Jon D. Forde Electrician is a one-person Boston electrical shop with a real paper trail behind it: Massachusetts building permit records show ten electrical jobs filed under the business since 2014, from a kitchen range circuit to a hot tub sub-panel. The only public review on file, posted to Angi in December 2017, called the work "right on time, prompt and courteous" and said the pricing was competitive. It's a single account from almost a decade back, but it lines up with the kind of everyday outlet, panel, and lighting jobs the permit history shows. BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts electrician license (Journeyman, #37024) for the business, last checked in August 2025 - worth confirming directly since that's the only license reference on file. The two directories also don't agree on the address: BuildZoom has 19 Colliston Rd, Angi has 27 Ruskindale Road, both in Boston. For routine residential electrical work - outlets, breakers, smoke detectors, fixture wiring - the permit history backs up someone doing this kind of work in the Boston area for over a decade, even though the online review trail itself is thin.
Good to work with you, right on time, prompt and courteous, I think his prices are competitive.
