Choosing DC 35 Contractors - Competition is Key. DC 35 has signed more than 80 new companies since 1999. Companies in each of our trades - especially painting, glazing, wallcovering, drywall, and sign erection - have come aboard, creating healthy competition in the union sector. GC's in commercial, residential, industrial, and bridge work haven't seen choices like this in decades! Our command of the skilled labor market is growing, too. Our membership is diverse, local, and readily available. Your client will be pleased that union craftsmen and women are on the job.

Whether your project is in a traditional union arena or in western Massachusetts, Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont, contact us for a list of companies that fit the bill.

Direct Hire. Some of our most successful employers are general contractors who have signed our agreements. Particularly in the case of public work in Massachusetts, a competitive edge is available to generals who restrict 'sub-bid' work to themselves. Performing that work is accomplished by obtaining "lead people" who can run work for you, and perform work as well. The availability of "lead people" with significant experience in drywall, glazing, or painting is one of our most important advantages.
