Peter Kwakye

Peter Kwakye is an electrician working out of Messer Avenue in Methuen, and whatever BuildZoom's category header says, that is the whole story. Every one of his ten permitted projects is electrical work — a 200-amp service, water heater and receptacle renovation, smoke detectors, a power reconnection — spread across Gardner, Lowell, Billerica, North Billerica, Malden, Hyde Park and Methuen between 2007 and 2024. BuildZoom files him under architects and prints a menu of building-design services; that is the directory's own category boilerplate, not his trade. Ten permits over seventeen years is a light footprint, and there is nothing here from customers. BuildZoom carries no reviews at all, and its score of 96 is calculated from permit activity rather than from anything a homeowner wrote. The licence block on that page deserves scepticism rather than confidence. The single number 20258 is printed under four different types — Electrician, Architect, and Master Electrician listed twice over. Three of those are marked "License Not Verified" and carry expiration dates that have already passed, August 2025 and July 2016, while still reading "Status Active". A separate City of Newton electrical contractor licence, #000050571, is shown as inactive and cancelled. Only the Electrician entry is one BuildZoom says it checked as active in April 2026 — the directory's check, not a state registry verification. If you are weighing him for a service upgrade or a panel job, get the licence number from him directly, confirm it with the state, and ask for recent addresses you can call, because nothing published here speaks to how the work goes.
