Melanson Electric's calling card is its permit trail: BuildZoom shows 131 permitted projects, mostly electrical, clustered in Waltham, Newton and the towns around them from 2021 onward. The profile lists Michael Melanson at Brucewood Road in Acton. BuildZoom also lists an Electrical Contractor license in Newton for the company, and its own scoring puts it in the top 10% of the Massachusetts contractors it tracks. For electrical work in the Waltham–Newton area, ask which of those permitted jobs most resemble yours. Confirm the electrician's license with the state Board of State Examiners of Electricians, ask for a certificate of insurance, and get the scope and price in writing before work starts.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Melanson 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
$530 – $1,100
