Brian P. McPherson

Brian P. McPherson's permit record tells two different stories. On one hand, it's substantial — 499 permitted projects all-time in Massachusetts, 61 of them in just the past three years, overwhelmingly residential rooftop solar installs stretching from Methuen and Everett down to Wareham and Agawam, including a 5.33 kW system permitted in Nahant in July 2025. Electrical work (53 projects) and home additions (17 projects) round out the permit history, with a typical project value around $14,500. On the other, a 2014 BuildZoom review describes a carpentry job that went badly: the customer says they paid most of the money upfront, the work was never finished, and after they pursued the matter legally, the contractor filed for bankruptcy rather than pay a judgment. It's the only review on file, and BuildZoom's aggregate reflects it — a single 1-star rating. Licensing is also unsettled right now. BuildZoom's most recent check found no active license on file for him: it lists a Construction Supervisor license (#CS-054437) as inactive, noting it was at one point cancelled, and a related record — described on the page as an electrician license — that BuildZoom confirmed had expired as of July 23, 2026. Given the volume of permitted solar and electrical work, this isn't a business with no track record — but between the unresolved carpentry complaint and the current licensing gap BuildZoom reports, anyone hiring him should verify active licensure directly with the state before signing anything, and ask pointed questions about payment terms and project completion before paying anything upfront.
