Eight permits, no reviews, and a licence alert across the top of the only page that carries him. Edward G Breen is an owner-operated electrician at 7 Cross Ave in Methuen, and BuildZoom's permit profile is the whole of what has been published about the business. The work it shows is bread-and-butter residential electrical: panel changes, emergency service repairs and a pool circuit, mostly in Methuen, spread between 2015 and 2019. The newest permit on file is dated October 2019, and the profile itself was last updated in August 2024. The licensing line is the one to press on. BuildZoom runs an alert banner and a score of 0 for a single stated reason — it could not verify an active licence. The one record it holds is a city electrician registration carrying an expiration date of 31 July 2007, which BuildZoom last checked and found expired in March 2022. That is a directory's bookkeeping rather than a state registry check, but it is the only licensing information anyone has published here, so ask Breen for a current Massachusetts electrician licence number and confirm it with the state before any work is scheduled. No customer has written anything about the work — BuildZoom says so outright, which is also why its score reflects licences and permits and nothing a homeowner said.

Flush mounts, pendants, chandeliers — hung on existing boxes.
