Keith E Rhodes

Keith E Rhodes is a Swampscott plumber, and his Massachusetts plumber's licence is active on the state registry in his own name. The permit trail is small and spread out: gas permits for cook stoves at a Salem multifamily in 2018, a basement boiler in Salem in 2020, and, back in 2015, a $47,000 plumbing fit-out of an urgent care clinic on Needham Street in Newton Highlands. Three jobs, two towns, and a commercial build-out bigger than anything a house would call for. One thing to know before you call: mass.gov reported in October 2015 that Keith Rhodes, then 54, of Swampscott, pled guilty in Essex Superior Court to seven counts of larceny by embezzlement over $250 and seven counts of failure to pay prevailing wages. That was eleven years ago, and the plea closed the case — still worth knowing before you hand someone a key. For a gas appliance hookup, a boiler or straightforward plumbing around Swampscott and Salem, the licence the work requires is in place. Ask for references from recent residential jobs, confirm insurance, and get the price in writing before anyone starts.
