Verified record
Michael A. Farelli is a Methuen electrician with permit records BuildZoom has tracked for years — 87 permitted projects on file, four of them filed in just the past three years, almost all electrical work at Methuen addresses. The listing describes 22 years in business, a figure BuildZoom attributes to him rather than an independently confirmed founding date. His two reviews on file, from 2019 and 2025, are both five stars. In a 2025 review, a customer paid $1,300 for several electrical jobs in a basement and said Michael "took the time to explain everything to me in detail and went above and beyond." In a 2019 review, another described a bathroom remodel and finished basement where he corrected past electrical problems, calling the service prompt, quality, and fairly priced. BuildZoom also scores him 99 out of 100 on permit volume alone — above 85% of the roughly 139,000 contractors it tracks statewide — a measure of activity, not customer sentiment. His Massachusetts electrician license is active. BuildZoom separately shows him holding a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor license, which BuildZoom's own verification lists as active as of mid-2026 — useful context for the remodeling work (bathroom, basement, additions) that shows up alongside the electrical permits, though only two written reviews cover any of it directly. For electrical work or a remodel that needs electrical correction in the Methuen area, the permit history here is substantial even though the written reviews are few — worth asking for recent references given how thin that sample is.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Michael A. Farelli. 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
Several items $1,300. Michael and his team are amazing! Helped me out with a couple of jobs in my basement and I couldn't be more satisfied and grateful. He took the time to explain everything to me in detail and went above and beyond. I would recommend him to anyone who asked. I actually had a neighbor refer someone else to me about my latest job and my response to him was, I got a guy who I'm very happy with and trust.
Remodelled a bathroom, added a bath and finished basement. Corrected past electrical problems. Prompt, quality service at a fair price.
