Licensed Asbestos Abatement Companies in Massachusetts

Massachusetts licenses asbestos contractors, consultants, and labs through the Department of Labor Standards (DLS), with some of the strictest asbestos rules in the country. The Commonwealth’s triple-deckers, brownstones, and industrial buildings — among the oldest building stock in the US — mean asbestos surveys are required before most renovation and demolition work. All 305 firms below hold a current DLS license, verified against the state register.

All 305 firms verified against the official Massachusetts DLS register as of July 2026.

• Verify the license. Every firm on this page is verified against the Massachusetts DLS register, and each listing shows the license number so you can check it yourself.
• Match the license to the job. Use an abatement contractor for removal or repair, and an independent testing & inspection firm for surveys, sampling, and clearance air testing.
• Get at least three written quotes. A proper quote details the scope of work, containment method, waste disposal, and final clearance testing.
• Ask about insurance. Licensed firms should carry general liability and, for abatement, pollution liability coverage. Request certificates before work starts.
