Last 6 months: 2 reviews, 1 negative. ## The honest read 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. **Strengths:** - Walkway shoveling help — a 2023 reviewer said an employee helped shovel it out **Concerns:** - MassDEP consent order — $15,000 penalty over oil spill cleanup regulations - Early starts — a 2023 reviewer described a 5:15 am start - Slow street repave — a 2025 reviewer said one street took almost a month ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Self-reported 45 years in business _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://pjalbert.com) — “Self-reported 45 years in business” - Describes its main workload as complete road reconstruction, including asphalt reclamation, cold planing, excavation, catch basins, curbing and sidewalks _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](https://pjalbert.com) — “About (self-reported, verbatim): P.J.
