Verified record
Lighthouse Electrical Contracting is a union electrical shop in Hingham that's grown a long way from where it started — founded in 2002 by journeyman electrician Herbert Aikens as an IBEW Local 103 signatory contractor, the company says it now fields more than 100 electricians and technicians doing commercial construction, fire alarm, low-voltage, and solar PV work across Greater Boston. The few written reviews on file back up the long track record more than they showcase any one job. One customer described subcontracting Lighthouse's work repeatedly over 15 years, calling it smooth from quote through completion; another, writing in 2023, said Isaac had a small electrical problem assessed and fixed within a day, with workmanship they called excellent; a third, also from 2023, described using the company for multiple school projects and praised its responsiveness and craftsmanship. The company also lists a 2021 ConstructSecure Gold Safety Award among its credentials — a safety-program distinction more relevant to institutional clients than a homeowner calling about a single job. What's on file here is thin — three reviews — so it's worth asking directly about availability and pricing for a residential-scale project, since the public record leans toward long-term commercial and institutional relationships rather than one-off house calls.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Lighthouse Electrical Contracting. 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
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
We have subcontracted Lighthouse Electrical's service many times over the last 15 years and they have been great to work with every time from quote generation all the way up through executing on the project once approved. Highly recommend Lighthouse and their team.
Do not hesitate to hire this company. Isaac was beyond helpful. Our project was small. Within a day he was here assessing the problem and had it fixed. Workmanship was beyond excellent. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Will use again for any electrical needs.
We've used them for a few schools now and they are nothing short of amazing. Incredibly responsive, efficient and most importantly, very knowledgeable with a can-do positive attitude. They're craftsmanship is impeccable and my only gripe is that they aren't available nationwide. They've set the bar really high and I can't thank them enough for the amazing work.
