North Lawrence Contracting, LLC

Abatement is the through-line here: asbestos, lead, mold and vermiculite removal, with demolition, roofing, siding and flooring alongside it. North Lawrence Contracting works out of Lawrence and says its customers are property owners, government agencies, schools and universities — an institutional client list as much as a residential one. Credentials are the firmest part of its story. Its Minority Business Enterprise certification is active in the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office registry, good through March 2028, and the company also claims DBE, SDB and HUBZone status along with minority ownership. BuildZoom lists two Massachusetts licences under its name — a home improvement contractor registration and an asbestos contractor licence — but those are the directory's own entries, not numbers confirmed against the state registry. What you can't read for yourself is what homeowners think. Its BuildZoom profile sits unclaimed with no customer reviews posted, and the permitted work shown there is two 2024 commercial jobs: a $149,900 roof replacement in Boxborough and a minor repair in Westborough. The one outside word on the company comes from the public-bid side, where a Wellesley housing document notes that reference checks on it came back positive. So this is a firm to call for hazardous-material work — an asbestos, lead or mold job, particularly one attached to a public or institutional project — rather than one with a readable residential track record. Before booking, confirm both licence numbers directly with the state, ask for references on jobs like yours, and pin down which Union Street address is current: BuildZoom shows 15 Union St., Ste. G2B, not the Suite G28 listed here.
