Jason Landry

Fifty-seven permits, no reviews. Jason Landry works out of Beverly as a plumber, and almost everything known about him comes from town permit records rather than from customers. The jobs are the everyday kind: water heaters and tankless units, backflow preventers, gas stoves and direct-vent heaters, kitchen sinks, bathroom additions and remodels. They run across Beverly, Danvers, Marblehead, Topsfield and Everett. A few step outside straight plumbing — a four-zone heat pump with three wall units and a ducted attic unit in Danvers, a gas furnace and fireplace in Beverly, and a handicap-accessible restroom and shower at a Beverly school. Most permits are small, several under $5,000. BuildZoom also lists sprinkler systems, septic systems, sewer laterals, gas piping and boiler and water heater work among the services. The thing worth resolving before calling: BuildZoom flags this contractor with an alert saying no active licence is on file, and scores him zero on that basis. That is the directory's own record, not a state determination, and directory licence data is frequently wrong or stale — but plumbing and gas work in Massachusetts require a licence, and permits are pulled under one. Ask him directly for his Massachusetts plumbing or gas fitting licence number and check it with the Division of Occupational Licensure before any work begins. No customer anywhere has written about this work, so there is nothing to read on how jobs actually went. Anyone considering him should ask for recent local references — the permit history shows plenty of nearby jobs to ask about — and settle the licence question first.
