Merrimack Environmental Solution Corp.

Merrimack Environmental Solution Corp. works out of 599 Canal Street in Lawrence, and it does one thing: abatement. Its BBB file lists it under asbestos removal, and its BuildZoom profile narrows to the same lane — a services picker reading "Mold, Lead, and Asbestos" and other environmental work. This is the crew for a house where a renovation or a demolition turns up something that has to be contained and hauled out under the rules, not a remodeling contractor. The strongest documented thing about the company is its certification stack. The Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office shows active Minority Business Enterprise and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certifications, and the U.S. Small Business Administration shows an active 8(a) Business Development certification running to September 2029 — credentials that matter most on publicly funded jobs. The company also appears on a Maine state vendor listing at its Lawrence address, and a government bid directory describes the ownership as Hispanic American and a self-certified small disadvantaged business. What there isn't, anywhere, is a homeowner's account of the work. BBB opened the file in November 2022, names Manuel Colon as owner and shows one employee, but marks the company "Not Rated" for lack of sufficient information, with no reviews or complaints published; BuildZoom shows no reviews and no permits either. That's why no rating appears here — there is nothing from past customers to weigh. BuildZoom does list a Massachusetts Asbestos Contractor licence (#AC000890) and a Home Improvement Contractor registration (#215225) as active. Those are the directory's own listings rather than anything confirmed against the state registers, and asbestos work is exactly the kind where the licence is the whole point — ask to see the current certificate yourself. A reasonable call for an abatement job if you're willing to do your own diligence: request recent job references, proof of current asbestos-contractor licensure and insurance, and a written scope covering containment, air monitoring, and licensed disposal before any work starts.
