NG Environmental Contractors

Lawrence-based NG Environmental Contractors works the jobs most builders subcontract out: pulling asbestos, lead paint, mold and hazardous waste out of buildings, then cutting the contaminated structure away — selective demolition, tank and boiler removal, abrasive blasting, concrete cutting, on residential, commercial and public sites. The company's site brands it "Since 2005" and puts 21 years behind it. Its BBB page agrees on the 2005 start date, lists Mr. Nolberto Galicia as owner, and counts four employees. The credential is the part that checks out independently. The Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office registry lists a Minority Business Enterprise certification, number 20050245, active through June 2028 — the state's own record, not a directory's copy of it. The company separately describes itself as minority-owned, a HUD Section 3 business, and as meeting the Boston Residency Job Program requirements; those are its own claims. A 2023 Massachusetts legislature document for anti-ligature upgrades at Lemuel Shattuck Hospital names the company among the businesses on that project. What customers have written is thin and dated. Google shows 4 stars from four ratings, and exactly one written review exists: a 5-star line from August 2017 calling them the best demo and abatement company. The BBB file carries an A+ with no complaints recorded, though the bureau oddly categorizes the company under "Laboratory Research". One thing to raise before signing. A federal violation-tracking database lists a workplace safety penalty of $7,854 against NG Environmental Contractors, LLC, from an OSHA action dated August 2013. That is thirteen years back, but abatement is precisely the trade where site-safety practice is the product, so ask how crews are trained and supervised today. This is a specialist, not a general remodeler — the right call for an abatement or selective-demolition scope, and a natural fit on public work where MBE certification counts toward a contract. Before booking, ask for current asbestos and lead licensing covering the specific crew, recent project references, and proof of insurance. The written history online is too old and too sparse to do that checking for you.
