Walsh Construction

Walsh Construction's Norwood address is a Massachusetts regional office of The Walsh Group, which describes itself as a North American construction and construction-management firm, founded in Chicago in 1898 by Matthew Myles Walsh, family-owned into a fourth generation and 128 years in business. A construction-industry trade publication reported in 2017 that the group manages roughly $5 billion of work a year. Procore's construction network lists the Norwood entry under general contracting, developer and specialty-contractor categories. This is a commercial and heavy-civil builder rather than a residential one, and the coverage that reaches it reflects that. A June 2025 post in a Rhode Island community forum notes Walsh Construction Company being selected to rebuild the Washington Bridge. An industry report from August 2014 describes a Walsh Construction crew pulling kayakers out of danger. Two items in that coverage are enforcement matters and should be read carefully. GoLocalProv reported in December 2024 that Walsh Construction Corporation settled charges with federal and state agencies by paying more than $11 million. A trade publication, in an item that carries no date, reports a company of this name and the rebar subcontractor Melo's Rodbusters agreeing to a joint payment. Both name a large national contractor and neither is tied in that reporting to this Norwood office, so what they establish about the Massachusetts operation specifically is unclear. The Google listing for this location shows 3.5 stars from two ratings, which is not much to weigh, and the written material here is news and trade coverage of the national firm rather than accounts from people who hired the local office. For a homeowner this is very likely the wrong size of contractor; for anyone evaluating the company on a commercial project, confirm which Walsh entity the settlements concern and ask the regional office directly about the work it performs in Massachusetts.
