McCarriston Plumbing & Heating

McCarriston Plumbing & Heating is a long-running Swampscott plumbing and heating outfit — BBB's file puts it in business since 1940 and incorporated in Massachusetts since 1975, with five employees and Peter C. McCarriston as president. Its Massachusetts plumbing business license is active with the state, and BBB separately lists Peter McCarriston as holding a Massachusetts Master Plumber license. There isn't a customer track record to draw on here — no reviews or complaints turn up anywhere on file, just a couple of decade-old mentions naming Peter McCarriston in trade-publication write-ups from 2013 and a supplier's listing. BBB itself has the firm as not accredited and 'Not Rated' for lack of information. One thing worth double-checking before calling: a separate directory profile under a similar business name shows up for a plumbing outfit based in nearby Marblehead rather than Swampscott — make sure you're reaching the McCarriston at 150 Burrill St and not a similarly named business elsewhere on the North Shore. With eight decades of stated history but no verifiable customer record, the active state license is the one hard confirmation here — worth asking directly about recent work and references before booking.
