When road salt ruined a family's well, Prime Construction got them onto city water — the permits, the tree work that had to happen first, and the connection itself. The customer wrote that up in May 2025, and it is the shape of most of the jobs Nick Buffone and Mike Viola take: the part of a property nobody thinks about until it goes wrong. Prime Construction Company works out of Franklin doing excavation, site prep, drainage, water and sewer connections, retaining walls, camera inspections and snow removal, across a ring of towns from Hopkinton and Milford down to Attleboro and Middleboro. The site says its two founders have more than 20 years of combined experience, and customers name the rest of the crew too — Stevie on a retaining wall, Luke driving on a soil removal. Drainage is what most people came for. A condo association wrote in May 2025 that its stormwater system had defeated other contractors before Nick and Mike sat down with them and worked through what would and would not help. A June 2025 customer had the yard prepared for a patio and a French drain put in at the same time. An Angi customer in May 2024 said they went through the options for the best-value drainage system, started on time and stayed on schedule; another that May had a long-running erosion problem solved with a backyard drainage system. The digging is just as concrete. In July 2024 a customer had 35 yards of soil taken out of his back yard and the ground brought to the grade he wanted. That June another had a Nicolock retaining wall built. In April 2025 a customer had a new driveway in two days. And in July 2024 a homeowner who had failed at setting his own pool on unlevel ground said Mike came out, made a plan that fit a tight budget, and he never bothered getting a second quote. The Better Business Bureau grades the company A. Angi, HomeAdvisor and Thumbtack all show 5.0 averages and Google 4.7, and a few accounts turn up on two platforms in identical wording. Everything written is from 2024 and 2025. For a drain, a driveway, a retaining wall or getting a utility into the ground, this is a two-owner outfit whose customers describe them arriving when they said and grading to the line. Ask which parts they subcontract — the tree work on that well job went to someone else — and put the permit responsibility in writing.
Prime Construction did amazing work in our yard preparing it for a patio. They also installed a French drain. They are easy to work with and very thorough. Highly recommend!
Prime did a great job. Everything was on time and professionally done!
We had a complicated situation with the stormwater drainage system at our mid-sized condo that other contractors had been unable to resolve. From our first consult with Nick and Mike, they listened carefully and patiently, made recommendations about how best to proceed (and what not to waste time/money on), and gave us a detailed and reasonable proposal. After that they dug in, both literally and figuratively, and figured it out. Showed up every day when they said they would and were meticulous about every aspect of the work, from planning to cleanup. As a condo we meet and hire a lot of contractors, and rarely do we see their level of professionalism, expertise, and dedication to solve the problem and not only go through the motions. And they're just great guys to work with. I'd hire them again in a minute, and would highly recommend them. I think they'll treat your project as if it were their own home.
Prime Construction was excellent to work with. From the beginning stages to the finished product, they exceeded all expectations. They are well priced, and stick to a strict timeline to complete the project. They communicated well during the entire process when changes needed to be made. I would recommend Prime Construction to others looking for work. There is no question in the future I will hire Prime to do additional work as projects come up. These guys care about their work and the relationships they have with their customers. Very refreshing experience. Thank you for the great work, keep it up!
Prime Construction Company took what was a stressful situation and made it easy for our family. After road salting ruined our well, we turned to Prime to get us connected to the city's water. They handled all permitting and contracted-out support when needed for tree services and plumbing. We were on city water on schedule, despite some unexpected boulders blocking the way. Now, the yard is on its way to looking better than ever as the grass they planted is sprouting. The team took considerable time addressing our questions and concerns and was incredibly kind to our young, excited children. We highly recommend their services!
