Cullen Mechanical, Inc. is a Malden-based commercial mechanical contractor — factory-authorized to service, install, and start up heating and cooling plants, rooftop units, and energy recovery systems for equipment from multiple manufacturers. Its Massachusetts HVAC and sheet metal license (644-SM-B) is active, and according to its Better Business Bureau profile the company has operated for 24 years and carries an A+ grade there. Most of what's on record about Cullen Mechanical has nothing to do with mechanical work — it's about how its trucks and employees behave off the job site. Google reviewers in August 2026, March 2026, September 2025, and August 2025 each described a company vehicle driving aggressively on the highway: tailgating, swerving between lanes, cutting across traffic. One August 2025 review described being tailgated for five miles at highway speed while driving to visit a hospitalized spouse. A May 2025 review said an employee falsely told a building's residents that management had approved smoking near people on oxygen. Separately, the company's BBB page describes social media comments in which the company said a woman deserved to be shot in the face by a security guard, alongside the same driving and smoking complaints. On the mechanical work itself there's little to go on, but what exists is positive: a 2023 review called a technician professional, knowledgeable, and easy to have in the house, and a 2025 review simply called the finished job 'great work.' Given how much of the public complaint history is about conduct rather than craftsmanship, it's worth asking directly about the incidents above — and about who will actually be driving and working on site — before booking, especially for a job on shared or commercial property.
I have not have a service with this company but with all these negative reviews I’m glad I didn’t. I’m on here to report their employee Buddy Felt was driving very unprofessionally in his company car. He screamed out his window to a learning driver “learn how to drive, I know you are illegal that’s why your windows are tinted”. Everyone around was in disbelief of the situation. Take make things worse the very next day he posts on his Facebook (during company hours) a video of him in his company vehicle degrading a learning driver. Here is a screenshot of a comment he made to someone defending the person he was degrading. I already reported it so hopefully they do something about him
Whatever employee plowed onto 495 this morning in Littleton needs to be more careful. They cut me off in the right lane and proceeded to cut across the highway, causing us all to slam on our brakes, as they flew over to the passing lane. It was a slippery morning and they were travelling very fast and switching lanes with no directionals and not enough room to do so. Happy Monday.
One of their trucks was driving very erratic on 95 south today around the Seekonk exit. The driver was on his phone and swerving between lanes: almost ran me off the road.
While I was driving on the highway to visit my hospitalized wife these guys were tailgating me and throwing hand gestures up in the air. They followed literally 5 feet from my bumper while traffic moved at about 60 mph for 5 miles. If their driving is indicative of their work, stay away. Completely uncalled for. I contemplated posting the dash cam footage, but it's not worth my time. Disgusting behavior.
great work
