Alpha Weatherproofing Corporation

Alpha Weatherproofing Corporation is a Quincy-based building-envelope specialist that says it has spent the last 45 years fixing the parts of a building most homeowners never think about — facades, parking garages, concrete and masonry, and the roofing and waterproofing systems that hold it all together. The company says it has served engineers, architects, and property managers across Greater Boston and New England since 1981, with Paul Capobianco now running things and Jim Saulnier, who led it for decades, staying on as a consultant. For a firm with that much claimed history, its public trail is short and not especially reassuring. The Better Business Bureau has never accredited it and currently grades it B-, specifically because it failed to respond to a complaint filed against it. Google shows only 2 ratings, averaging 3 stars, and independent review volume everywhere else is essentially nonexistent — not the pattern you'd expect from an outfit with four decades of institutional clients behind it. On the work itself, there's at least one concrete data point: a completed parking-garage restoration for a condominium association in Quincy, documented in a construction-industry project directory. A separate industry directory also attributes a Massachusetts roofing contractor license (RH32983) to the company, though that's a directory record rather than a confirmed state registry match, so it's worth asking about directly. One more thing to sort out before signing anything: the company's own listings put its office in Quincy, while its Rhode Island corporate filing lists a Somerville address for the same entity — same phone number, same leadership, different city. This reads like a real, long-running commercial restoration contractor rather than a shell, but the public record here is too thin and too mixed to vouch for the day-to-day experience of hiring them. Anyone considering them for facade, concrete, or parking-garage work should ask for direct references, confirm the license number against the state board, and nail down which address is current.
