## The honest read

Cape Excavating Service is a Harwich-based excavation contractor working across Mid-to-Lower Cape Cod, from Brewster and Chatham down through Dennis, Eastham, Orleans and Yarmouth. The company's own site describes an owner-operator business, with the person writing the site describing personally running excavation equipment for over 20 years.

The work centers on site excavation and Title V septic system installation, alongside foundation cutting for basement egress windows and bulkhead openings, oil tank removal and installation, and bulkhead door installation. The company also states it offers 24/7 emergency excavation service for storm-related erosion, washouts and embankment issues.

Cape Excavating Service has been registered with the Better Business Bureau since 1994, with a business start date of 1991 — 35 years of operation, per BBB. The BBB profile is not accredited and carries no rating, and shows no customer reviews or complaints on file.

There's no independent review history to draw on here — no Google, BBB, Angi, or HomeAdvisor reviews were found, so there's nothing yet to corroborate the self-reported specialties or length of operation beyond the BBB record. Anyone considering this contractor should ask for references and confirm current licensing and insurance directly, since neither could be verified from what's publicly available.

**Strengths:**
- 35 years in business — BBB lists a 1991 start date
- Broad specialty range — excavation, septic, foundation cutting and tank work

**Concerns:**
- No reviews on record — BBB profile shows none logged
