Gary F McLaughlin

Gary F. McLaughlin is a one-name plumbing operation working out of Middleton, and what exists about him is a paper trail rather than a reputation: BuildZoom's permit-derived profile counts 21 permitted jobs under his name. Those permits are ordinary residential plumbing and gas work, and they cluster in the towns around him — Beverly, Rowley, Danvers and North Billerica — with the sample BuildZoom shows running from 2018 through 2023. A water heater replaced here, washer plumbing moved to a first floor there, boilers and a cross-connection device on other jobs. It is the shape of a working local plumber rather than a remodeling outfit. What is missing is anyone saying what the work was like. BuildZoom states plainly that it has received no reviews for him, and nothing else turned up under this name, so there is no homeowner account to weigh in either direction. The BuildZoom score of 96 attached to the profile is calculated from permit activity, not from customers, and should not be read as praise. The licensing picture needs a phone call before it means anything. BuildZoom lists two Massachusetts numbers for him, #12796 as a Plumber and #22529, and heads both blocks "License Not Verified" while simultaneously marking them Active — and the last-verified expiration dates it prints, May 2024 and May 2016, have already passed. Those are the directory's own words about its own records, not the state's. He is a reasonable call for the small, permitted plumbing and gas jobs the record actually shows, in the Middleton–Beverly–Danvers area. Confirm his current plumbing licence directly with the Commonwealth's licensing board, and ask for a couple of recent customer references, since no written ones exist to read.
