Verified record
R J Morello Inc is a plumbing outfit based in Everett with a complicated recent history. The company's registered Massachusetts plumber license, held by Roger J. Morello, is on the books as expired, and a 2019 obituary describes Morello as the company's owner and operator for more than thirty years — the same year he died. What that means for who's running the business now isn't clear from what's on record. BuildZoom's permit history counts 32 plumbing, gas and sprinkler jobs the company has pulled across Boston-area towns, and its licenses include a Master Plumber registration, a Pipefitter Master credential and a Sprinkler Contractor license, though BuildZoom lists most of these as inactive as of its last check. In 2018, the Massachusetts Attorney General's Office cited the company and Morello personally for $60,841 in restitution and penalties over unpaid prevailing wage and inaccurate certified payroll on a City of Everett Public Schools plumbing job. There isn't much current activity to go on beyond a single five-star Google rating. Before calling, it's worth confirming who currently owns and operates the company and whether its plumbing license is active, since the registry shows it expired. This one needs a phone call and a license check before anything else — the permit history says the company has done real work, but the paperwork on file raises real questions about where things stand today.
