John B Gough Plumbing and Heating

John B Gough Plumbing and Heating works out of Chatham, handling the calls a Cape Cod plumber gets in every season — a leaking gas line, a boiler on the fritz, a bathroom rough-in. Building permit records show 38 jobs since 2020 stretching from Chatham to Dennis, Harwich, and both Yarmouths, and BuildZoom's own scoring puts the company in the top 16% of the state's 139,240 licensed contractors. The state confirms the license behind that work: John Gough's Journeyman Plumber registration (Class J, #19228) is active and registered directly to him. The written feedback online is thin — just one Google review on file, from 2022, calling the company "100% best plumber out there" — so there isn't much of a track record to lean on beyond the permit history and the license itself. Worth asking about directly: current pricing and scheduling, since neither shows up anywhere in the record yet. For a straightforward plumbing or gas job on the Cape, the license checks out and the permit trail is real and recent — just go in knowing the online review history is very short.
