The first thing to settle with W. H. Hughes, Inc. is the paperwork: the Massachusetts electrician licence in the company's name, number 7358, is expired on the state registry. The Waltham company is listed as an electrical contractor — an unclaimed Procore Construction Network profile puts it at 100 Clematis Ave. On Google it carries 3.3 stars from three ratings, and an April 2026 review does not mince words: "Some of the rudest people you'll ever encounter, Craig in particular," it reads, and it closes "Stay far away." For permitted electrical work in Massachusetts a current licence is not optional, so start there — ask whether 7358 has been renewed, get the current number and a certificate of insurance in hand, and settle the scope and the price in writing before anyone picks up a tool.
