Jamie Labonte Plumbing & Heating

Twenty-eight permits, one employee. Jamie Labonte Plumbing & Heating is a one-man Westport shop, and the permit trail reads exactly like that: boiler swaps, generator gas hookups, bathroom fixture replacements, and the full rough plumbing on a new house. The company says it has been at it since 2006 and incorporated in 2019, with Jamie Labonte as owner and sole employee. Its BBB profile carries an A+ and the business became BBB Accredited in March 2026. It is also listed as a member of the Westport Chamber of Commerce. What the trade lists don't quite match is where the work happens. The permit history runs well beyond Westport — Falmouth and the Cape, Attleboro, the Eastons, Plymouth, Wayland — so a one-truck operation is covering a lot of ground, and how far he will travel for a residential call is worth asking before you count on him. No homeowner has written publicly about this business anywhere we could find. That is the honest gap: an A+ from the BBB reflects how a business handles complaints and disclosures, not what its plumbing looks like a year later, and there are no reviews to fill that in. The licensing needs a direct check too. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts plumber record, #15716, whose stated expiration was May 2024, and a Journeyman Plumber Class J record, #30219, whose stated expiration was May 2026 — both are the directory's claims, neither was confirmed against the state, and both dates have now passed. In Massachusetts a plumbing licence is not optional, so ask for the current number and check it yourself with the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters. He is a reasonable call for the jobs the permits actually show — a boiler or water-heater replacement, a gas line, a bathroom refit. Confirm the licence is current, confirm he covers your town, and ask for two recent customers you can call, because at the moment the permit record is doing all the talking.
