Paul G. Michel Construction works out of 17 Windmill Rd in Haverhill, and the permits tell you what the shop actually does: plumbing, gas fitting, sheet metal and gas heating, filed between 2008 and 2021. That is mechanical work — pipes, ductwork and heat — rather than kitchens and bathrooms. The homeowner side is close to empty. One anonymous five-star review sits on the BuildZoom profile, posted in 2017, with nothing said about the job. BuildZoom scores the business 92, but that number is built from licensing and permit filings, not from people who hired him. The licensing is where a call is worth making. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts construction supervisor license, CS-050939, which it says it verified active in June 2026, and a sheet metal license, #5225, last seen active with a March 2026 expiration. Those are the directory's own entries, not confirmations from the state. Two plumbing credentials under the same number, #15549, carry expirations that have already passed — May 2024 for the plumber license, May 2016 for the master plumber license — and the Home Improvement Contractor registration, #132019, is listed inactive and at one point cancelled. If you are hiring for gas or sheet-metal work, this is a shop with a decade-plus of permitted jobs in exactly that lane. Before signing anything, ask for the current plumbing license number and the registration status and check both against the state registry yourself, since the listed dates for several of them have passed.
