Diverse-Owned Contractors and Trades in Worcester (2026)
Updated September 8, 2026 5 min readLocal Guide

On this page (9 sections)
Two electrical contractors at different scales, a roofer working year round across New England, a deck builder, a glass company, a fence company that sends an estimator first, a demolition and abatement firm, a restoration company for after the water comes in, and a nursery with a landscape architect down the road. Worcester County is the one metro in this directory deep enough in the trades to need its own guide, and this is it.
Every business named here links to its profile, where each ownership tag shows the source it came from. For everything in the metro, filter the Worcester hub.

- Glass: Advanced Glass And Mirror in Westminster.
- Demolition and remediation: Fisher Contracting Corporation.
- After a flood or a fire: Puroclean Certified Restoration Services in Auburn.
- Outside: Echobrook Nursery and Earthdesign Landscape Architecture.
- The Worcester hub carries all 116 listings across 15 categories.
Wiring, roofing and the shell of the building
Coghlin Electrical Contractors is the commercial and industrial electrical contractor in the city; Steven Price Electrician is the one to call for a house. Altitude Roofing repairs, replaces and maintains roofs for homes and businesses across Worcester and New England, and does it year round, which in Central Massachusetts is a claim worth making. Home Exterior Specialists takes the rest of the outside and says plainly that a house deserves better than a temporary fix.
Advanced Glass And Mirror is a small, woman-owned glass company in Westminster. Deck Dynasty builds decks and porches for Worcester County and Central Massachusetts out of West Boylston, and Miller Fence Company will show you what the project looks like before you commit.
Heavy work, and the work after something goes wrong
Fisher Contracting Corporation has provided demolition, dismantling, interior renovation, abatement, site remediation and asset recovery, which is the list a general contractor needs when a building is coming apart rather than going up. Puroclean Certified Restoration Services in Auburn restores after water, fire and mold. Bio-One Worcester in Shrewsbury handles biohazard, crime scene and trauma cleanup, a service most people never think about until the day they need it.
For the drawings, Acropolis Design Consultants does architectural work for residential and commercial projects, and Earthdesign Landscape Architecture designs what happens outside the building. Echobrook Nursery is the full-service nursery that supplies it, serving the county and beyond. Inside, Cristina Depina Interior Design is a boutique kitchen and bath studio.
Cleaning, pests and keeping a building running
Cleaning here divides by contract rather than by size. Accu-Clean Incorporated is a full-service janitorial company, Capital Cleaning works on workplaces, Green Kleaning Services covers homes and commercial premises, and Tms Cleaning Services and Divas Cleaning do residential and deep cleans.
Ransford Pest Control and Ransford Environmental Solutions, both in Shrewsbury, handle infestations, and their own copy makes the point that homeowner's insurance rarely covers the damage. B2b Holdings in Uxbridge procures office furniture, ID badge materials and janitorial supplies, and Workplace Resource is the office furniture dealer for Central Massachusetts.
Moving, hauling and the road
Jtr Enterprises moves studio apartments through to corporate offices with no hidden fees. Franco Logistics Services provides dispatch for new carriers, single-truck operators and small fleets, with bilingual support. W.J. Hoey Tire Co. has been an independent tire dealer serving Worcester County for decades, and Jc Auto Center services what it puts tires on.
How to use this list if you are the one buying
Every listing on this page shows its ownership tag and the source behind it, which for Worcester is the City of Worcester's own Diverse Business Directory. That directory is a self-declaration and not a certification, in the city's own words, so if you are working to a supplier diversity requirement that demands certified status, treat these as leads to verify rather than as proof. If you are a homeowner choosing a roofer, that distinction does not matter and the list is simply a list of local trades.
What the record does not cover yet
The trades side of the Worcester record runs to roughly 40 listings across construction, home services, supply and the professional firms that support them. What it does not have yet is a plumber, an HVAC contractor, a mason, a paving contractor or a general contractor taking whole-house renovations. Those are gaps in the record rather than in the county.
Geographically, most of these firms are in Worcester, Shrewsbury, Auburn, Westminster, West Boylston and Uxbridge. Fitchburg, Leominster, Gardner and the Blackstone Valley towns have none listed yet. If you run a trade business in one of them, a free listing puts you in front of people already searching, and you would be first in your town.
Common mistakes
- Treating the tag as a certification. Worcester's directory is a self-declaration. Ask for the paperwork if your project needs certified participation.
- Calling a janitorial company for a house clean. Several of these work only on commercial contracts, and the listings say which.
- Assuming everyone travels. Some of these firms cover all of New England and some work a few towns. Check the listing before you call.
- Waiting until the emergency. Restoration and biohazard companies are worth noting before you need one, because you will not be shopping around on the day.
