Jose P. Lopez

A hundred and twelve permits, and not one review. Jose P. Lopez works out of Milton as a plumber, and everything known about him is municipal paperwork: BuildZoom counts 112 permitted projects, 43 of them in the last three years — 15 in 2025, 14 in 2024, 14 in 2023 — with 36 of the last four years' permits classed as plumbing work. The work travels. His name sits on plumbing, gas and mechanical permits in Brookline, Braintree, Brockton, Malden, Lowell, Medfield, Springfield, Lynn and Nahant, plus a couple of electrical ones. They are small jobs: BuildZoom puts the typical permit value at roughly $1,800, so this is fixture-and-fitting work rather than whole-house projects. Licensing is what to nail down, and the directory's own records are unflattering. BuildZoom assigns him a score of 0 specifically because it has no active licence on file; it lists a Massachusetts licence #32591 it marks unverified and last saw with a May 2016 expiration, a Massachusetts electrician licence #23631 it reports as cancelled, and a home improvement contractor registration #193977 it also reports as cancelled. Those are a directory's records rather than the state's, and plumbing is a licensed trade in Massachusetts — ask him for his current plumbing licence number and check it against the state board before he touches a pipe. Someone pulling 14 or 15 permits a year is plainly working, and steadily, on small residential plumbing across eastern Massachusetts. BuildZoom carries no reviews and no star rating for him, so lean on references you can call and a licence number you can verify rather than on a reputation you can look up.
