Steven M Collins

Nearly every permit filed under Steven M Collins says the same thing: "Mass Save insulation & air sealing, no structural changes." That is the work — utility-program weatherization, done at volume across eastern and central Massachusetts, from Braintree and Milton down through Taunton, Norwell and North Easton, out to East Falmouth, and as far west as Springfield and Sheffield. The volume is real. BuildZoom counts 240 permitted projects in all, 187 of them in the past three years, with a typical job valued around $5,554. The pace has eased: 84 permits in 2023, 74 in 2024, 29 in 2025. He works out of Winthrop and carries Massachusetts Department of Public Safety licence CSSL-106221, listed as an insulation contractor and a construction supervisor specialty. BuildZoom says it confirmed that licence active as of July 2026, and scores him 108, which it puts above 95% of the 139,240 licensed contractors it tracks in the state. One wrinkle is worth knowing. BuildZoom files him under "HVAC/Mechanical Contractor" and counts 148 HVAC projects, but the permits themselves describe insulation and air sealing rather than heating or cooling equipment. If you are calling about a furnace or an air conditioner, ask directly what he installs and services. No customer has posted a review, so the permit trail is what there is to go on. For a Mass Save weatherization job, that trail is deep and current; ask for a couple of recent references in your town before booking.
