Lance D. Macinnis

Lance D. Macinnis is an owner-operated electrician working out of 12 Locust St in Middleton, Massachusetts. What exists for him is a long permit trail rather than a review file. Building-permit records show 147 permitted projects overall, 13 of them in the last three years, with a typical permit around $3,000. The work is consistently small residential electrical: hot tub and in-ground pool circuits, 100-to-200 amp service upgrades, service changes after weather and fire damage, exterior heat-pump feeds, LED and receptacle installations. Those jobs are spread across Middleton, Danvers, Beverly, Topsfield, Rowley, Nahant, Manchester, Methuen and Marblehead, so the North Shore coverage is genuine rather than nominal. That mix is worth knowing before you call: this is a specialist doing focused circuits and service work at a few thousand dollars a job, not a firm that takes on whole-house rewires as its bread and butter. No customer reviews are published for him on any source that returned data, so there is no homeowner feedback to weigh here at all. The BuildZoom score of 100 shown beside his name is calculated from permits and licence status, not from customers, and is not a star rating. The licence picture needs care rather than trust. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts electrician licence, number 21217, which it states it verified as active in April 2026. But it prints that same number 21217 a second time, labelled Master Electrician, marked Active while simultaneously carrying a stated expiry of July 2016 under a 'License Not Verified' heading — and a third Massachusetts number, 37455, with no type at all and the same contradictory 'Active but expired July 2016' treatment. Alongside those sit an inactive Sheet Metal licence and an inactive Security Systems S-licence, both of which the directory says were cancelled at some point. One number cannot be both verified-active in 2026 and expired in 2016, so the directory is contradicting itself rather than reporting a settled fact. If you are hiring for anything permitted, confirm the electrician licence directly with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts E-Licensing Board before work starts. For hot tub or pool wiring and service upgrades anywhere from Middleton out to Marblehead and Nahant, the permit history is deep and specific; ask for recent references, since none are published.
