BOSTON CONCRETE FORMS INC

Concrete is the centre of this Chelsea company. Its Houzz profile describes a design-build outfit that specializes in concrete foundations while serving Boston, and BuildZoom shows 20 permitted projects under its name. The listed scope runs well past the foundation: general contracting, carpentry, framing, decks, excavation, patios, roofing, sheetrock, siding, and metal, vinyl and wood fencing. Two things to settle before you sign. The Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration held in the company's name, #198092, is expired on the state registry. Separately, Violation Tracker, which compiles federal enforcement actions, lists a 2015 wage-and-hour violation against the company carrying a $34,000 penalty. For foundation and site work on a Boston-area job, the concrete experience is the reason to call. Get the registration status as it stands today before any work on your house starts, ask how the 2015 wage-and-hour matter was resolved, and put the full scope — foundation, framing, anything above it — in one written contract.
