DePaoli Mosaic Company

Terrazzo is a narrow craft inside flooring, and DePaoli Mosaic has been working it out of Canton for a very long time. The company says it has installed terrazzo since 1890; its BBB profile puts incorporation at 1919 and the current staff at 25, with Leslie Carrio listed as chief operating officer. The business describes itself as woman-owned and as WBE- and DBE-certified in Massachusetts, and an unclaimed Procore listing carries the same two classifications. The jobs that get written about are big and public. The National Terrazzo & Mosaic Association gave the company a 2023 Honor Award for a terrazzo floor installed at Boston Children's Hospital, and in February 2025 the association named the terrazzo at Boston's Winthrop Center one of 17 winning projects, crediting the installation to DePaoli. Further back, in 2019 the SBA's Massachusetts district named it the Jeffrey Butland Family Owned Small Business of the Year for Massachusetts and New England. Carrio has carried weight in the trade too: a November 2023 High-Profile item reported her election as president of the Associated Subcontractors of Massachusetts for the 2023-2025 term, and she has served as president of the NTMA board. Written customer accounts are a different story — thin and dated. Google shows 5 stars across 4 ratings, and the single review on file was posted in April 2021: "Great group to work with! Call them for any of your Terrazzo needs!" That is a compliment rather than an account of a job. Its BBB page is an A+ with no complaints or government actions published, though the company is not BBB accredited. One thing to sort out before calling: the work described here is largely commercial. The Procore listing places the company in commercial and institutional markets, and the named projects are a hospital and a downtown tower. A homeowner after a terrazzo entryway or a seamless epoxy floor should ask directly whether that scale of residential job fits, and where crews travel — the company says it installs terrazzo and resinous flooring throughout New England, including green/LEED terrazzo, renovations and artistic work. This is the right call for architects, general contractors and institutional owners who need cast-in-place terrazzo done by a shop with a century-plus of it behind them, and it is worth a conversation for an ambitious residential floor. Ask for recent references on a project close to yours in size, and confirm the WBE and DBE certifications with the state if they matter to your bid — those come from the company's own site and a directory listing.
