Papken Corporation

Papken Corporation is a Peabody, MA plumbing shop, and its public numbers land in the same mediocre band wherever you check: a 3-star Google page built on three ratings, and Birdeye listings that show 2.5 stars over four reviews on one page and 3.0 over three on another. Its review history is thin — a couple of reviews spanning 2023 to 2024 across a few sources — and what's there leans negative more than positive. One account describes a job that needed rework under warranty, with no response from the company when the customer asked them to come back and fix it. Two things worth confirming before booking: Papken Corporation's corporate registration is currently listed as inactive, revoked for missing an annual report, and permit records tied to owner Dennis Papken show 149 Boston building permits filed since 2016 with only 45% closed out — below the city median — and 82 still open. With reviews this sparse and a lapsed corporate filing on the books, treat this one as a checklist call rather than a sure thing — verify the registration is current, ask directly about the warranty complaint, and confirm any open permits before signing a contract.
