John G Latham Inc is a plumbing, heating, and air-conditioning business at 83 Cathedral Rd in Brewster, Massachusetts, run as a sole proprietorship by John Latham. The company has been in business since 1984, 42 years, according to its Better Business Bureau profile, which also lists plumbing, heating, and air conditioning as its offered services. The company's plumbing license, #9101-PL-M, is verified active by the Massachusetts state licensing board under John Latham's name, a genuine, government-checked credential rather than a directory's self-reported claim. The one written account on file is a glowing 2020 Google review from a longtime customer who says the business provided excellent service to two generations of their family, describing the work as reliable, honest, prompt, and effective. That same review congratulates Jack, likely a nickname for John, on an upcoming retirement, though it isn't clear from the evidence whether that meant the owner or a staff member, or how it affected the business afterward. Beyond that one review and a 5-star average from two Google ratings, there isn't much recent written record to go on. BuildZoom's page for the company also lists several other Massachusetts license records, most marked inactive or cancelled, plus two more (General Contractor and Electrical Contractor) that share an identical license number and are filed under Newton, a different city from the company's Brewster address; those look like a mismatch rather than a second registration for this business, and none of it changes the one credential that is independently verified: the active MA plumbing license. Anyone considering this company for plumbing, heating, or air-conditioning work in Brewster or nearby has a verified, decades-old license to point to, but should ask directly about current staffing and availability, and whether the 2020 review's mention of a retirement affected day-to-day operations.
Jack, Congratulations on your upcoming retirement! Thank you for all the years that you have provided excellent service to my grandparents and parents. Reliable, honest, prompt, effective work. You will be missed. Best to you and your family. Enjoy retirement!! Matt D
