Pigott Electric

Pigott Electric is a commercial and industrial electrical contracting firm in Arlington that's been in business since 1943 and incorporated since 1972, now run by the Pigott family — president Charles A. Pigott and vice president William F. Pigott — with about a dozen employees. BuildZoom's permit history lists 384 projects for the company, putting its score in the top 6% of Massachusetts contractors. In a May 2026 review, a high-rise apartment community described Pigott's crew running a large-scale solar installation on site for months, working quietly enough that residents barely noticed them, and leaving the community room they used for lunch clean every day. The Massachusetts electrician license held by John F. Pigott is active on the state registry. Several additional electrician licenses tied to the company appear on BuildZoom under different numbers — some active, a couple no longer current — which is typical for a firm that has employed more than one licensed electrician over eight decades. For commercial, industrial or large multi-unit residential electrical work in the Arlington area — the kind of large-scale, longer-running project described in that solar review — this is a well-established firm with decades of permitted work behind it.
