get the estimate in writing up front, as with any electrical job.
