Maddaleni Plumbing & Drain Services

Maddaleni Plumbing & Drain Services is a small, long-running Everett, Massachusetts plumbing shop — BBB's file has James Maddaleni running it since 1989 and incorporating it in 1990, with his wife Elizabeth listed as secretary of the one-employee corporation. BuildZoom's permit-history profile for him shows 86 permitted plumbing and gas projects across Greater Boston, covering sewer cleaning, septic systems, gas piping and fire sprinkler work. One thing worth flagging before calling: Massachusetts's state registry currently lists James Maddaleni's plumbing license as expired. BuildZoom's own listing for the same license number is inconsistent — one entry marks it "Active" (though flagged as unverified, citing a stale 2016 expiration date), while BuildZoom's own summary elsewhere says there's no active license on file and cites Newton permit records showing it inactive. Given the mixed signals, it's worth confirming his current license status directly. The one review on file, from May 2026, is positive: the customer calls him quick and efficient, says he explained the problem and how to prevent it going forward, and recommends him as an honest plumber. BBB has no rating for the business (it says it lacks sufficient information) and shows no complaints on record, and Google shows 3.9★ from 7 ratings.
