Pignatelli Electrical Contractors says it has been in business for 68 years, and its website says homeowners and business owners can count on its electrical technicians. The website says it offers free estimates and 24/7 emergency service. The company holds an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau. A 2023 article on berkshireeagle.com said electrical work for low-intensity lighting and power for amplification was donated by Scott Pignatelli, owner of Pignatelli Electrical Contractors. A 2025 article on berkshiremag.com named the company among the local contractors used to complete a home addition. A 2025 customer who emailed about an outdoor socket that no longer worked said Fred, who was in the neighborhood on another job, rang the doorbell and was in and out in less than 10 minutes. A 2023 customer said they had used the company for removing knob and tube, installing new lighting, upgrading service and connecting appliances. A 2020 customer said the company removed the remainder of the knob and tube wiring in their house and installed wall sconces. A 2021 customer said the company had done several small projects for them and that its bills were reasonable and fair. That 2021 customer also said the company could be difficult to schedule at times. A 2024 customer who had used the company for a few years said it had become impossible to get a call back, and that over two months they were promised a follow-up call three separate times and no one followed up.
“the addition was completed using a variety of local contractors, including A.M. Estate Management, All Star Excavation in Lenox, LePrevost Plumbing & Heating, Pignatelli Electrical Contractors, Arseneau Construction, J Smegal Roofing & Renovations, and Lee Tile & Stone.”
“Electrical work for low-intensity lighting and power for amplification was donated by Scott Pignatelli, owner of Pignatelli Electrical Contractors.”
I left an email for Pignatelli last night to assist with repairing an outdoor socket which no longer worked. I figured I’d hear back from them within. 24 hours to arrange an appointment. Better yet, my front doorbell rang and I met Fred who happened to be in the neighborhood on another job. I explained my problem and he was in and out in literally less than 10 minutes! Outstanding work and superior customer service! ,
Used them for a few years, but now it's impossible to get a call back. Even when they promise that they'll call back within the week, no one follows up. Tried calling multiple times over the course of two months, and we were promised a follow up call three separate times. No one ever followed up.
I've used Pignatelli Electric for everything in our house: removing knob and tube, installing new lighting, upgrading service, and connecting appliances. They are a wonderful crew: highly professional, very talented, and super nice. I don't think I've ever talked so highly of my electrical contractor before! You won't go wrong with these guys.
In an area (the Berkshires) where many service contractors are over-priced and under-qualified, Pignatelli is an outstanding example of everything you want in a contractor. While like almost every service category in the Berkshires they suffer from too much work and not enough qualified providers so they can be difficult at times to schedule, they are worth the wait. They have done several small projects for me, and every time the personnel on site have been extremely competent and professional and work very hard at getting the project done quickly and expertly. And when usually I'm afraid to see the final bill for many projects I have done, every time I've used them I have been very pleasantly surprised at how reasonable and fair every bill I've gotten from them has been. A real find.
Terrific and professional company. Had them remove the remainder of the knob and tube wiring in our house and install wall sconces. Will definitely use them again.
