Brian Collins

Brian Collins is a Swampscott-based electrician working out of a PO box rather than a street address. BuildZoom's directory flags an ALERT reading "No active license on file," and scores the profile a 0, outside the top half of Massachusetts contractors it tracks. The permit record behind that flag is real work, though — 50 permits, mostly small residential electrical jobs in the $1,200–$9,000 range: service upgrades, hard-wired smoke and CO detectors, a storm emergency repair, central AC circuits, and bathroom and basement renovation wiring, including two 2024 Marblehead jobs. A handful of commercial permits show up too — a Braintree sign and awning lighting job, a Boston print shop, a Burlington School of Rock fit-out, and changing rooms in an educational building — along with one 2025 rooftop 12.71kW solar installation in Longmeadow, roughly 100 miles from the Swampscott address. There are no customer reviews or independent mentions on file to weigh against that permit history. Given the license alert, confirm current, active electrical licensing directly with Brian Collins — and with the Massachusetts licensing board — before hiring.
