David E. Fournier

Fifty-nine permits, most of them swimming pools. That is the clearest thing to say about David E. Fournier, an electrician working out of 14 Cutting Dr in Newburyport: his permit history is dominated by in-ground pool wiring, with renovation and boiler-replacement jobs filling in around it, typically in the $750 to $15,000 range. The work stays close to home. Newburyport, West Newbury, Newbury, Merrimac, Byfield, Salisbury and Topsfield account for nearly all of it, with a single Marblehead electrical permit in 2021 — so a homeowner south of Salem should ask whether he still travels that far. No homeowner has written about him anywhere we could find. BuildZoom's profile carries no reviews at all, and its score of 98 is calculated from permits and licence status, not from anyone's opinion of the work. The licences deserve care. BuildZoom lists an electrician registration under number 20208 and marks it verified active as of April 2026, but the same page lists that identical number a second time as a master electrician record it did not verify, showing an expiration date of July 2016 — and lists a third number, 34226, the same way. Those records contradict each other on one page, and none of it is a substitute for the state's own answer. Before hiring, look up his licence directly with the Massachusetts board and ask for the current number and expiration in writing. He is a plausible call for straightforward residential electrical work in the Newburyport area, especially pool and renovation wiring. Ask for two or three recent customer references, since none exist publicly, and confirm the licence yourself.
