What exists on McCarriston Plumbing & Heating is a permit trail, not a review history — 13 permitted jobs on record and not one customer account anywhere. The permits describe ordinary residential plumbing: kitchen and bathroom fixtures, water heaters, dishwashers and disposals. They run through Marblehead in 2021, Salem in 2020, and an Arlington bathroom renovation back in 2013. BuildZoom files the company under mechanical work, sheet metal work and HVAC. The licence picture on that same BuildZoom page contradicts itself, and it is worth knowing exactly how. It shows a Massachusetts plumbing business licence, number 4300, marked Active with an expiration of May 2026 — and stamps the whole block 'License Not Verified'. Immediately below it lists a second Massachusetts plumbing business record as Inactive, saying the state's E-Licensing board showed it at one point cancelled. The page then carries an alert reading 'No active license on file'. None of that is a state verification, and we did not confirm any of it against the registry ourselves. BuildZoom also assigns the company a score of 0 and says that does not rank in the top 50% of Massachusetts contractors. That number is derived from permit history, not from customers — nobody has left a review there at all. If you are considering them for plumbing or heating work, check licence 4300 directly with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts before anything else, and ask for recent local references, because there is no public account of how their jobs go.
