Maddaleni Plumbing & Drain Services

Maddaleni Plumbing & Drain Service has been at this a long time. BBB puts the start date at 1989, incorporation at 1990, and lists it as a one-employee corporation in Everett with James Maddaleni as president and Elizabeth Maddaleni as secretary. The permit trail backs up the longevity: BuildZoom counts 86 permitted plumbing and gas jobs across Greater Boston. What is thin is the customer record. Google carries 3.9 stars from 7 ratings but only one written comment, posted in May 2026 — quick and efficient, explained the problem and how to prevent it happening again, and, in the reviewer's word, honest. BBB has no reviews at all and marks the company "Not Rated" on the grounds that it lacks enough information; it is not accredited. The thing to settle before hiring is the licence. The Massachusetts registry shows plumbing licence 21291-PL-J, held by James E. Maddaleni, as expired. BuildZoom muddies rather than clears this: its licence block calls the same number active while flagging it unverified with a last-checked expiry of May 2016, and elsewhere the same profile warns there is no active licence on file. For routine drain and sewer work around Everett, this is a shop with decades of permitted jobs behind it and one recent, warm review. Ask for a current licence number and check it against the state registry yourself before anyone starts work.
