Keith Grealish Electrician

One hundred and ten permits, and the same job keeps coming back: rewiring older houses. Keith Grealish works out of Westwood, and the permit record is knob-and-tube and BX circuits pulled out and replaced, sub-panels added, services upgraded to 200 amps. The largest on file is a $42,000 whole-house rewire in Hingham pulled in 2024; a 2019 Newton Highlands job wired an addition, upgraded the service and ran smoke alarms throughout for $17,000. Small work shows up alongside it - recessed lights on a porch, a 30-amp water heater circuit, an underground feed to a garage for a car charger. BuildZoom scores him 97 and says that puts him in the top 18% of Massachusetts licensed contractors. That score is built on licence status and permit history, not on what customers thought. What customers thought is the thin part. A Nextdoor post from February 2025 carries a neighbour's line - "Highly recommend Keith if you have an electrical needs!" - and BuildZoom states it has received no reviews for him. On credentials, BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts electrician licence, #22134, as active, alongside two City of Newton records whose posted expiration dates fell in 2022 and a third Newton electrical contractor licence marked cancelled. Those are the directory's records rather than a registry check, so ask for the current number and confirm it with the Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Electricians. Right call for: a full or partial rewire of an older Greater Boston home, where the depth and consistency of the permit record is the real argument. Ask for two or three recent customers to call - the paper trail here is deep and the written reviews are not.
