Michael W. Beattie

Michael W. Beattie is a one-man plumbing operation working out of 109 Circuit Rd in Winthrop, and the only customer account written about him comes from a neighbor. In a March 2022 review, a Winthrop homeowner described sewer drainage trouble under the house — not a clog, actual pipe work. Beattie gave a quote, showed up sooner than the customer expected, and had it finished in a couple of hours. That is the entire written history: one review, on one directory, four years old. BuildZoom also lists seven permitted projects under his name — plumbing and gas permits filed in Boston, East Boston, Cambridge, Newton Upper Falls and Arlington between 2011 and 2014 — so his working footprint has reached well past Winthrop. On licensing, BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts plumber licence and a plumbing corporation licence for him, but marks both as not verified, and its own entries disagree: the corporation number appears as active on one line and cancelled on another. Ask him for the number and check it against the state board directly. For a Winthrop sewer or drain-line repair, the single account on file is specific and positive. Treat it as one voice rather than a track record, and settle the licence and the price before work starts.
