Vladimir Garcia

Fifty-five pulled permits and not a single review anywhere — Vladimir Garcia is a Haverhill plumber whose work shows up in town records rather than on rating sites. The permit trail says what he does better than any profile blurb: high-efficiency and combi boilers, water heaters, gas line work and meter relocations, new bathrooms cut into basements with ejector pumps, kitchen and laundry rough-ins. Typical job value sits around $8,000, and the work spreads well beyond Haverhill — Methuen most of all, plus Merrimac, Gardner, Randolph, Braintree and East Boston. Roughly 20 of those permits were pulled in the last three years, so this is an active shop, not a dormant registration. BuildZoom scores him 104, which it places in the top 9% of the Massachusetts contractors it tracks — a number driven by permit volume and licensing records, not by customers. Two things to settle before calling. BuildZoom itself flags the Massachusetts plumber license it lists, number 17398, as not verified, and the expiration date on that record — May 2026 — has already passed, so ask him for the current license and confirm it with the state board directly. And with no published reviews at all, you will have to do the reference work yourself: ask for two or three recent customers in Methuen or Haverhill. Worth a call if you need boiler or heating-system work and care more about a documented permit history than about star ratings.
