Verified record
Joseph P. Callahan Licensed Electrician is a one-name electrical contracting operation working the Boston area — Brookline, Newton, and surrounding towns show up repeatedly in its permit history. The company's own site says it's been doing this for over 18 years on the home page, or over 16 on the about page, serving Metro West, Middlesex, the South Shore and Boston. There's no customer-review track record to point to, but there is a paper trail: building-permit records show 173 electrical jobs filed under the company's name, concentrated around Brookline, Newton and the greater Boston area. That volume speaks to steady, ongoing work rather than a side gig. A Massachusetts Construction Supervisor license (CS-107952) is listed for the company on BuildZoom, marked active — worth confirming directly with the state before signing anything, since a directory listing isn't a verification. The business is described on its own site as Joseph P. Callahan's company, though BuildZoom names both Joseph P. Callahan and Joseph J. Callahan Jr. as owners, and gives a Duxbury, MA address rather than the Quincy location the company's own site lists — worth a quick call to confirm which address and license details are current. This reads like a working electrician with a long paper trail of permitted jobs rather than a reviewed reputation — a reasonable call for straightforward residential or commercial electrical work in the Boston area, provided you verify the license and address directly before booking.

Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
