COLETTA CONTRACTING

COLETTA CONTRACTING is a Seekonk, Massachusetts commercial general contracting and design-build firm working across Southern New England — by its own description, this is a commercial contractor specializing in retail, restaurant, corporate office, hospitality, higher-education, and municipal projects, not residential home-improvement work. It was founded in Providence in 1984 by Robert Coletta as Coletta Carpentry, a custom-home and remodeling business, before expanding into commercial subcontracting in 1994 and incorporating as Coletta Contracting Co., Inc. in 2000 with son Justin; the company remains family-run today. Google shows a 4.5-star rating from 15 ratings, and the Better Business Bureau lists an A+ grade (not accredited) and 25 years in business since incorporation. In 2019, local trade press reported the Town of Seekonk had teamed with Coletta Contracting and several other firms to design and construct a new municipal building. The written reviews come mostly from professional partners rather than homeowners — architects, subcontractors, and other general contractors — describing years of repeated collaboration. One architecture firm called their documentation thorough and accurate and their workmanship exceptional; a project manager for an electrical contractor with 25 years of industry experience called them one of the best general contractors they've worked with; others praised the team's communication and treatment of subcontractors. Two reviews stand apart. In the only review from the last six months, a caller said the company never responded to a couple of calls. A separate, earlier 2026 review simply says 'Awful work' with no further detail. Given this business describes itself as a commercial contractor rather than a residential one, a homeowner considering hiring Coletta Contracting for a house project should confirm directly that residential work is something they take on.
