Carmine Spagnuolo

Two hundred and eight permits, and not one review. Carmine Spagnuolo's record in Boston is written in city paperwork rather than customer write-ups: BuildZoom's permit database shows 208 permitted projects under his name, ten of them in the last three years, and BuildZoom itself reports no customer reviews for him. He works out of 113 Endicott Street in the North End, and BuildZoom lists Carmine A Spagnuolo as the owner. The work is overwhelmingly plumbing, mostly in the North End and around Boston, and the jobs are small — BuildZoom puts a typical permit near $2,000. That volume is what drives his BuildZoom score of 99, which the site says puts him in the top 15% of 139,240 Massachusetts licensed contractors. Read that for what it is: a measure of permits pulled and licences on file, not of how the work turned out or how he was to deal with. Licensing is the part to settle yourself. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Sheet Metal licence #12281 it says it verified active in September 2025, alongside a #25349 record whose Newton plumbing-contractor and heater-contractor entries it shows as inactive and at one point cancelled, and a Massachusetts #25349 entry it last saw carrying a May 2016 expiry. The state registry does hold an active plumbing licence numbered 12281 — but its holder of record is a different person, Richard P Neal, so that record is not confirmation that this contractor holds it. So: a plumber with a long, current permit trail in Boston's oldest neighborhood and no public account of a single job. Ask him for his own plumbing licence number, check it on the state's licensee lookup, and get two references from recent jobs before he starts.
