Two electricians, one pickup truck, and a promise not to cut corners.
Founded in 2004 by Joseph O’Brien and David Niemi — both out of Medford, MA.
Built one job at a time.
JP O’Brien Electric began with a small bathroom remodel run out of the back of a pickup truck. Two decades later, we’re still the same people you call — just with a few more trucks and a lot more satisfied neighbors.
Joe and Dave have worked in the electrical trade since 1996, on residential, commercial and industrial sites across Massachusetts. That experience covers lighting, power, fire alarm and communications systems — plus flat-screen TVs and home entertainment.
We’re available any time, in any weather. We carry liability and all other required insurance. And yes — we WILL pull permits. It’s how we’ve earned a 5-star reputation and a steady stream of referrals.
