Sublime Construction Corporation, a Lynn, MA general contractor led by Josue Torres (called Joshua in earlier reviews), holds a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license verified active by the state registry and describes itself as a minority-owned (MBE certified, NMSDC-validated) construction and landscaping firm founded in 2011.
The company's Better Business Bureau profile carries an A+ rating. Its written reviews run mostly from 2013 to 2015: customers describe Joshua responding within minutes of a request, showing up the next day, and completing jobs quickly and for a fair price — including two sod installations praised as quick, well done, and reasonably priced in 2015. Others that year described him as very hands-on, honest, and willing to return to check on the finished work. A fellow general contractor who hired the company in 2015 for brick repair, concrete work, stairs, retaining walls, and foundation repair called the finished product exactly what he wanted. More recently, a 2023 Google review said Josue and the team were a pleasure to work with.
The written review history is concentrated in 2013–2015, with only that single 2023 mention since. BuildZoom separately reports sampling 13 building permits pulled between 2019 and 2024 across Beverly, Methuen, Danvers, Malden, Newbury, Rowley and Peabody — decks, framing, retaining walls, roofing, siding, and kitchen and bathroom remodels, valued from about $6,000 to $105,400.
For general contracting, landscaping, or masonry-type work — retaining walls, foundation repair, sod and hardscape — the earlier reviews and the verified state license describe a company that communicates quickly and stands behind its work; given how much of the written record predates 2016, it's worth asking for references from more recent jobs before hiring.
