Paul Eklund Electrician is a Braintree-based, family-run electrical contractor — the company says it's been family-owned for more than 35 years — and its Google page is about as clean a record as they come: 32 reviews since 2022, every one of them five stars. The specifics repeat across years: outlet and panel upgrades, EV charger installs, recessed lighting, and rewiring old knob-and-tube service to bring older homes up to code. Several reviewers say they called Paul back for a second or third job specifically because of how the first one went — one homeowner who found him through a friend for a car-charging outlet install has since had him back twice more (a 2023 review). When electrical problems turn urgent, the same pattern shows up: a Sunday call answered within the hour with a same-day temporary fix left safe overnight until a part arrived (a 2025 review), and a next-morning visit after a refrigerator tripped a breaker at 9pm (a 2022 review). The only friction mentioned anywhere in four years of five-star reviews is a single case where an initial estimate looked "way overboard" before Paul scoped it down to the smaller job actually needed (a 2025 review) — a reasonable reminder that first assessments can shrink once he's looked at the job himself in person. A Boston permit-tracking site shows Paul has filed 8 building permits since 2013, all fully closed, at a completion rate above the city median. For panel work, EV chargers, rewiring an older home, or an after-hours call, the pattern is a fast callback, itemized pricing before work starts, and his sons working alongside him.
