Verified record
Kenneth Holman Electric has been Ken Holman's own name on the truck since 1994 — he trained at Coyne Electrical School, made Journeyman in 1988 and Master Electrician in 1989, and still runs the Allston company himself, deliberately keeping it small. Its Massachusetts and New Hampshire electrician licenses are both active and state-verified. The business has built up 90 recorded projects on BuildZoom, with a score in the top 12% of Massachusetts contractors and a verified license on file there too. In a 2024 review, a small-business owner in Boston who has had Holman handle electrical work for years called him "very professional" and described calling him for an emergency and getting a next-morning visit — the kind of on-call reliability that shows up in what little public feedback the shop has collected. Given how few written reviews exist despite three decades of work, it's worth asking for a couple of recent local references. But the licensing and project history back up a real, established practice — one suited to trickier or more specialized jobs, like theater lighting, security and surveillance wiring, knob-and-tube replacement, or generator installs, as much as routine repairs.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Kenneth Holman Electric. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
Estimated range

I have a small business in Boston and Ken has done our electrical work here. Very professional, nice guy. I just called him for an emergency and he is coming tomorrow!
