Straight answer
Yes. We work throughout Suffolk County, which for us means Boston's neighborhoods from Charlestown and East Boston down to Hyde Park and West Roxbury, plus Revere to the north. Phones are answered 24/7. The work runs heavy on rewiring, meter and panel upgrades in multi-family buildings, and repairs in houses that have been renovated many times over.
From Charlestown rowhouses to West Roxbury single-families
The housing changes a lot from one end of the county to the other. Charlestown, Back Bay and Beacon Hill are rowhouse and brownstone territory, much of it split into condos, where electrical work happens inside a unit and around a shared meter room. Dorchester, South Boston, Jamaica Plain, Roslindale and East Boston are triple-decker country, with three meters, three panels and a common hallway on one building. West Roxbury and parts of Hyde Park lean toward single-family houses with yards and garages.
Brighton and Allston mix apartment buildings, two-families and rentals that turn over every year. Revere, north across the water, has two-families, older single homes and condo buildings near the beach. Across all of it, the common thread is age. Much of the county's housing was built long before anyone imagined a heat pump or a car charger, so the same jobs come up everywhere: a panel that cannot take another circuit, wiring from several eras spliced together and outlets with no ground.
Triple-deckers, city permits and harbor flooding
Most of Suffolk County is the city of Boston, so most of our work here runs through the city's permit and inspection system at Inspectional Services. We file on the jobs that need it and meet the inspector when they come. Waterfront neighborhoods add a second concern. East Boston and Charlestown sit low beside the harbor, and the city's coastal resilience plans center on them, so on a service or panel job there we look hard at how close the panel, meter and basement circuits sit to the floor.
Electrical work in buildings with more than one household
In a triple-decker or a converted rowhouse, electrical work rarely affects just one household. A meter bank upgrade, a new house panel for the common areas or smoke alarms that interconnect every floor all touch every unit. We schedule shutdowns with each household, keep hallway and basement loads on the house meter rather than a tenant's, and label every panel so the next owner or tenant knows which breaker feeds what.
Condo buildings add an association to the mix. Inside your unit, the wiring and panel are generally yours to change, while the meter room, the risers and anything in a common wall belong to the building. We confirm with the manager before touching shared equipment and give the association the paperwork it asks for. That heads off a common delay on condo jobs: a finished plan that stalls because the board never saw it.
The work that comes up across Suffolk County
Triple-Decker & Multi-Family Electrical
Three meters, three panels and a house panel, planned so each unit gets what it needs.
Whole-House Rewiring
Buildings renovated many times over often need their circuits rebuilt in a planned order.
Condo & Apartment Electrical
Unit work in rowhouse and brownstone condos, coordinated with the association.
Electrical Panel Upgrade
Full panels are the bottleneck for new kitchens, heat pumps and chargers.
Knob & Tube Wiring Replacement
Original wiring still turns up in the county's oldest houses, often ahead of insulation work.
Smoke & CO Detector Installation
Multi-family sales need alarms right in every unit and common area.
Triple-decker, rowhouse or two-family: tell us the building and the problem.

We cover Boston's neighborhoods across the city, from Charlestown and East Boston to Hyde Park and West Roxbury, plus Revere. If you are not sure whether your street is in range, call and ask.
We do, for the work that needs one. Boston permits and inspects electrical work through Inspectional Services, and we schedule the inspection once the work is ready to be seen.
Yes, and it is often the sensible way to do it, since the service entrance has to carry all three units. We plan one shutdown with every household and coordinate the reconnect with the utility.
If the basement has flooded before, or sits in a low area, raising the panel and key circuits above the likely water line is worth discussing. We look at the space, the service route and the cost drivers before recommending a move.
