Roary McCracken

Roary McCracken is a Haverhill plumber whose paper trail is permits, not reviews. BuildZoom counts ten permitted jobs between 2013 and 2022 — boilers and gas lines, a bathroom added to a second floor, backflow preventers and hot-water storage tanks — filed in Brighton, Brookline, Bradford, Weston, Tewksbury and Peabody. That is heating-side plumbing work, and it spans a decade and a good stretch of eastern Massachusetts. What it does not come with is a single customer account: BuildZoom's page carries no reviews at all, so there is nothing here about how the jobs went for the people who paid for them. The thing to settle before calling is the license. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts plumber license, number 16595, but flags it as not verified and notes an expiration date of May 2024, and its own alert says no active license is on file. That is the directory's record, not a confirmation either way — check the current status directly with the state before hiring, and ask him for it in writing. His BuildZoom score sits at 0, which that site says puts him outside the top half of Massachusetts contractors; on a profile with no reviews, that score reflects the missing license and thin claimed information more than any judgment of the work. Best read as an unknown quantity with real permit history behind him: worth a conversation if you need boiler or gas-line work and can get recent references, but confirm the license and insurance first.
