Verified record
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Steven C Papuchis Lic. Electrician. 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.
Estimated range
$530 – $1,100
Typical electrical project around $820
A recent lighting-installation review gives the clearest picture of Steven C Papuchis: careful about the details, willing to talk through fixture choices, and checking that the finished setup matched what the homeowner wanted. He operates an electrical business from Peabody, serving homes and commercial properties in Peabody and nearby North Shore communities. The company says Steven runs each project himself and has worked locally since 1994. The written history covers 17 reviews from 2018 through 2026. Google currently shows 5 stars from four ratings, while Angi shows 4.9 from 172 ratings. The freshest detailed account, from July 2026, praises both the finished lighting work and the communication during installation. Older Angi accounts add useful examples: a 2019 customer described wiring a wall-mounted television and thoughtful equipment placement; others that year mentioned a bath-fan repair that worked through unexpected complications, a Nest thermostat installation with a fuse-box explanation, cleanup, and prompt responses. Those dated examples should be read as history rather than a promise about every current job. There is one practical question to settle before booking. A 2019 Angi review was mixed about scheduling delays and pricing, and says Steven replied publicly to the concerns. The company's tenure language also needs a little caution: the site says both that Steven has worked locally since 1994 and that the business has 37 years of experience, figures that do not line up exactly in 2026. This looks best suited to a homeowner who wants to deal directly with the electrician for repairs, wiring, lighting, controls, or an electrical upgrade. Confirm the scope, schedule, and price in advance, especially for a project that reaches beyond straightforward electrical work.
Great attention to detail Worked with us to get just the right lights for the job. Talked to us throughout the installation to be sure it was just as we wanted. A pleasure to deal with
Steven was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. I recommend him without hesitation for electrical and handyman work. He does more than that, so ask him. You will be pleased with the results.
He was professional and quick. Did great work.
Very professional and efficient, customer-friendly; would recommend.
Helped run coax and wiring for a wall-mounted TV; suggested good placement to hide boxes.
