Lawless Restoration & Waterproofing

Lawless Restoration & Waterproofing is a Peabody, MA firm focused on commercial building work — parking garage restoration, building envelope repair, waterproofing, and facade cleaning — for property management companies, ownership groups, general contractors, and developers rather than typical homeowner jobs. The company says it was founded in 2021 by Mike Smyth and Steve Dowdy, who bring more than 60 years of combined industry experience between them. The written record is very thin: a single review on file, from 2024, in which a property manager overseeing 40 properties in the Boston area credited the company with strong work, fair rates, and a fast turnaround, and said they'd keep calling them back. Its Better Business Bureau profile carries an A+ letter grade, though the company is not a BBB Accredited Business and the profile shows no logged complaints or customer reviews of its own. Given how little written feedback exists, it's worth asking for recent project references directly, especially for a commercial-scale job like a parking structure or facade restoration.
