Philip J. Reddy

Philip J. Reddy is a Newtonville plumber whose paper trail is mostly permits rather than reviews: BuildZoom credits him with 69 permitted projects. The one homeowner who has written about him did so in January 2024, calling him "one of the best people to have do plumbing work and any other project that comes to mind" and saying he had handled jobs at both tenants' residences and the writer's own home, with careful work. That single account is the whole of his written customer record, and it carries a 5-star rating on BuildZoom. The credential is the part to settle before hiring. BuildZoom lists Massachusetts plumber licence #10563 as active but flags it "License Not Verified," and reports that when it last checked, the licence carried a May 2024 expiration date. That is the directory's own entry, not the state's word. For a homeowner, this reads as a long-working local plumber with a thin public review record. Ask him directly for his current Massachusetts plumbing licence number, verify it with the state before work begins, and ask for a couple of recent Newton-area references, since the one published account is now more than two years old.
