David Steele

There is very little here that a homeowner can act on. David Steele appears in Methuen, MA 01844 as a plumbing listing on BuildZoom, and that page is the only place anything about him surfaces at all. BuildZoom lists the trade work under his name as plumbing, gas and piping, sewer laterals, septic tanks and systems, and fire sprinkler systems. That is the directory's service list, not a description of jobs anyone has confirmed. On licensing, be careful. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts plumber licence, #6048, which it labels inactive with an expiration date in 1986, and it adds that the state E-Licensing Board at one point showed the licence as cancelled. That is BuildZoom's own claim about a record, not a verification of this man's current standing, and a 40-year-old registry entry is a weak basis for anything either way. Anyone considering hiring should look the licence up directly with the Commonwealth before work is discussed. Two other things on that page are easy to misread. The "BuildZoom score is 0" is not a customer rating — BuildZoom states plainly it is set that way because it could not verify an active licence. And the single project shown is a 2004 siding and window replacement in Falmouth, a different trade in a town at the other end of the state, so it says nothing about plumbing work near Methuen. BuildZoom itself states it has received no reviews for this contractor, and no other site carries anything. Treat this as an unverified listing rather than a business with a track record: confirm the licence with the state, and ask for recent local references before anything else.
