Icarus Construction Services

Lionell Thompson Jr. came to construction by way of the Marine Corps. A 2020 telegram.com article described a Gulf War injury forcing him out of the service and starting him on the path that ended with him running Icarus Construction Services in Worcester. The firm has been an LLC since 8/1/2009 with Thompson as its president, and the company says he brought more than fifteen years of supervisory and project-management experience to it. The work it lists is general construction, design-build and construction management — new buildings, interior fit-outs and building envelope restoration. Its BBB page carries an A+ grade. Seven certifications sit behind the name, all verified active on the registries: the SBA's 8(a) business development program (#70073, expiring 2030-04-29), Veteran-Owned and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned status with the SBA, both expiring 2028-04-30, and four Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office certifications under #20100279 — minority business, disadvantaged business, veteran business and service-disabled veteran business. Three of the state ones expire 2026-11-30 and 2026-12-12, so they are due for renewal. For a project that calls for a certified veteran- and minority-owned builder, Icarus is a straightforward candidate. For a house-scale job, ask which residential work it takes on, get references from projects like yours, and confirm its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration and insurance before signing.
