Front Line

Front Line runs out of 58 Mellen St in Hopedale, and very little has been written about it publicly — a 4.5-star Google average built from eight ratings, and one review on file, posted back in 2023. That 2023 reviewer described the operation as professional, neat and organized, and the people as friendly. Rhode Island's business registry lists Nancy Salter as president at the same Hopedale address. The thing to raise before booking is a federal enforcement entry: Violation Tracker publishes a $10,000 Occupational Safety and Health Administration penalty against Front Line Inc., dated June 28, 2019, for a workplace safety or health violation. It is seven years old and it concerns the job site rather than a customer's house — but it is a fair question to put to them, along with how crews are trained and supervised now. With a written history this short, treat Front Line as a call-and-ask rather than a book-on-reputation. Ask for two or three recent references for work like yours, and get the scope, the price and proof of insurance in writing before anyone starts.
