Kevin Klein is a solo Cambridge plumber whose state license is verified active, and BuildZoom's permit records show 168 small plumbing and gas jobs filed across Brookline, Boston, Brighton, and nearby towns — mostly repairs and installs under $5,000. The handful of reviews on file, from 2019 through 2022, describe the same kind of call: a water heater that needed swapping out fast, or a repair done cleanly and on time. A 2022 review credits him with getting hot water back quickly after an emergency swap; the 2019 reviews describe him as prompt, communicative, and workmanlike, cleaning up the area when finished. His official Massachusetts plumbing license, 12088-PL-M, is active and verified directly with the state, good through 2028. BuildZoom's own listing for that same number is inconsistent — it's shown as active in one place but flagged 'not verified' and reported as no active license elsewhere on the same profile — and a separate, older license number tied to a plumbing corporation shows up as both active and cancelled in BuildZoom's historical records. None of that changes what the state registry itself confirms. For a straightforward plumbing repair or a water heater swap, Kevin Klein is a reasonable call backed by a verified, current license — just don't be thrown off by the mismatched details on his BuildZoom listing.
