Kevin J Hinds

Kevin J. Hinds is a Middleton electrician whose public trail is made almost entirely of permits. BuildZoom counts 20 permitted jobs filed under his name between 2001 and 2022 — wiring for kitchen remodels and second-floor additions, smoke detectors, a residential AC system, a rooftop unit replacement — spread across Danvers, Beverly, Peabody, Melrose, Burlington, Newton Center and Charlestown. The mailing address on file is a Middleton PO box. There is no customer voice at all: BuildZoom states outright that it has received no reviews for him, and nothing else on file speaks to his work. That is the reason no star rating appears here. The BuildZoom Score of 0 on that page is not a customer verdict either — it is a permit-and-licence metric, and the page itself says it is pulled down by an alert about licensing rather than by anything a homeowner said. The licensing picture on that page is genuinely muddled, and it is worth untangling before you call. BuildZoom prints the same number, 36480, twice with opposite statuses — once as active for Massachusetts under a heading that reads 'License Not Verified', noting the licence carried a July 2016 expiration when it last looked, and once as inactive under the City of Newton, which it says cancelled it at some point — while flagging 'No active license on file'. None of that was confirmed with the state, and directory licence records are wrong in both directions often enough that neither version should be taken as settled. The practical step is simple: ask him for his current Massachusetts electrician's licence number and check it directly with the state Board of State Examiners of Electricians, and ask for references from recent jobs, since there are no published reviews to read.
