M. DiStasio Excavation Contractors

M. DiStasio Excavation Contractors is a Massachusetts excavation outfit that describes itself as doing residential, commercial and municipal excavation, utility work, sitework and drainage — including home foundation dig-outs. The site names Michael DiStasio as the principal contact and gives Tewksbury as a service location; the corpus record places the business at an Andover address, and news coverage from 2021 described it as being of North Reading. There is no customer review record on file at all — no ratings, no review bodies, no directory profile — so nothing here speaks to how the company treats homeowners, what it charges, or how it schedules. What the public record does contain is a fatality. In May 2021, two Boston outlets reported that a company employee was killed at a home construction site in Newton when a concrete wall collapsed on him while he was working in the foundation. The company said at the time that it was cooperating fully with the investigation. That is the only third-party account of this business on file, it is five years old, and it is not a judgment about workmanship — but if you are hiring an excavator for foundation or trench work, site-safety practice is a fair thing to ask about directly. If you approach them, ask for their current insurance certificate and workers' compensation coverage, ask who supervises the dig, and ask for recent residential references — the record here gives you nothing else to go on.
