The Vaughan Co., Inc

The Vaughan Co. has worked out of Quincy since 2001 — twenty-five years, by the Better Business Bureau's count — and the work it leads with on its own site is commercial: restaurant and office renovation, construction management, project management and facilities maintenance. Richard Vaughan is named as the owner on the company's Better Business Bureau page, which grades it A+ and notes it is not BBB accredited. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #177681, is active. If your project is a house rather than a restaurant or an office suite, start by asking whether they take residential jobs and what a recent one looked like. Then the usual: a written scope with a payment schedule, proof of liability insurance, and references for work like yours.
