Alexandra Construction, Inc.

Alexandra Construction builds wider than most houses ever need — the Newton Upper Falls company describes itself as a family-owned, full-service general contractor handling commercial, institutional, historical, recreational, specialty and residential work up and down the East Coast, with more than 30 years behind it and construction value in excess of one hundred million dollars. Its Better Business Bureau page grades it A+ and puts the business at 33 years. A federal contracting database lists the company as a federal contract recipient headquartered in Newton Upper Falls. One thing to settle before anything else: the Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration held under the Alexandra Construction name, #127237, is expired on the state registry. Ask whether it has been renewed and get the current registration number in hand before you sign a residential contract. For a big project — an addition, a historical restoration — this is a contractor with a long commercial resume to draw on. Confirm the registration status, ask for the insurance certificate, and get the scope and schedule in writing before the crew starts.
