P.J. Albert, Inc. says it has been in business 45 years. On its website it describes itself as a full service company involved in road construction, parking lots and drainage, with complete road reconstruction as the main source of its workload, work it says involves asphalt reclamation, cold planing, excavation, catch basins, curbing and sidewalks. A mass.gov notice reports that the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP) issued a consent order requiring the Fitchburg-based company to pay a $15,000 penalty for violating state oil spill cleanup regulations after an oil spill. A 2025 reviewer wrote that the company had taken almost a month to repave a single street and sidewalk in Reading, and of being woken every morning at 6:30. A 2023 reviewer described a 5:15 am start in a residential neighborhood in a town that prohibits construction before 7am, and wrote that after the police spoke to them and left, they went right back to work. A 2025 reviewer complained about noise and early starts and wrote that the company left giant messes. A 2023 reviewer wrote that an employee stopped to help shovel out their front walkway.

To the handsome man on the back of the paver 😉 god bless you 🥵
Blew through a yield and forced me to slam my brakes on to avoid an accident.
It is taking this company forever (almost a month now) just to repave a single street and side walk in Reading. Meanwhile they wake you up every morning at 6:30 followed by an entire day of noise and beeps. The noise I can understand, but taking this long for ONE SINGLE STREET???? They obviously don't know what they're doing.
Apparently this company has no clue what noise observances are in towns….truly wish another company would take over paving…they leave giant messes…can barely operate the equipment and start before the sun comes up…cutting corners like they do will come back on them…always does
Slammed on my brakes to avoid being T-boned this morning by a PJ Albert rig/trailer vehicle on rt13 who blew through a red light. NOT the first time I've seen them run a red, but first time reporting. If their rig drivers don't care about basic driving safety, what else does this company miss?! It's a risk for any business, city or town to hire them.
