Nadeau Electric

Old houses are the specialty here. Nadeau Electric works out of Woburn across Greater Boston on residential rewiring, knob-and-tube removal and the electrical side of kitchen and bath work in older homes, with some light commercial alongside it. The company's Massachusetts electrician licence, 3662, is active on the state registry. Jim Nadeau is a master electrician and has run the LLC since 2007, by his own account in the bylines he carries on trade sites. The Better Business Bureau lists 21 years in business at the Woburn address, on a page that is neither rated nor accredited. BuildZoom lists 153 permitted projects under the company and an active Massachusetts electrician licence, number 20480 — a separate record from the company licence on the state registry. He writes about the trade as well. His pieces on A Concord Carpenter and Tool Box Buzz cover why a licensed electrician matters and the dangerous wiring he has come across on jobs; that is the electrician's own writing rather than a customer's account. No customer reviews appear on the BuildZoom profile, so what there is to weigh is the permit history, an active state licence and a stated specialization in older-home wiring. If your house still has knob-and-tube, or a panel from another era, this is a reasonable call to make. Ask for two references from rewires in houses like yours, for the licence number as it will appear on your permit, and for the certificate of insurance.
