Commonwealth Contracting

What exists publicly for Commonwealth Contracting is a trade and a trading history, not a customer history. BBB lists the Boston company at 19 Brooksdale Rd under four headings: paint removal, lead paint detection and removal, painting, and renovation and remodeling — with the lead-paint work the part that sets it apart from a general painting outfit. BBB records the business as started on 1/1/1993 and incorporated in March 2005, with four employees and Errol W. Walshe as owner. Three decades of trading behind a four-person shop is the most substantial thing on the page. The page also shows an A+ alongside an explicit statement that the business is not BBB Accredited. Those are two separate facts, and the letter is BBB's own mark rather than anything customers scored: no reviews, no complaint count and no government actions are published there, so nothing on that page speaks to how the work turns out. For lead-paint removal in particular, the useful next step is asking what lead-safe certification the crew holds and getting two or three recent addresses you can call. There is no public word-of-mouth here to lean on in either direction.
