Faia WM & Sons

Fifty-seven years in one town is the headline here. William Faia & Sons has worked out of 37 Buena Vista St in Swampscott since 1969, incorporated in Massachusetts in 1985, with William J. Faia as president and ten people on the books. The trade mix is broad for a shop that size: masonry, water and sewer work, carpentry, waterproofing and landscaping, for homes and commercial buildings alike. That is the range a homeowner needs when a job crosses trades rather than sitting neatly inside one. There is nothing from customers to weigh. The BBB carries no rating for the company and says why in plain terms — it does not have sufficient information to issue one. That is not a finding against the work; it does mean the long history is the only track record on offer. Worth a call if your job is masonry or site work as much as carpentry. Ask for recent addresses nearby and for references on the specific trade you need, since a masonry crew and a finish carpenter are different skills even under one company name.
