Galinsky Plumbing & Heating Inc

Galinsky Plumbing & Heating is a mechanical shop in Haverhill — plumbing, heating, HVAC and sheet metal — and its permit file is one of the deeper ones around: 148 permitted projects, about 25 of them in the past three years, 16 in 2024 and 9 in 2023. The shape of that work matters as much as the count. Typical permit value runs around $15,000 and most of it is new construction, which puts the company in the builder's-subcontractor lane rather than the call-them-for-a-clogged-drain one. BuildZoom scores the business 105 and places that in the top 8% of licensed Massachusetts contractors, though the score comes from licensing and permit filings — no customer has written about them there. The licence records are worth a direct question. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts plumbing business licence, #3196, and a plumber licence, #10348, both last seen expiring in May 2026 and both marked "License Not Verified". A construction supervisor licence, #CS-015636, is listed inactive. Those expiration dates have now passed. For a builder or a homeowner running a new build or a mechanical package, the volume and the ticket size line up with the work. Ask for the current plumbing licence numbers and confirm them against the state registry, and ask for a couple of recent job references — the permit trail is long, but nobody has written down how the jobs went.
