NS Contracting Co., Inc.

NS Contracting Co., Inc. works out of 244 Blue Hill Avenue in Roxbury, and the first thing worth knowing is what nobody has written: there are no customer reviews of this company at all. Its BBB page shows none, and neither does its BuildZoom profile. What does exist is a paper trail. The Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration #174968 is active — confirmed against the state registry, with the company itself as holder of record. Its BBB page is an A+, though the company isn't accredited there and no complaints sit behind the grade. BBB puts the business start date at 1/1/2022 and lists a single employee, which fits the scale of the work that shows up elsewhere: three permitted jobs, in Milton and Attleboro. BuildZoom also lists three older Massachusetts registrations for the company that are no longer live — two further home improvement contractor numbers, #124633 and #159278, and an asbestos contractor licence, #AC000825, all shown as inactive or cancelled. Those entries are BuildZoom's own records rather than anything confirmed with the state. Still, the asbestos one is the question to ask out loud if abatement is anywhere near your job, because an inactive licence is not a licence. Two federal listings round out the picture and neither says anything about the work itself. A U.S. Department of Transportation page names the company, alongside Becky L. Hobbs, under the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program; the entry is undated. Federal carrier records show a USDOT number, 3422608 — a trucking registration, not a measure of craftsmanship. So: a small Roxbury general contractor, registered and permitted, with nobody yet describing what it was like to hire them. That absence isn't a mark against the work — it just means you'll have to do the checking a review section would normally do for you. Ask for addresses and phone numbers from the Milton and Attleboro jobs, confirm registration #174968 yourself through the state's Consumer Affairs site, pin down which of the older licences matter for your scope, and get the whole thing in writing before anyone starts.
