Pigott Electric

Pigott Electric has been wiring buildings out of 47 Dudley Street in Arlington since 1943 — the BBB dates the firm to that year, incorporated in Massachusetts in 1972, now twelve people. Its Massachusetts electrician licence, number 15922, is active, held on the state registry by John F Pigott. The scale shows in the permit record rather than in reviews. BuildZoom counts 384 permitted projects and scores the company 107, which it says places it in the top 6% of Massachusetts licensed contractors. The BBB grade is A+. What customers have written is thin but current. In May 2026 a property manager described several months of work on a large-scale solar project at a high-rise apartment community and singled out how unobtrusive the crew was — quiet enough you wouldn't know they were there, and leaving the community room clean after lunch. Google shows 4.8 from four ratings. The mix matters when you're choosing. The BBB describes commercial, industrial and residential wiring, and the one written account is a commercial job. If yours is a house, ask what share of their work is residential and for references from homes. One piece of small print: BuildZoom lists eight further licence numbers beside the verified one, two of them marked inactive and cancelled at some point, and its records give a different owner name and phone number than the BBB's. Confirm the licence number with the state yourself before booking.
