Highlights
- Expired electrician licence — Newton licence lapsed in 2007, still expired in 2022
- No active licence on file — BuildZoom flags the profile and scores it zero
- Thin permit record — two permits, the most recent from 2016
- No customer reviews — nothing posted about the work
The headline here is a licensing problem, not a workmanship one. BuildZoom flags John P Welsh Jr with an alert and a score of zero because no active license is on file: the electrician license issued by the Newton contractors license board, number 000039270, expired on 07-31-2007 and was still showing expired when it was last checked in March 2022. Electrical work in Massachusetts is licensed work, so that gap is the first thing to resolve with him directly. Beyond that, there is almost nothing on the record. Two permits appear under his name — a 2016 zoning permit in Beverly and a 2011 front-stair replacement in Nahant — and no customer has reviewed him. If you are considering him for electrical work at all, ask for a current Massachusetts electrician license number and check it with the state yourself before any work is scheduled, along with proof of liability and workers' compensation coverage. Without that, there is no basis here for a homeowner to go forward.
