James J. Moran

James J. Moran is a Methuen plumber who exists on paper more than online. The only trace of the business anywhere is an unclaimed BuildZoom profile assembled from permit and licence records, and it lists the work as septic tanks and systems, sewer laterals, plumbing, gas and piping, and boiler and water-heater work. No customer has reviewed the business on that page, and BuildZoom scores it 0, saying plainly that this does not rank in the top half of Massachusetts contractors. One permit is shown: a $32,500 exterior painting and repair job in Malden from 2021, filed as expired. That is a strange fit for a plumbing listing, and it is the whole visible work history. The licence line deserves care. BuildZoom lists number 28879 with a status field reading Active, but the same page is headed "License Not Verified", records the last verified expiration as May 2012, and footnotes its score with "No active license on file". The type listed is Apprentice Plumber — a trainee credential, not a journeyman or master licence. None of that is a state-registry confirmation, and the page contradicts itself, so treat it as a directory's claim and nothing more. If you are considering this plumber, ask for the licence number and check it directly with the Massachusetts Division of Occupational Licensure before any work is scheduled, and ask for references you can call — there is no customer history here to lean on.
