Timothy D. Carney

Read the permit list for Timothy D. Carney and a pattern jumps out fast: rooftop units, a thermal recovery unit, 3 psi gas piping, a nursing-school building at Endicott College, a Billerica technology park. This is a Methuen-based plumber and gasfitter whose documented work skews commercial and institutional rather than kitchens and bathrooms — and none of the eight permits on file was pulled in Methuen itself. The range he lists is broader than that: plumbing, boilers and water heaters, gas and piping, fire sprinkler systems, septic tanks. But what municipalities actually recorded is gas work on mechanical equipment across Braintree, Billerica, Needham Heights and Burlington. If you are a homeowner calling about a leaking bathroom, it is worth asking up front whether residential work is something he takes on — the recorded jobs point the other way. Nobody has written about him publicly. His BuildZoom page carries no customer reviews at all, so there is no account anywhere from someone who hired him. The score of 93 sitting on that page is calculated from licence and permit records, not from customer opinion; BuildZoom's own note on the same page says it generally recommends contractors scoring above 95. The licence entries need sorting out before any work starts. BuildZoom lists number 15718 twice under two different types — once as "Plumber" with an expiration it last saw in May 2026, and again as "Master Plumber" with an expiration of May 2016, that second record also carrying a stray extra number, 30409. Both are flagged "License Not Verified." That is a directory's bookkeeping rather than the state's word. What is here is a real, traceable trail of gas and mechanical permits going back to 2017, with the most recent filed in 2025 — evidence of someone actively working. What is missing is any customer voice at all. Ask him for his current plumbing and gasfitting licence number and check it with the Massachusetts Board of State Examiners of Plumbers and Gas Fitters, ask whether your kind of job is work he does, and ask for references directly, since the public record offers none.
