ESS Contracting Corp

ESS Contracting Corp is a Lawrence, Massachusetts contractor doing business as Environmental Specialty Contractor, and is listed with the Better Business Bureau under Home Builders. Federal contracting records show the company was awarded a Defense Department contract in 2019, and BBB records describe a small operation with about 4 employees that opened in December 2017 after starting business in 2014. The one written review available, from 2018, is negative: a customer described the company as unprofessional, said it did not pay its invoices, and said calls went unreturned. That's balanced against an A+ grade from the Better Business Bureau, though the business isn't BBB-accredited. There are some inconsistencies worth noting: incorporation records list a 2020 start date, while the BBB profile states the business began in 2014, and the BBB profile itself lists a different address and phone number than the ones tied to this listing. Given the 2018 complaint about unpaid invoices and unreturned calls, homeowners should ask directly about current contact information, payment practices, and references before signing a contract. ESS Contracting Corp's federal contracting history and environmental specialty work suggest larger commercial or government projects more than typical residential remodeling, so homeowners should confirm the company still takes on smaller residential jobs before reaching out.
