Joseph Botti Co Inc

Joseph Botti Co. is a South Easton site-work outfit — the crew that comes before the house goes up, or after something under the ground fails. Its own site lists underground utilities, drainage, excavation, septic systems, asphalt paving and masonry for commercial, contractor and residential customers, and describes a third-generation family business running since 1920 under president and owner Donna L. Warren. The BBB tells the age story differently: a 1984 start, 42 years in business, 30 employees. Two things here are verified rather than claimed, and they point opposite ways. The company's Women Business Enterprise certification with the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office is active in the state registry, though it runs out on August 22, 2026 — worth confirming if that status matters to your project. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 104936, shows as expired in the state registry. HIC registration is the one that covers residential home improvement work specifically, so raise it directly before hiring them for anything at a house. Customer writing is scarce. A May 2022 Google reviewer left two words — friendly and respectful — and the Google average sits at 4.1 across 7 ratings. On a trade directory, a commercial customer calls the company professional and reliable and credits the crew with answering every question through an underground sewer installation; that entry carries no date, so read it as general background rather than current practice. The company also lists a hoisting license, an OSHA-compliant safety program, a safety director holding the Certified Utility Safety Professional credential, and an ABC-recognized recycling operation for portable crushing. Those are its own statements, not independently confirmed. The BBB grades it A+ without accrediting it, and publishes no reviews, complaints or government actions. For a septic system, a drainage problem, a driveway or a utility trench, this is an established local site contractor with a long history and very little public customer writing to read. Ask for references from recent jobs, get the home improvement registration status in writing if the work is residential, and pin down the scope before the machines arrive.
