Kevin E Sarrette

BuildZoom flags this one. Its profile for Kevin E Sarrette, a Haverhill plumber, carries an ALERT badge and a score of zero, on the directory's own stated ground that no active license is on file for him. That sits next to 85 permitted projects — seven in the past three years, mostly plumbing and gas work across Beverly, Salem, Marblehead, Manchester and Methuen — so the work history is real and the licensing question is the open one. The license entries are all dated, and BuildZoom says it verified none of them. It lists a Massachusetts plumber license, #11000, as active but unverified, last seen with a May 2024 expiration, plus two further Massachusetts numbers, #24614 and #18831, likewise unverified and last seen expiring in 2016. A Massachusetts Department of Public Safety sprinkler contractor license, #SC-000318, is shown as inactive or cancelled. None of this has been checked against the state registry here — an unverified directory entry is not proof of a lapse any more than it is proof of a license. There are no customer reviews on that profile, so nothing written by a homeowner exists to weigh against or alongside the permits. The practical step here is narrow. Before any plumbing or gas work, ask for the current license number and verify it directly with the state; gas fitting in particular is not work to take on trust. If the license checks out, the permit history says he has been doing this work around the North Shore for years.
