Michael R Kingston

There is no written customer record for Michael R Kingston at all — what exists instead is a paper trail of permits. BuildZoom's profile for the Beverly, Massachusetts contractor lists seven permitted jobs, every one of them sheet-metal and HVAC work: new ductwork with a furnace and air conditioning, hot-air furnace and A/C replacements, a heat-recovery ventilator. The work spans the North Shore rather than one town. Permits filed between 2016 and 2023 sit in Beverly, Marblehead and Peabody, and the mix is not purely residential — several are tagged as commercial building type, including a $30,000 heating and cooling system at a pizza restaurant in 2021, alongside a one-or-two-family furnace replacement. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Sheet Metal licence, number 5920, under the name Michael R Kingston, and says it checked that number as active in September 2025. That is the directory's own claim rather than a confirmation, so check the number yourself with the Commonwealth's licensing board before hiring. The site also prints a "BZ Score" of 93; that figure is calculated from permit history, not from anything a customer said. BuildZoom states plainly that it has received no reviews for this contractor, and nothing turned up elsewhere either. So the honest position is that the permits show a real sheet-metal trade doing furnace, duct and air-conditioning installs on the North Shore over roughly seven years — and nothing shows what it was like to hire him. If you call, ask for references from recent jobs and confirm the licence number directly with the state.
