PAGLIARO ELECTRIC

Pagliaro Electric has been listed with the Better Business Bureau for about 19 years, and the company holds an A+ BBB grade — though it has never sought accreditation, and neither the BBB nor BuildZoom shows a single customer review on file. The work covers new installations, remodels, retrofits, fire alarms, generators, and exterior and interior lighting, per what the company reports to the BBB, and BuildZoom's permit tracking counts 145 electrical jobs pulled by the company around Greater Boston, with an active Massachusetts electrician license (#20515) tied to a Swampscott address. The public record carries two older items worth knowing about. Court filings show Pagliaro Electric, Inc. went through a Chapter 7 bankruptcy in Massachusetts in 2019, and the trustee overseeing that case later brought a claim against a merchant-cash lender the company had used. A wage-and-hour violation tracker separately reports an $18,575 penalty against Pagliaro Electric Inc. in 2020. Both predate today by several years, and it isn't clear from what's available whether the currently licensed Swampscott LLC is the same entity that went through bankruptcy under the Inc. name, or a successor — the addresses (Lynn vs. Swampscott) and corporate suffixes differ between the two sources. With no reviews anywhere to check tone or recent work against, there isn't a customer track record to point to one way or the other. Anyone considering hiring should ask directly about the entity's history, confirm the license covers whoever will actually be doing the work, and get scope, permits, and payment terms in writing before work starts.
