Eystratios Margios Dba Cm Painting

Eystratios Margios works out of 162 Doty St in Waltham under the name CM Painting, but the permits filed under the business tell a different story: they are almost entirely residential electrical work — rewiring kitchens and bathrooms, adding recessed lights, pulling new service — spread across Brookline, Waltham, Arlington, Needham, Newburyport and Maynard. There is real activity behind it. BuildZoom counts 26 permitted projects in all, 17 of them in the past three years, with a typical permit valued around $6,000. That is the shape of small-to-mid residential jobs, not gut renovations. No customer has written about the work. BuildZoom has received no reviews for the business, and its own scoring gives it a 0 alongside an alert reading "No active license on file". Licensing is the thing to pin down before calling. BuildZoom lists a Newton electrical contractor licence, #38293, and says that when it last checked, the licence carried a July 2022 expiration date. It also lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #185700, as inactive, with a note that the status was at one point cancelled. Those are the directory's own records rather than anything confirmed at the registry. If you are considering them, ask for current licence and insurance certificates directly, and be clear about which trade you are hiring for — the permit history points to electrical work, and that carries different credentials than painting.
