R A Franchi Corporation

R A Franchi Corporation does the part of a build nobody sees: the digging, the forms, the concrete everything else sits on. It works out of Newton, and the company says it has served Massachusetts for nearly 40 years as an excavating contractor; its Better Business Bureau profile puts the business at 45 years and carries an A+ grade with BBB accreditation. What it describes doing is site and foundation work — excavation, concrete, foundations and formwork. A Houzz profile also lists the company as a Newton general contractor handling concrete, masonry and remodeling. On Google it averages 4 stars across four ratings. For a homeowner facing a new foundation, an addition or site work ahead of a build, this is a long-running Newton contractor to get on the list. Ask how ledge and unexpected soil conditions are priced, what the dig includes, and get the excavation and concrete scope in writing before the machines show up.
