Cashman Dredging & Marine Contracting Co., LLC

Cashman Dredging & Marine Contracting isn't the company you call to fix a leaky faucet — it's a Quincy-based marine construction firm that takes on some of the largest dredging jobs in the country, including what the company points to as the largest environmental remediation dredging project in U.S. history. Founded in 2006 by Jay M. Cashman — who had already built J.M. Cashman in the 1970s and Jay Cashman, Inc. in the 1990s — the company is now part of the wider Cashman family of businesses, currently run by CEO Stephen Tobin. Its work covers navigation dredging, environmental dredging, beach renourishment, and marine drilling and blasting, both along the U.S. coast and internationally. The public track record here leans on federal and institutional work rather than homeowner reviews: it's a federally registered contractor out of Quincy, MA, has taken on maintenance dredging for the Port of New York and New Jersey's Arthur Kill Channel, and carries a 97-out-of-100 authority, insurance, and safety compliance score, with just one minor roadside-inspection violation on file. That's a strong professional-safety profile for a heavy-equipment operation. Worth knowing before assuming a clean slate: public filings also show a past EPA citation for illegal dumping tied to dredging work in Quincy, and the company has formally protested federal contract-bid terms it disagreed with through a GAO complaint — both signs of a firm operating at a scale where regulatory and legal friction comes with the territory. There isn't a meaningful base of homeowner or customer reviews to lean on — its Google listing shows just 3 ratings, all 5 stars, too thin to say much about day-to-day service. This is a heavy civil and marine contractor built for ports, waterways, and government work, not residential remodeling; anyone considering them for large-scale marine or environmental dredging work should ask directly about current safety compliance and recent project references, since what's public here is institutional rather than word-of-mouth.
