Questions and answers
Questions I hear most often.
How I price, how an estimate works, where I go and which jobs I take on.
How do you price a job?
My pricing is competitive and has no hidden fees. Every job is different, so I price it after I understand what it involves, and I am happy to discuss options that fit your budget.
How does it work, from the first message to the estimate?
Reach out with the details of the job and a few photos. If I need to see it in person, I schedule a visit. Then you get a clear, accurate estimate and the next steps.
What experience and training do you have?
I have been working as an electrician since 2020 and have run projects for a larger company. I started Five Wires Solutions in 2026, and I am currently enrolled in electrical school to keep advancing in the trade.
Are you insured?
Yes. Five Wires Solutions is fully insured, and I am background checked on Thumbtack.
Which areas do you serve?
Homes and small businesses within 50 miles of Malden, MA. If you are not sure whether your town is inside that circle, send me the address and I will tell you.
What are your hours?
Monday to Saturday, 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. I am closed on Sunday. I read messages sent outside those hours when I am back at work.
Which languages do you speak?
English, Portuguese and Spanish. Call or write in whichever is most comfortable for you.
How can I pay?
Cash, check, Venmo or Zelle.
Do photos help with the estimate?
Yes, a lot. Photos of the place where the work will happen, of your electrical panel with the door open and of anything that looks wrong often let me give you an estimate without a visit. Text them to (774) 548-3801 or attach them to the quote form.
How should I prepare for your visit?
Clear the space around the electrical panel and around the area where I will work, and keep pets in another room. If you bought the fixture, fan or charger yourself, have it on site with its instructions. For a problem that comes and goes, note what was running when it happened.
Which services do you offer?
Today I offer troubleshooting and repair, lighting installation, recessed lighting, outlets and switches, ceiling fans, wiring installation, EV charger installation, smoke and CO detectors, hot tub and outdoor wiring and commercial electrical. If your job is not on the list, ask me: I will tell you plainly whether I can do it.
Is there work you do not take on?
Yes. For now I do not do electrical panel or service upgrades, I do not install generators, and I do not take calls outside my working hours. If your job needs one of those, I will tell you at the start so you do not lose time.
Have a job in mind?
Send a message with a few photos and get a clear estimate.
