Damon J. Pignato

Damon J. Pignato is a one-man plumbing operation registered at 76 Green St in Marblehead. Nobody has written a word about the work — not one review on any source we checked. What is on file is a trade list and a permit trail. BuildZoom names the services as plumbing, boiler and water heater work, gas and piping, sewer laterals, septic tanks and systems, and fire sprinkler systems, and shows seven permitted projects, spread across Marblehead, Beverly, Salem and Newburyport. Those permits are all filed as electrical work, which sits oddly against a profile listed under plumbing — worth asking about directly, since it may simply be how the permits were recorded. The licence question is the thing to settle before anything else. BuildZoom lists Massachusetts Master Plumber licence #13289 and then contradicts itself about it on the same page: the licence block calls it Active with a July 2016 expiration date, while the site's own hiring notes say that number 'was Inactive when we last checked'. Both statements are the directory's, neither is a verification, and we did not confirm the licence against the state registry. BuildZoom also lists insurance through Commerce with $50,000 of coverage — again its own entry, not something we checked. Who this is for: a Marblehead homeowner who has a personal referral and wants a local tradesman for a small plumbing or gas job. Before any work starts, ask for the current Master Plumber licence number and verify it yourself with the Commonwealth, ask for a certificate of insurance direct from the insurer, and get two or three recent customer references — with no written accounts anywhere, references are the only read available on how the work actually goes.
