Helical Drilling

Helical Drilling works under the building rather than on it: ground improvement, deep foundations and piles, earth retention and underpinning, run out of Braintree. Its own description of the work points at commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects across New England, and the company says it has spent more than 30 years alongside general contracting and engineering teams around the Northeast. Its BBB profile puts the figure at 37 years. The Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #117851, is active on the state registry. BBB grades the company A+, and Google shows 4.5★ across 13 ratings. What people have actually written is mostly about living beside the work rather than buying it. An October 2025 review came from someone near a job that had been running a while: four stars, and a description of the noise — the reviewer wrote that the track sounds gave them flashbacks from their time as a tank driver in the Army. A December 2024 post on Indeed, written from an employee's side rather than a customer's, told readers to stay away from the company. For a homeowner, this is specified work more than shopped work — helical piles, underpinning and earth retention usually arrive through the engineer or general contractor running the project, which is the way the company describes its own jobs. If your foundation problem has reached that stage, ask who the engineer of record is, how long the rig will be on site, and what the noise will be like while it runs — a neighbour's review makes that last one worth settling up front.
