Ashley Corporation - Est. 1989 -

Ashley Corporation runs jobs from $25,000 to $10 million, by its own account — a range that tells you more than any service list would. This is a construction management outfit that takes both high-end home renovations and full commercial work, not a crew you call for a single bathroom. The company is at 101 Elm Street in Marblehead and says it was established in 1989. Its Houzz profile offers references from recent, current and longtime clients on request, and shows five project galleries — among them a Marblehead Neck renovation and a Cambridge commercial-to-residential conversion. What is missing is any account from a customer. There are no reviews on any platform, which for a company claiming more than three decades of work is worth noting rather than explaining away. Houzz also lists a licence number, LR002360, but that is the directory's entry and was not confirmed against the state registry. If you are considering them, take the offer of references literally: ask for two or three homeowners with projects close to yours in size, ask which Massachusetts registration the contract will be written under, and check that number yourself with the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation before signing. No rating is published here — with nothing but a directory listing to go on, any number would be invented.
