David P Russo

David P Russo works out of 96 Burpee Rd in Swampscott, and the permit record says he is busy. BuildZoom shows 89 permitted projects overall and 38 in the last three years — 23 in 2023, 11 in 2024 and 4 in 2025 — predominantly plumbing, with a typical permit size around $3,000. That is a working plumber doing a steady stream of ordinary residential jobs, not a one-off listing. BuildZoom scores him 103, which it says places him in the top 10% of Massachusetts licensed contractors. The licence picture needs care. BuildZoom lists five credentials and says it verified the Construction Supervisor licence CS-059587 as active in July 2026 and the Sheet Metal licence 2397 as active in November 2025. But the one that matters most for plumbing — Plumber licence 11838 — is flagged "License Not Verified", with a last-known expiration of May 2024, and a second Construction Supervisor licence, CS-092957, is listed as inactive. The listing carries no customer reviews, so there is nothing here about how he works with homeowners. Worth a call for routine plumbing given how much permitted work he is doing. Ask for his current plumbing licence number and check it against the state registry yourself, and ask for two recent local references.
