## The honest read

Joseph A. Cappello Well Drilling is a small, family-run water well drilling company in Wellfleet that's been in business since 1980. Frank Cappello is listed as the current owner, and the Better Business Bureau lists a DEP Office of Water Resources registration (#271) for the company, though that registration hasn't been verified against the state's own registry.

Written feedback is scarce — just two reviews on file. In 2022, one longtime customer credited "Frank and Joe" with more than 50 years of capable, friendly, responsive help and recommended them without hesitation. In 2023, a different reviewer said a call to the company was never returned.

With so little written record either way, it's worth calling directly and asking for references from a recent well job before committing.

**Strengths:**
- Decades of trust — a 2022 review credits Frank and Joe with 50-plus years of help

**Concerns:**
- Unreturned call — a 2023 review said a call was never returned
