## The honest read

Peter Vitale Electric is a one-man Waltham shop homeowners call for everything from a handful of new outlets to a full basement rewire. The company says it opened in 2008 and has been run by Peter Vitale, a Master Electrician, ever since, covering Eastern Massachusetts including Cape Cod.

Google reviews running from 2023 through this year keep circling back to the same thing: he shows up quickly and leaves the work clean. Customers describe him handling a wide spread of jobs — recessed lighting and a full basement rewire with new outlets, switches and a TV mount; new dedicated circuits for a home gym and computer setup; rewiring a kitchen outlet for a switch from gas to induction cooking. In a 2023 review, a real estate agent under a tight closing deadline had him hardwire smoke detectors through an entire house to meet code, and he turned it around fast. More than one reviewer also mentions him pushing back on something unsafe rather than just doing what was asked.

Before booking, it's worth confirming he covers your specific town, since the stated service area is broad (Eastern Massachusetts and Cape Cod) rather than a short list of named towns — and since this is a one-person operation, it's worth asking about his schedule up front for anything time-sensitive.

He's a solid call for both small fixes and bigger rewiring projects, especially if you want the same person on-site from estimate to finish.

**Strengths:**
- Fast response — reviewers repeatedly cite quick, responsive scheduling
- Full basement rewires — recessed lighting, outlets, switches, TV mount
- Safety-minded — flagged an unsafe request instead of just doing it
- Handles rush jobs — hardwired a whole house before a sale deadline
