Knob-and-tube removal shows up in three of Prestige Electrical Contractors' nine Google reviews — and those three customers did not come away with the same story. The Gardner company holds 4.6 stars from 28 Google ratings, but its written reviews include three 1-star accounts with specific complaints about the work. The sharpest is a February 2025 review of a knob-and-tube removal. That customer wrote that about 1/3 of the live knob-and-tube wires were left in the walls, household lights were wired onto the basement switch, some switches were not installed and motion detector bulbs were put in instead, and wires were left coiled or stapled crooked. The crew returned 3 times and addressed some issues, the customer wrote, before they hired a different electrician; they said the company agreed to reimburse for the repairs and had stalled for months without sending it. The two other knob-and-tube reviews are positive. A May 2024 reviewer said the crew worked quick, was responsive and worked around tenants living in the house, and a July 2024 reviewer called it great work. In an April 2024 review, a customer said a replacement exhaust fan was not secured to the wood structure with screws and hung loose on the foam boards, which they said caused the ceiling to fall down. In an April 2022 review, the buyer of a house the company had wired said every outlet in the kitchen trips the breaker and that two requests for a service quote went unanswered. On the other side, an August 2025 review credits Dominic and his crew with an efficient EV charger installation, and a March 2026 reviewer gave five stars for "Top tier electrical services!" The company's website says it has been in business 10 years, lists towns from Auburn and Fitchburg to Leicester, and offers free estimates. Its Massachusetts electrician licence, #8139-EL-A1, is active on the state registry with Prestige Electrical Contractors Inc as holder of record; the website also cites Electrical License Number-23014-A.
“Dominic and his crew did an amazing job installing my EV charger. They were extremely efficient and professional. I would 100% recommend their services for anyone in need of electrical services.”
Top tier electrical services!
Dominic and his crew did an amazing job installing my EV charger. They were extremely efficient and professional. I would 100% recommend their services for anyone in need of electrical services.
Excellent job! Thank you!
WARNING! STAY AWAY! Prestige did a grossly negligent attempt at knob and tube removal on my home. In addition to leaving about 1/3 of the *live* knob and tube wires in the walls, they wired household lights onto the basement switch, neglected to install some switches and put in motion detector bulbs instead, left coils of wire/wires stapled to the bottom of joists/plates crooked/messes everywhere. I tried working with them to correct the issues. They returned 3 times and addressed some issues, only for me to find even more. I finally said I couldn't trust them to finish the job and hired a different electrician to do an inspection and quote for repairs. They agreed to reimburse for the repairs and have stalled for months, never sending the reimbursement. It has been a disaster. STAY AWAY
Required our knob and tube side great work
