Verified record
Melrose Electric Co. is a family-run electrical shop in Melrose, run day-to-day by owner Edward Wise, who the company says built the business and has served the Melrose neighborhood since its founding, with no specific start year given. The stated work is residential — wiring, panel upgrades, and emergency repairs — and the company lists a broad service area stretching from Melrose out through Malden, Medford, Wakefield, Stoneham, Saugus, Winchester, Reading, Woburn, Arlington, Somerville, and Cambridge. There isn't much of an outside track record to go on yet: the only rating on file is a single five-star Google review, which is too little to draw a real conclusion from either way. The site describes the company as Massachusetts-licensed, but that's its own description rather than something confirmed against the state registry, so it's worth asking Edward Wise directly for his license number before signing anything. For a homeowner in Melrose or one of the nearby towns needing wiring work, a panel upgrade, or an emergency call, this is a small operation worth a quote — just go in knowing there isn't a deep public record to lean on yet.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Melrose Electric Co.. 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
