Recent Electrician Reviews in Brighton
- MA Design & Construction CoMA Design was an amazing partner for our bathroom renovation. As with any old home, there were some issues we knew about (e.g. lack of vent, mysterious 2-inch threshold, plumbing stack below roof line), and then there were the mystery issues we knew we were bound to discover. We needed true professionals who could handle anything we found, and the entire MA team rose to every challenge. Our project finished within the timeline (minus a small glass delay) and would have finished on budget if we hadn’t added to scope and gone for some higher end finishes. It was a huge undertaking but we are so happy with how the project came out and still can’t believe it’s our bathroom. Marc and Raquel were fantastic to work with and we’d definitely recommend them
- MA Design & Construction CoOriginally we had hired MA Design to renovate two of our bathrooms, one being a full gut renovation of our Master Bathroom in 2021. We had such a good experience working with MA Design for our Bathroom renovations that we just had them come back to complete two other large scale projects. A full Kitchen refresh as well as a brand new back yard which included new stone patio with propane fire pit, new trex deck with integrated lighting, and a fully screened in porch. This was a large amount of work (in a difficult space as our back yard is only accessible by stairs so all work must be done by hand) and we really weren’t sure on what we could fit in the area. Marc & Raquel walked us through the full design and gave us options to find what worked best for us, and we are thrilled with our results. Would highly recommend for any projects for your home, indoor AND outdoor. We love our transformed house!
- AR Home Renovations CorpI hired Andre and his team to help me renovate a new condo which included opening up the main space and creating a more functional kitchen before I moved in. I also had him remodel the bathroom and create a series of "camouflaged" closet doors to keep a small space looking bigger. He also built and tiled a "chimney" to house gas fireplace that was installed. He was very cognizant of my budget and assisting me to reprioritize when the need arose. He and his team finished in good time and we had constant communication and onsite weekly meetings. Andre stands behind his work and it shows. I would definitely hire again and again
- Cotti-Johnson Heating-Cooling-ElectricalJ.T. came to evaluate installation of an over-the-range microwave. He was very thorough and explained everything so I could understand the complexities of the installation. Very friendly and competent!
- VMA Electric IncI was very pleased with the work that was done. I also appreciated how easy it was to coordinate the details of the work and how thoroughly everything was communicated to me. I’d definitely hire again! Thank you!
- Cotti-Johnson Heating-Cooling-ElectricalJason came on time, was friendly and easy to work with. One of the projects couldn't be completed because I had the wrong device and he discounted the price we originally agreed on.
- VMA Electric IncWhat I love about VMA is that you can get Residential electrical work quoted 2 ways: Time/Material (emergencies), or they can send a man out and quote the job. You may also take detailed pics, send it in and they can quote it that way. My old electrician they did everything old school w calling, & didn't even like emailing, but not VMA who texts, calls, and emails. 2 professional, Journeymen Electricians did 3 separate days of work last month at my house, from the VMA Residential/Service division. They replaced/installed 7 exterior lights, replaced 2 exterior outlet fixtures with Arlington housed outlet boxes, installed one new Arlington, extended light fixture wiring and 2 doorbell wires, and exchanged a transformer for a larger one, to handle the video loads from Nest and Arlo doorbell cameras. I purchased all the fixtures, & doorbell cams. They supplied the Arlington boxes. The 2 electricians were very efficient, quiet, fast and clean. They made sure fixtures were leveled, and working. One of the 4 glass sides of the exterior light fixture broke cleanly and they honestly brought it to my attention, vs just burrowing it. I just double taped it w clear packing tape, and he put the glass in the rear of the fixture so it wouldn't be seen. I didn't want that to hold up the light install, and will deal w the Amazon merchant I bought light fixtures from afterwards. I had a lot of other construction going on, and the 2 electricians were able to do a lot in the timeframe they had despite all the other noise/work/men around. They fixed cut outlet wires from a bedroom new window installation, moved an outlet 3" to accommodate a stud inserted to shore up the new window. The cut wires were a surprise, and to get the city's Wiring Inspection approved, Cindy the Svc Manager, was very helpful in getting the electricians here stat, & the Building Inspector also stat, who had a 3 wk backlog. I had VMA Electric quote me for a porch and their pricing was much better vs another electrical competitor in Marlborough. The guys are Journeymen level, so aren't outrageously priced like Master Electricians, in the same town, who I had been using. When the Residential side has a lot of work, they can smtms pull guys from the much larger Construction Division. In all, VMA had to come out 3 times, bec the work was staged in between inspections. I love their work and do not hesitate to highly recommend. Just know electricians are expensive, and it cost $2,300 total, up front for all that work. Had I used the Master electricians the bill would've likely been double, as found out they were double/triple charging me the town's Permit fees in addition to double all the same work VMA does
- Ayotte Home ImprovementsIf you are looking for someone who is organized, always on time and communicates effectively then Ayotte Construction is the company you want to hire. I can't say enough about how well of a job Bob and his crew did for us. Were extremely pleased with the results. We would hire him again no questions asked
- D & S Partners ConstructionNew electrical and plumbing work was done in an old house to install new laundry appliances on a second floor. The job was complex and D&S Partners did an excellent job of planning, installation, and finishing work. They also did an excellent job of replacing a rear deck that fit well with the style of the house
- Cotti-Johnson Heating-Cooling-ElectricalDaniel and team was very professional, knowledgeable and personable. I had a smart switch issue with multiple poles and they were able to solve the problem and make the right connections. Additionally, they identified a faulty breaker and replaced easily. Any other services they recommended as part of the whole house safety assessment, they did not push for anything and was very clear on the optionality and overall value if I wanted to pursue. I ended up electing a whole house surge protector as it was something I was considering and their service made it an easy decision to move forward with it. Overall, I had done a great deal of research and very glad I went with Cotti-Johnson

"I rarely / never take the time to write reviews, but I consider it an honor in this case. Malvern did some electrical work at my house that ended up being not much in the way of "work" at all. In fact, he talked me OUT of having any actual work done by showing me simple fixes to problems that have been plaguing me for quite some time. Frequent trips on dining room circuit were due to too many incandescent bulbs. Flickering lights in another chandelier were due to a loose connection. A "rewiring" problem was fixed by simply plugging something into a different (less vulnerable/loaded) outlet. There were some other things he showed me as well, but the approach was the same: incredible troubleshooting to find the lowest/no-cost solution.
Malvern did all this without making me feel like an idiot, which would have been appropriate given that "user error" was the closest thing to a common denominator across these varied issues.
THANK YOU, Malvern, for your incredible ethic and patience. Consider me a reference for life.

"I could not be more pleased with DiMasi Electric. We were having an issue with some outlets in our kitchen. The DiMasi team was super responsive from our initial inquiry through completion of the job. As soon as I explained the issue, they knew how to solve it, and when they arrived exactly on time a few days later, had it fixed in an hour. They were also very upfront about pricing and came in well below the estimate they provided us. DiMasi will be our first call the next time we need electrical help!

"Could not be happier with Joe, Rob, and Jose. Start to finish, this was the one of the best contractor experiences I've ever had. Joe was responsive and clear in discussing the work plan, quick to provide a proposal and schedule the work. Rob and Jose were on time, neat, and professional. They worked with me to clearly describe options when unexpected challenges arose in fishing new wires, and asked for my input whenever decisions needed to be made. The final result is even better than I expected. To top it off, my boiler had an electrical failure after Rob had left (which was unrelated to the work they had completed), and Rob drove back to my house, diagnosed the issue, and repaired it so I wouldn't be without heat for the night. Above and beyond.
