E.W. Wood

E.W. Wood, Inc. is a one-person excavation and site-work company run by Eric Wood from 122 Woodridge Road in Wayland. Its BBB file, opened in 2002 by the company's own start date, describes it as focused on excavation and site work in the Metro-West high-end residential and commercial markets. The public trace of its work is municipal and civic rather than customer-written. In 2012 the Patch reported that site excavation for a Wayland project was largely donated by the company. A Weston conservation filing records it as the contractor on a notice of intent to raze and rebuild a single-family home. Its permit history on BuildZoom is dominated by trench and excavation permits in Cambridge plus a 2021 West Roxbury demolition — five projects in all. Customer feedback is dated and very thin: Google shows 5 stars from two ratings, and the only written review, from January 2019, says simply that the company was 'Very professional and great to deal with'. BBB grades it A+ but it is not accredited and publishes no reviews, complaints or star rating. One thing to check before hiring: BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts General Contractor licence, number 165895, that it records as expired on 25 February 2021 and re-verified as expired in April 2026. That is a directory's record rather than a state registry check, and excavation and site work do not carry the same registration requirement as home-improvement contracting — so confirm current licensing and insurance with the company and the state directly.
