Registration and licensing
Look up the contractor's Home Improvement Contractor registration on Mass.gov. For structural work, such as foundations, Massachusetts may require a licensed construction supervisor.
Dig Safe
Dig Safe says no digging project is too small to notify them first. It is free, and member utilities mark their lines. Ask who places the ticket.
