R A Franchi Corporation

R.A. Franchi Corp. is a Newton excavation and foundation contractor — the kind of outfit you call to get land cleared, forms built, and concrete poured before anything else on a job can happen. It says on its own site that it has been doing this across Massachusetts for nearly 40 years, and the Better Business Bureau, which lists the company at 45 years in business, backs that up with an A+ accredited rating. State business records name Robert Franchi as the contact behind the corporation. Independent reviews are thin. Google shows a 4-star average, but from just four ratings — not enough to draw much of a conclusion from — and its Houzz profile, which categorizes it as a general contractor for masonry and remodeling work, has no reviews at all yet. What holds up across a scatter of business directories is the basics: the same Newton address and phone number, and a company still listed as active. There is no written review or public complaint to point to a specific concern, so the practical question is fit: the company's own description is squarely excavation, concrete, and foundation work, while Houzz files it under broader remodeling categories. Worth confirming directly that foundation and excavation work is still the core of what they take on, since the review volume online is too small to lean on. For a straightforward excavation, concrete, or foundation-repair job in the Newton area, the BBB accreditation and multi-decade history are real points in its favor — just ask for a couple of recent references before booking, since the public review trail doesn't offer much on its own.
