A & S Construction and Demolition, Co.

A & S Construction and Demolition works the part of the trade most contractors send elsewhere: lead-paint deleading and asbestos abatement, plus the demolition, mold remediation and general contracting that go with them, for homes and commercial buildings around Boston. It says it has experience working with state and local housing authorities, and it runs out of 4 Lorna Rd in Mattapan with a second location on Washington St in Jamaica Plain. The one thing to settle before you hire: its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, held in the name of owner Andrew Simpson, is on the state registry as EXPIRED — it ran from January 2024 to 30 January 2026. The Better Business Bureau lists the same number, 157317, plus a Department of Labor Standards licence AC000992, but those are the BBB's records rather than verifications, and the company's own site claims Asbestos Contractor, Asbestos Supervisor, Deleader Contractor, Deleader Supervisor, Construction Supervisor and Home Improvement Contractor licences without giving numbers. Ask to see the current certificates — abatement and deleading are licensed work in Massachusetts. No customer reviews exist anywhere for this company, so there is nothing to say about how the work goes. Its BBB profile is graded A+ and is not accredited, and BBB records a single employee. The two sources also disagree about how long it has been at this: the company's site says more than 25 years, while the BBB profile puts the business start at 1 January 2014 and incorporation at 28 December 2018. Worth a call if you need deleading or asbestos abatement in Boston and want a small, owner-run outfit that handles the paperwork side with housing authorities. Confirm the HIC registration has been renewed and get the abatement licence numbers in writing before any work starts.
