City & Suburban Electric is a Haverhill electrical contractor with the shape of a commercial firm, not a two-man shop: BBB lists it as established in 1980, incorporated in 1986, with 19 employees — James F. Maranto as president and James P. LaFrance as treasurer. Its Massachusetts electrician licence, held by LaFrance, is active — verified against the state registry. What stands in for reviews is a long permit trail. BuildZoom shows 81 permitted projects with a contractor score in the 82nd percentile statewide, and the permit mix is almost entirely commercial-leaning electrical work — fire-alarm panel replacements, commercial tenant fit-ups — with four permits in the past three years, three of them small jobs under $5,000. What's missing is any customer voice: no reviews exist anywhere on file, and BBB itself lists the company as Not Rated for lack of information. That's not a mark against a firm whose work appears to run commercial, but it means there is nothing to score. If you're a homeowner considering them for residential work, ask directly how much of their book is residential these days — the recent permits are few and small — and get references from a comparable job. The licence, the corporate history and the permit record are all real; the customer record simply isn't public.
