solving boston’s unique lighting challenges
Boston properties face environmental and structural demands that standard electrical contractors aren’t equipped to handle. We specialize in:
Coastal Corrosion Resistance: In areas like the Seaport and East Boston, salt air destroys standard fixtures. We install marine-grade LED drivers and salt-spray-rated housing to ensure your investment lasts.
High-Density Logistics: We provide rapid-response maintenance for Logan-adjacent rental hubs and South Boston warehouses, including high-bay vapor-tight installs and CAT5 integration for security-sensitive areas.
Historic District Compliance: For retail on Newbury Street or the North End, we provide discrete, high-CRI (Color Rendering Index) lighting that preserves architectural integrity while meeting modern energy codes.
Urban Safety & Compliance: From 90-second emergency lighting tests at major transit hubs to parking lot pole repairs using our own 45ft bucket trucks, we keep your public spaces compliant with Boston’s strict safety ordinances.
