Spinale Electric

A hundred and twenty-six permits is a lot of houses. Spinale Electric, run out of North Reading by Joe Spinale, turns up in the permit books across Belmont, Melrose, Somerville, Newton, Charlestown and East Boston — kitchen and bathroom circuits and service upgrades, the bread-and-butter work of a residential electrician. The corporation was incorporated in 2004 and runs with four employees, its BBB page says, so a job here is handled by a small crew rather than a rotating roster. BuildZoom scores its permit-history profile 97 and lists a Massachusetts electrician licence, #17486, under Joseph M. Spinale at the company's North Reading address and phone. Look that licence number up on the state's electrician register yourself before you book, and ask who will actually be on site for your job. A sensible call for a service upgrade, a panel that needs attention, or the wiring behind a kitchen or bath project, anywhere between North Reading and the inner suburbs. Confirm the licence and insurance, and get the scope and price in writing.
