Verified record
Richard A. Burrows is listed as an electrician in Swampscott, and that listing is thin in ways worth knowing before you call. The licence position is the substance. BuildZoom shows Massachusetts licence 18467 against his name and labels it active, but marks it "License Not Verified" and says the last expiration date it saw was May 2016. Checked against the state registry, that number comes back expired, and the registry's holder of record for it is a different person altogether - so it is not evidence that this contractor is licensed. A second number, 9482, is a plumber licence the directory records as having been cancelled. BuildZoom's own profile carries an alert that no active licence is on file and gives the business a score of zero. The work history is two permits, both in Peabody and neither electrical: a boiler gas permit in 2012 and a second-floor bathroom remodel plumbing permit in 2010. No reviews are published, so no rating is assigned. Before hiring for any electrical work, ask for a current Massachusetts electrician licence number in his own name and check it directly with the state.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Richard A. Burrows. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.
Standard receptacle swaps — a new dedicated circuit is a bigger job ($350–$750).
Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
