# Devlin Contracting **Trade:** Electrical · **Part of:** Devlin Inc · **Phone:** (781) 812-0240 · **Website:** https://www.weymouthelectrician.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 1.6/5** (low confidence) — from 5 reviews across 5 sources. 60% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Devlin Contracting is a Weymouth, MA electrical and solar company — older reviews describe fast, clean solar-panel installations, while more recent ones raise serious concerns about the aftermath. The company, which describes itself as family-owned and operates under the name Devlin Inc, offers electrical repairs, outdoor lighting and solar panel installation. BuildZoom's listing shows a Massachusetts electrician license (#21151) and a home improvement contractor registration (#182869) as active, and an earlier registration (#180037) as inactive. Its Better Business Bureau profile carries an A+ rating and accreditation. Two 2016 and 2017 reviews on BuildZoom describe a smooth solar-panel job: the crew showed up on time, worked cleanly, and one customer wrote, "we had Matthew for installation of solar panel and he did a good job." A more recent BBB review is just as enthusiastic, calling the company "the best in the business." Set against that are two specific complaints on BBB. One customer says a solar installation started leaking and, over a year after reporting it, the problem still wasn't fixed. Another describes signing a Power Purchase Agreement with Devlin Energy in January 2023 and calls it "the worst mistake I have ever made" — no further detail is given, but a Power Purchase Agreement is a long-term financing contract worth reading closely before signing. Before booking solar work here, ask directly about the unresolved leak and get a plain-language walkthrough of any financing or Power Purchase Agreement on offer, and confirm in writing which entity — Devlin Contracting, Devlin Energy or Devlin Inc — is actually signing the contract. For straightforward electrical work, the older reviews point to a punctual, tidy crew; for a solar installation, get the leak history and PPA terms settled before signing anything. **Strengths:** - On-time solar crew — 2016 review praised punctual, clean installation - Good installation work — a 2017 review called the solar job well done - A+ BBB rating — accredited by the Better Business Bureau **Concerns:** - Unresolved leak — a BBB review cites a year-plus unresolved solar leak - Troubled financing deal — a 2023 Power Purchase Agreement called the worst mistake - Multiple business names — appears as Devlin Contracting, Devlin Energy and Devlin Inc **Where sources disagree:** - BuildZoom shows one review posted twice under two different 2016 dates, inflating its listed count from two customers to three - BuildZoom shows both an active (#182869) and an inactive (#180037) home improvement contractor registration for the same company, likely an older registration superseded by a newer one ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Its Better Business Bureau profile carries an A+ rating and BBB accreditation _(confidence: high)_ - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/hingham/profile/general-contractor/devlin-contracting-maintenance-inc-0021-477062) — “Better Business Bureau grade: A+” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/hingham/profile/general-contractor/devlin-contracting-maintenance-inc-0021-477062) — “Better Business Bureau: accredited / certified / member” - Five reviews on file across BuildZoom and BBB, from 2016-2017 BuildZoom postings to more recent, undated BBB reviews _(confidence: medium)_ - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/devlin-contracting-maintenance-inc) — “BuildZoom: 5.0★ from 3 ratings” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/hingham/profile/general-contractor/devlin-contracting-maintenance-inc-0021-477062) — “If I could make this review less than 1 I would.
