RB Strong

R.B. Strong is an excavating and sewerage contractor working out of 122 Western Ave in Gloucester, on Massachusetts's North Shore. The company's own site describes its work as excavation and sewer services for Essex County and beyond, and a 1972 date shows up in at least one business directory, with a 2015 local history piece tracing the Strong family's roots in the trade back further still. The catch is how little third-party feedback exists to test any of that against: Google shows a single 5-star rating, nowhere near enough to call a pattern one way or the other. BBB carries a profile for the business — 23 years in business, owner Ronald Strong listed — but it isn't accredited, and BBB says it doesn't have enough information to assign a rating. BuildZoom lists owner Ronald B Strong holding a Construction Supervisor / Home Improvement Contractor license (CS-028390, 190025) as active by its own check, but that's BuildZoom's self-reported status, not an independently verified registry lookup — worth confirming directly before hiring. A business-registration lookup separately shows an active Massachusetts Secretary of State filing under a matching name. For septic and excavation work in the Gloucester area, a business with this much history on paper is worth a call — just go in knowing there isn't much of an online track record to lean on yet, and confirm the license status yourself rather than taking any directory's word for it.
