The Edwards Group, LLC

The Edwards Group LLC works out of 57 River Street in Mattapan and describes itself as a general contracting and property development firm: site preparation, excavation and hauling, utility and foundation work, septic installation, interior and exterior remodeling, commercial snow removal and trucking, alongside a real estate arm. It says it has been doing this in Massachusetts since 2006. The firmest thing on record is its licensing. Massachusetts registry records show an active Home Improvement Contractor registration, #213243, held by The Edwards Group LLC at that same Mattapan address — the registration a homeowner should expect before hiring for residential remodeling work. BuildZoom lists the same number and names Cynthia Edwards as the owner. The company also states on its own site that it holds MBE, DBE and SBLE certifications, and the City of Boston's Equity in City Contracts listing includes it among certified businesses under Snow Removal & Landscaping. What is missing is customer feedback. BuildZoom's profile says plainly that it has received no reviews for the company, and its BBB file carries no customer reviews and no complaints — BBB says it lacks sufficient information even to issue a rating. There is nothing here from people who have actually hired them, so no read on workmanship, scheduling or follow-through is possible. The two records also disagree about how long the company has been trading: the site says since 2006, while the BBB file records a business start date of 1/1/2022 and one employee. BBB additionally files the business under Real Estate rather than construction. This is a licensed, city-certified Mattapan contractor with a clear public credential and no public track record behind it. Worth a conversation if you want a licensed local firm for site work, excavation or a remodel — and worth asking directly for recent local references, the years the company has actually been operating, and which of its lines (contracting or brokerage) would handle your project.
