Frank Premutico

Frank Premutico is a one-man plumbing shop in the Ward Hill section of Haverhill — Francesco Premutico listed as the sole owner and sole employee. The permitted work behind the name is plumbing and gas: ten jobs dated 2000 through 2012, three of them in Methuen, the rest spread across Billerica, Peabody, Andover and Newton Center. The licensing picture is the thing to sort out before anything else. BuildZoom prints a six-record bundle that argues with itself: number 10043 appears both as an active Master Plumber record — flagged unverified, with a May 2016 expiry — and as an inactive Plumber record the state E-Licensing Board says was at one point cancelled. A separate number, 18366, is listed active with no type and the same 2016 expiry, and the one entry carrying BuildZoom's "Verified License" badge, master pipefitter #MA41P, is annotated as not having been verified since January 2010. BuildZoom itself says every one of these needs state confirmation. There is nothing from customers to weigh against that. BuildZoom's page has drawn zero reviews, and the 90 score printed there is built from permit history, not from anyone who hired him. If you call, ask for his current Massachusetts plumbing licence number and check it yourself against the state's licence lookup before work starts, and ask for recent job references — the permitted history on file ends in 2012.
