Roy Spittle Associates is the name on the Gloucester truck; Taormina Electrical Inc. is the name on the paperwork. Between them sit two fairly different kinds of electrical work: a claimed Procore construction profile listing 52 projects since April 2022, 17 of them still active, at an average project size around $5.4 million across commercial, healthcare, industrial, institutional and residential sectors — and the ordinary house calls that show up on Google. The company's own site gives the long version of how it got here. Roy Spittle opened the business in Gloucester in 1962 after more than twenty years in the trade, his son Tom and Tom's wife Mary took over in 1991, and in 2015 Nick Taormina — then a 25-year employee and vice president — bought it with his wife Pam. The site describes residential, commercial and industrial electrical work plus generators and audiovisual across eastern Massachusetts and southern New Hampshire, available 24/7 for emergencies, with free estimates and a two-year warranty on labor and materials. Its Better Business Bureau page, which grades the company A+ without accrediting it, files it as a full-service residential and commercial electrical contractor with 15 employees. On Google the company has five ratings averaging 5 stars, two of them written out. In an October 2024 review a customer wrote that the crew services his Kohler generator and "REALLY know what they are doing," called them very responsive, and singled out Nico. A March 2025 review described professionalism and expertise from the initial consultation through to the completion of the project. BuildZoom, which files the Heritage Way address under Rockport rather than Gloucester, carries one five-star March 2025 review for a $3,450 electrical job alongside permit-derived activity of at least 11 projects in three years at a typical permit value near $10,000. One item to settle before work starts. A state registry check in August 2026 found Massachusetts electrician licence 13208 expired, recorded to Thomas L. Spittle rather than to Nick Taormina, whom the company's site describes as a master electrician and its president since 2015. Directory paperwork lags in other places too: the BBB page still names Thomas Spittle as president and Mary Spittle as secretary, and the company's own pages put its age at 50 years in one spot and 64 in another, while the BBB file dates the start to 1968. For a standby generator you want serviced, or a commercial or institutional electrical job on Cape Ann, this is a shop that works at both scales. Ask for the Massachusetts electrician licence number the company works under today, and get the 24/7 emergency response and the two-year labor-and-materials warranty written into the quote.

I recently needed electrical work done. I called Roy Spittle Associates and I couldn't be more satisfied with their services. From the initial consultation to the completion of the project, their team demonstrated professionalism, expertise, and a genuine commitment to quality. Both Nick and Matt were very knowledgeable and efficient, ensuring that all work was completed to the highest standards. They took the time to explain the process and answer the many questions I had, which made me feel confident in their abilities. The installation of the work was seamless, and results exceeded my expectations. What truly sets Roy Spittle Associates apart is their dedication to customer service and satisfaction. They went above and beyond to make sure I was happy with the work, and their attention to detail was impressive. The team was always punctual, courteous, and respectful of my needs. Overall, I highly recommend Nick, Matt, and the entire Roy Spittle Associates team for any electrical needs. If needed, I will definitely be using Roy Spittle Associates in the future.
These guys service my Kohler generator and REALLY know what they are doing, and they are very responsive! Nico is great.
