B & B Excavation

B & B Excavation is a family-owned excavation and septic system contractor based in Sandwich, MA, founded in 1998 by Bob and Becky Gilfoy, who still run it today with their grown children. The company specializes in Title V septic design, installation, inspection and pumping, along with sewer and water line work, site development, demolition, land clearing, bobcat work, and Cape Cod mulch and loam delivery. Homeowners across the Cape describe hiring the crew for septic pumping, tank replacements, a town sewer connection and tank abandonment, and a full water main replacement, with reviews naming the same staff -- a crew member named Ricky, and office staff Meghan and Marci -- across years from 2021 through 2026. One reviewer described a thorough pump-out where the crew hosed and washed the tank rather than just emptying it; another said a full septic system replacement was completed in one day with loam and seed laid the next. A 2023 reviewer, himself a building contractor, said it was "always nice to work with a professional," and another described the office coordinating directly with the town and a closing attorney to finish a septic repair before a home sale closed. Two reviews -- one from May 2024 and one from August 2025 -- describe the same specific problem: the crew punctured an irrigation line while pumping a septic tank, and in both cases the company did not offer to repair the damage or apologize, with one reviewer told the company wasn't responsible for private lines on the property. That's worth asking about directly before booking work anywhere near buried irrigation lines -- specifically who covers incidental damage and whether that's discussed up front. For Title V septic work, sewer or water line repairs, or excavation and demolition on Cape Cod, B & B has a long, specific track record of praise from repeat customers, including one who called them a customer "as long as I own this house." The one recurring theme worth confirming before hiring is how they handle accidental damage to buried lines during a dig.
