David M Button

What exists for David M Button is a paper trail, not a reputation: ten pulled plumbing and gas permits, most of them small. He works under his own name out of 12 Hancock St in Haverhill, and the jobs behind those permits are the bread-and-butter kind — swapping toilets, shower valves and sinks after a floor or cabinet install, running gas and plumbing for a handful of new single-family houses, setting irrigation meters. The geography is worth noticing. Despite the Haverhill address, nearly all of that permitted work sits an hour south, in Newton, Brookline, Chestnut Hill and Maynard. Typical permit value lands near $3,000, and the recent pace is slow — one permitted job in 2025 and one in 2024, after three in 2023. No one has posted a review of his work on BuildZoom, and no other source turned up anything, so there is nothing here about how he communicates, prices, or finishes a job. Treat this profile as a record of activity only. On licensing, be specific when you call. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts plumber licence, #16879, and marks it "not verified" with an expiration it last saw as May 2026 — read that as the directory's claim, not confirmation. It also shows two City of Newton licences under #33967, for Plumbing Contractor and Heater Contractor, that Newton records list as inactive and at one point cancelled. If you are hiring for a small plumbing or gas job in the Newton area, he has demonstrably pulled permits for exactly that kind of work. Ask to see his current state licence and insurance before anything starts, and ask for a couple of recent customers you can call, since there is no public review history to lean on.
