D. A. WELCH CONSTRUCTION

D. A. Welch Construction is a Needham-based concrete and excavation contractor that says it has worked the Boston metro area for over 25 years, handling everything from site excavation to poured foundations, slabs, and retaining walls. The written record is thin and dated: the only two Google reviews on file are both from 2020. One customer wrote that year they were still waiting to be paid for a concrete pump they'd provided back in December 2017; a second 2020 review pushes back, saying that particular bill was the general contractor's responsibility, not D. A. Welch's, and offering to sort it out by phone. BuildZoom lists two active Massachusetts registrations for the company — a Home Improvement Contractor license (#189895) and a Construction Supervisor license (#CSFA-089858) — along with 8 recorded building permits, though neither license has been checked directly against the state registry. Given how old and mixed the review record is, it's worth asking directly about payment terms and getting current references before booking a foundation or excavation job with them.
