John Moore

What exists for John Moore of 64 Parallel St, Harwich is a permit trail, not a reputation. BuildZoom carries ten permitted projects under the name and no customer reviews at all. The local, on-trade entries are two Harwich siding permits pulled in 2018 and 2019 on the same Orleans Road property. The rest of the file wanders: a 2008 bathroom gut in Nahant, Falmouth plumbing and gas permits from 2003 to 2006, and electrical permits in Boston, Belmont and South Dennis between 2020 and 2023 — a spread wide enough that some of it may belong to another tradesman of the same name, which is a known hazard of permit directories. BuildZoom also lists a Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #109953, as inactive and at one point cancelled, and prints a 'no active license on file' alert on the profile. That is the directory's own record rather than a check against the state registry, but a registration that lapsed is a different fact from never having held one, and it is worth asking about directly. If you're considering him for siding or exterior work on the Cape, ask for the current registration and insurance certificates before anything else, and for addresses of recent jobs you can go look at — there is nothing published that speaks to how the work turned out.
