Jeffrey I Grig

Jeffrey I. Grig is a one-man plumbing licence working out of 15 Hancock St in Melrose, and the only thing anyone has written down about him is the permit trail — which is unusually busy for a solo plumber. BuildZoom counts 66 permitted projects, 18 of them in the last three years. The work is bread-and-butter residential plumbing and gas: bathroom and kitchen renovations, water-heater and gas-stove replacements, washing-machine and dishwasher hookups, gas piping for grills and fire pits — filed mostly in Brookline, with the rest spread across Jamaica Plain, West Roxbury, Roslindale, Chestnut Hill and downtown Boston. The typical permit is around $1,400, so this is repair-and-renovation work rather than whole-house new construction, though a few jobs run past $20,000. BuildZoom scores him 103, which it says puts him above 90% of Massachusetts contractors. What is missing is the customer side. No homeowner has written a review on any source we searched, so there is nothing here about how he communicates, schedules or prices. His licence records are also worth checking: BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts plumber licence and a master plumber licence under #15829 but labels both "License Not Verified", with the master record's last-seen expiration back in May 2016. If you want a plumber with a long, verifiable Brookline-and-Boston permit history for a bathroom or kitchen renovation, he is worth a call — ask for the licence number and confirm it with the Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters, and ask for a couple of recent customer references since none are published.
