Advantage III Plumbing & Heating Inc

Advantage III Plumbing & Heating is a small Winthrop outfit run by Joseph Ciampa III, and the only real trace of its work is in the permit record: 27 permitted jobs, mostly bathroom, kitchen and water-service plumbing in Revere, Malden and Winthrop, plus a $51,500 whole-first-floor remodel on Pleasant Street in Marblehead in 2021 and a gas-fitting permit at the same address the following year. So it does travel up the coast for work. What is missing is any customer voice at all. Not one review on any platform checked. BuildZoom, which hosts the only profile found, says outright that it has never received one. The licensing picture needs care. BuildZoom prints registration number 188244 two different ways on the same page — once as an HVAC/mechanical contractor licence it says expired in July 2023, and once as a home improvement contractor registration it says was at some point cancelled. Those are two different licence types for one number, from one directory, and neither has been checked against the state here. Treat it as a question to ask, not a finding: what it does mean is that this firm's registration status could not be confirmed either way. Worth a call for straightforward residential plumbing on the North Shore if you can get local references. Before any money changes hands, look up the company yourself on the Massachusetts Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation register and ask to see current registration and insurance certificates.
