What Medford Landlords and Homeowners Notice About Our Work
A big share of our Medford calls come from landlords managing triple-deckers near Tufts, not just homeowners in Hillside or Glenwood and those two groups need slightly different things from an electrician. Landlords care about minimizing tenant disruption and getting clean documentation for insurance; homeowners care about not turning a Saturday into a full-house project. We built our process to handle both without cutting corners on either:
- For rental properties, we coordinate directly with tenants on timing and work unit-by-unit so the rest of the building stays livable.
- Every job gets a written estimate and, for landlords, documentation you can hand straight to an insurer or a buyer at resale.
- We size the work to the property — one panel’s worth of triple-decker rewiring is a different job than a single-family near the Mystic River, and we quote accordingly rather than applying a flat rate.
- Licensed and insured on every visit (MA Master Electrician #24276-A), which matters more than usual in a city with as much multi-family housing as Medford.
- If a follow-up issue comes up after the job, you’re calling the same crew that did the original work, not starting over with someone new.
Common Electrical Requests We See in Medford

FAQs
I manage a triple-decker near Tufts. Can you rewire one unit without disrupting the tenants in the other two?
Yes, that’s most of our multi-family work in Medford. We coordinate timing directly with tenants and work unit-by-unit so the rest of the building stays livable.
What do you need from me for a rental property job — anything for insurance or resale documentation?
We provide a written estimate and completion documentation you can hand to an insurer, a lender, or a future buyer landlords ask for this often enough that it’s standard practice for us.
Does Medford require permits for unit-level electrical work?
Yes, and we handle it. We pull the wiring permit through the City of Medford Building Department and manage the inspection regardless of whether it’s one unit or the whole building.
My panel is a Federal Pacific or Zinsco. How urgent is replacing it?
Fairly urgent. Both brands are recognized fire risks that inspectors and insurers flag routinely replacement typically runs $2,500 to $4,500 for a 100 to 200-amp upgrade.
Can you install an EV charger at a single-family home near the Mystic River?
Yes, Tesla, ChargePoint, Wallbox, and most other Level 2 chargers, with a panel upgrade only if your existing service genuinely needs it.
