Brian Lavoie

393 permits is the number that defines Brian Lavoie. The Methuen electrician has 393 permitted projects on his lifetime record and 34 in the last three years — 7 in 2025, 15 in 2024, 12 in 2023 — and most of that work is solar: residential rooftop PV arrays from 7.6kW up to 20.88kW, wired in North and South Easton, Maynard, South Yarmouth, Teaticket and Arlington. Closer to home the jobs are service upgrades and kitchen, bath and second-floor rewires in Methuen, Billerica and Danvers, with a typical permit around $10,000. That is a solar-and-service electrician rather than a generalist with a licence. If you are putting panels on a roof or upgrading a panel in the basement, that is the shape of work he does week in and week out. What nobody has written down is what it is like to have him in the house. BuildZoom, the only source on file, says it hasn't received any reviews — no ratings, no bodies — so the 104 score sitting on that page is derived from permits alone and is not anyone's opinion of him. On licensing, BuildZoom says it verified Massachusetts Electrical Business licence #9131, issued 17 September 2025, as active in June 2026, and separately lists an electrician licence #11648 marked Active while printing a July 2025 expiration on the same line. Those two details do not agree, and neither record has been confirmed against the state registry here. A business licence alongside a personal electrician licence is the ordinary Massachusetts arrangement, so two numbers is not the issue — the expiry date is. Ask him for the current number and check it with the state. One oddity worth naming: a 2023 Old King's Highway certificate of appropriateness for a cedar board and vinyl picket fence at 50 Thorwald Dr in South Dennis sits in his permit list. Fence work is not electrical, and it most likely landed there by mistake.
