# Brundage Site Work

**Trade:** Demolition & Excavation · **Address:** 400 Massasoit Rd, Eastham, MA 02642 · **Phone:** (774) 801-2692 · **Website:** http://www.brundagesitework.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 2.2/5** (medium confidence) — from 7 reviews across 7 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.
71% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 1 reviews, 1 negative.

## The honest read

Brundage Site Work is an Eastham excavation and site contractor that the Outer Cape calls for the jobs under the ground: Title V and Innovative/Alternative septic systems, town water and sewer connections, foundations, concrete and site prep. The company says it is locally owned and operated by Corey Brundage, who according to its own history began landscaping in high school in 2005 and built the firm into a full team by 2014, and it describes itself as licensed, insured and Title V certified.

The work it is known for is genuinely specialised. In December 2020 the Provincetown Independent reported that Brundage was installing the Outer Cape's first layered 'layer cake' leach field, designed by J.C. Ellis Design for a multi-unit property on Route 6 in Eastham, and a septic technology supplier lists the company as the system installer on a Great Pond project in Eastham. It also turns up in public records as an approved utility contractor for Orleans and in Provincetown's sewer department listings, and in 2019 it helped rebuild the ramps at Orleans' Finch Skate Park. Corey Brundage was nominated for a Cape Cod small business award.

Customers who got their job done describe careful, persistent work. A January 2026 reviewer had a troublesome Seashore driveway hardened and a Wellfleet town water hookup done, calling the crew reliable, prompt and smart on both; a 2023 customer connecting a parents' summer home in Eastham to town water described the crew fighting a massive clay seam that kept clogging the boring mole, digging by hand to clear it, then backfilling and reseeding the lawn. A 2022 reviewer needing an emergency town water connection cited quick turnaround, constant communication and a good price.

The other side of the record is recent and serious, and should be settled before any money changes hands. In a May 2026 review a customer said they paid a deposit of more than $18,000 in October 2024 for a septic installation, were told in April 2025 the work could not happen until September, asked for the deposit back, and were repeatedly told a cheque had been sent - to them and to their attorney - without one arriving. A separate April 2025 reviewer said the company came out to look at a retaining wall, promised a quote, and never answered the follow-up calls. The Better Business Bureau grades the business B-, citing failure to respond to a complaint filed against it.

There is also a paperwork question. The Massachusetts registry shows the company's home improvement contractor registration, number 210430, as expired, while the company's own site describes it as licensed and insured.

If you are hiring for septic or town water work on the Outer Cape, Brundage has the specialist experience and public-record standing to do it. Before signing, confirm the current registration status with the state directly, get the schedule in the contract, and agree in writing what happens to a deposit if the dates move.

**Strengths:**
- Alternative septic — installed the Outer Cape's first layered leach field
- Town water hookups — reviewers describe hard digs finished properly
- Public listings — named a utility contractor by Orleans and Provincetown
- Site restoration — customers report lawns backfilled and reseeded

**Concerns:**
- Deposit refund — a reviewer reported over $18,000 not returned
- Quote follow-up — a reviewer said repeated calls went unanswered
- Registration status — the state home improvement registration is expired
- BBB grade — B- for failing to respond to a complaint

**Where sources disagree:**
- The company's website describes it as licensed and insured while the Massachusetts registry shows home improvement contractor registration 210430 as expired.
- Founding dates differ: the website says the business has run since 2009 and became full-scale in 2014, while the Better Business Bureau records the corporation as started and incorporated on 12 December 2016.
- The Google star headline of 4.2 from 13 ratings sits against a written record in which the two most recent negative reviews describe an unreturned deposit and an unanswered quote.
