TDL Electrical Contractors

TDL Electrical has no customer reviews on its BBB page or on BuildZoom. What it has instead is a permit trail: 136 permitted jobs on BuildZoom, 19 of them in the last three years, across Plymouth, Norwell, Falmouth, Hanson and Marshfield. That work is mostly small and residential — the typical permit runs about $3,500 — and it puts the company at a BuildZoom score of 103, above 90% of the 139,240 licensed contractors in Massachusetts. Its Massachusetts electrical business licence is active. The BBB grades it A+ and dates the business to January 2012, with three employees, though it has not sought BBB accreditation. The story the company tells about itself is Matt Logan's. He says he joined the Army out of high school and served an extended tour in Bosnia with the 10th Mountain Division before building the business, which carries his first son's initials. The site describes a veteran-owned, owner-operated shop doing troubleshooting, panel and wiring work, generators and lighting for homes and businesses, with 24-hour emergency service and coverage reaching Quincy. Two things worth pinning down before booking. Ask who the master electrician of record is: BuildZoom carries an unverified Master Electrician entry whose last-checked expiration was July 2016, sitting next to the company's separate, current electrical business licence. And ask for references from recent jobs — the permits show a steady run of small residential electrical work, but nobody has written publicly about what the crew was like in the house. For a panel swap, a generator hookup, or a remodel's rough-in on the South Shore or Upper Cape, the permit history is real and checkable. Confirm the licence and the references yourself before the truck rolls.
