Barry Jones and Associates

Barry Jones and Associates is a carpet-installation business run from 20 Turnstone Terrace in Stoughton, on Boston's south side. The Better Business Bureau lists it as a sole proprietorship with five employees that started in January 2010, putting it at 16 years in the trade. Beyond those registration details there is very little public record to go on. The BBB has no customer reviews, no complaints and no government actions on file for the business, and it says outright that it does not have enough information to issue a rating; the company is not BBB accredited. That thinness is worth naming plainly rather than reading as either a good or a bad sign. A homeowner considering them will be doing their own diligence: ask for recent flooring jobs in Stoughton and the surrounding towns, for references you can call, and for proof of insurance and of the licensing the job requires. This is the kind of small, long-running local outfit that trades on word of mouth rather than on an online profile. If a neighbour's recommendation brought you here, the BBB file at least confirms the business is real, established in 2010, and small enough that you will be dealing with the owner.
