Verified record
New England Waterproofing, branded Live Dry, is a Natick-based waterproofing and building-envelope contractor, in business since 2005 per its Better Business Bureau file (though BBB lists it as Not Rated and not an accredited business, with owner Peter Gormley as contact). Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor license is registry-verified active. The company describes its work as air and vapor barriers, weather barriers, flooring systems, caulking and sealants, deck coatings, and expansion joints, referring concrete repair to an affiliate, CrackX, and it lists trade affiliations including the National Association of Home Builders, the Associated Subcontractors of Massachusetts, and the International Concrete Repair Institute — associations that skew toward commercial and institutional construction work. The written record is thin: two reviews on file, three years apart. A 2024 reviewer called the job professional, on time, and great, with no further detail. A 2021 reviewer left a one-star rating with a brief, unexplained comment — "too hot inside" — that doesn't describe the work itself. There isn't enough here to say much more, so it's worth asking directly for recent, specific project references, particularly for residential work given the company's evident focus on commercial and institutional trade relationships.
