WAM General Contractors & Co

WAM General Contractors & Co is a family-run excavation and underground utility outfit based in Beverly, on the North Shore — the kind of crew called in when a job means opening up the street, not just working inside a house. The company says it's been in business since 1978, doing underground utility and excavation work (plus seasonal snow and ice removal) across the North Shore. The most detailed account on file, a 2023 Google review, describes a full water-main replacement with WAM pulling the street-opening permit and coordinating the police detail themselves — logistics as much as labor — and calling the company honest and hard-working. On Nextdoor in mid-2025, one neighbor said they'd used WAM on multiple jobs and recommended calling Bill directly; another, around the same time, said little beyond being impressed by the company's website. Worth knowing: a 2014 post described repeated unanswered calls to both a personal and company voicemail, though nothing similar shows up in the more recent record. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. With Google showing only a handful of ratings, it's worth confirming current availability and the scope of the job directly before booking.
