Richard T. Bowman

Richard T. Bowman's permit history is the everyday plumbing of the Merrimack Valley: 27 jobs on file out of 6 Horne Street in Bradford, all of them under $5,000 — bathroom and kitchen work, water heater and boiler replacements, backflow devices, and a gas fireplace line, spread across Methuen, Haverhill, Bradford, Merrimac, Westford and Peabody. Two of those permits landed in the last two years, so the pace has slowed. What the page does not carry is a single customer voice. BuildZoom holds no reviews for him at all, and the BuildZoom score of 0 is worked out from permit and licence records rather than from anything a homeowner said. The licence block is the part that needs untangling before anyone hires. Every record is stamped "License Not Verified," and the same number, 13496, turns up under four different types — a Massachusetts plumber licence running to May 2026, a master plumber entry expiring May 2016 that is printed twice, and two municipal registrations marked cancelled. A second number, 25201, appears both as an untyped active state licence and as a cancelled electrical contractor registration. The page's own alert reads "No active license on file" while four records above it say Active. None of that has been checked against the state registry here. One more oddity worth a direct question: the employee block on that profile names Richard J Parent as owner alongside Richard T. Bowman, so it is not clear from the page alone whose business it is. For a water heater swap or a bathroom fixture job in Haverhill or Bradford, the permit record shows someone who has done exactly that work. Ask for his current master plumber number and look it up with the state yourself, ask who will actually be on the job, and get a couple of recent references, since none are published.
