Verified record
Nadeau Electric is a Woburn shop built around old-house wiring. Its site describes residential rewiring, knob-and-tube removal and kitchen and bath electrical work in older Greater Boston homes, plus some light commercial jobs, and its Massachusetts electrician licence, #3662, is active on the state registry. The work shows up in permit files: BuildZoom lists 153 permitted projects under Nadeau Electric, LLC of Woburn. Its Better Business Bureau profile describes the same mix for homeowners — new electrical installation, upgrades, service and repair. Jim Nadeau owns and runs the business and is a Master Electrician; contributor bios on aconcordcarpenter.com and toolboxbuzz.com say he started Nadeau Electric LLC in 2007, and he writes for both sites about the trade, including why a homeowner should hire a licensed electrician. A 2018 piece on aconcordcarpenter.com opens on his first electrical job. For an owner of an older Greater Boston house facing a rewire or knob-and-tube removal, this is squarely the work the company describes. Ask for a written scope and price before anything is opened up, and for a current certificate of insurance.
