Verified record
Wetmore Electric Inc is a Salem, Massachusetts electrician BuildZoom lists as owned by Michael Wetmore, with 113 permitted projects on record. Reviews describe the kind of work you'd expect from a full-service residential electrician: whole-house rewires, panel upgrades, lighting and fixture installs. The written record runs from 2017 through 2024 across five platforms, overwhelmingly five stars. In an October 2024 review, a homeowner described a whole-house romex rewire replacing old BX wiring, done efficiently and cleanly, with responsive communication throughout. In a May 2024 review, a customer described Mike providing a same-day estimate and a clear written quote for a kitchen-renovation subcontract that grew more complex than expected once the crew found cable runs through an unexpected part of the house. Reviews going back to 2017 repeatedly describe Mike and his crew as prompt, personable and fairly priced. Two things are worth knowing. In that same October 2024 review, the customer said they later learned, as of June 2026, that the business had closed — worth confirming directly before counting on them. And in an August 2023 review, a customer described being upset that the crew mounted a TV and soundbar at a height they hadn't approved during an otherwise-completed 2021 electrical panel job. If the business is still operating, the reviews describe a company worth calling for whole-house wiring or panel work — but given the closure report, confirm directly that they're still taking jobs.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Wetmore Electric Inc. 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
Great work!
Highly recommend Wetmore electric. Mike, the owner, and his team are professional skilled and just overall nice people. They completed a whole house romex rewire to replace old BX in an efficient, clean and timely manner. They were responsive, communicative and dependable! Unfortunately, I just learnt (6/2026) that this business has closed.
Mike Wetmore’s team was a subcontract from my main kitchen reno job (by Kitchen Tune Up in Peabody). But for electricians they company does their own quote and we paid them separately. Mike came to check out the job and provided an estimate within 24 hours. He fully understood the job and the written quote was very clear. On the first day, he sent 3 electricians. The job includes re-wiring and moving switches, some recess lights in the kitchen, and new wiring and installation of a ceiling fan in the living room. The job came out trickier than expected, such as finding cable lines through a complicated multiunit townhouse, and not being able to snake wires in the ceilings because somehow there is no strapping between the ceiling and the joists. We decided to allow all these wholes to be made throughout the walls and ceilings to install the ceiling fan light, so they had to do some extra work, and we had to pay more for all that wall/ceiling repair later with our wall guys (Atmosphere Painting and Plastering, reviewed separately). They also found some stuff behind the walls that previous owner did that wasn’t up to code and they fix that. At the end of my kitchen project, two of his guys came back to finish up all the outlets and whatever they needed to do. They were clean and quick. Similar to Matt’s team at Kitchen Tune Up Peabody (separate review), these guys are very nice and communicable. They did a clean nice job. It was so good, I called to schedule and appointment for my mom’s house for the next day to fix some issues. Price wise, I thought it’s just within normal range of pricing, it’s not the cheapest. But I do value a great experience with good communication, professional workers, and quality work. If you value these things, too, I do think the price is reasonable. A side note, the company uses digital quotes and transaction. I thought that was a nice tough in this digital age. It just makes things clear and the process and transaction a breeze. Overall, I highly recommend this company.
the best . nothing more to say they are the best. they came in did the job great and what they said and did great job at it
Quick with quote, took the time to answer my questions and the crew were nothing less than professional. Couldn’t recommend highly enough!
