McLaughlin Excavation's website describes it as an excavation company working in Southern New Hampshire and the Lakes Region for residential and commercial clients, and the company says it has been in business for 20 years. A 2026 customer said McLaughlin's was hired to protect the stone foundation of their Tilton house, which was built into a hill, and the job ended with a new retaining wall. That 2026 customer also said the work was completed on schedule. A 2024 customer said the company did all the excavation for a new patio, walkway and stairs, then leveled and put loam down on the whole yard. In that 2024 review, the customer said the cleanup left no dirt and rock on the surfaces in the yard. A 2024 reviewer wrote that a gas line had to be replaced during patio prep, and Sean dug the trench and filled it back in to the specs of the gas company. A 2023 customer said Sean saved on the cost of a patio prep and regrade by using their existing material and only bringing in what was needed. A 2025 customer said Sean got a stump pulling and hole filling job done on a Sunday.
We hired McLaughlin's to help us protect the stone foundation of our house in Tilton that was built into a hill. Sean was amazing helping us come up with the most affordable solution that also left us with a better and more beautiful backyard! Our new retaining wall is just perfect. They came when promised, completed the work on schedule, kept us informed throughout the project and they were sensitive to the neighbors concerns too. We couldn't be happier! If only every contractor provided such a great product and service at a reasonable price! I've already connected Sean to request a quote for another property.
Couldn’t be happier with Mclaughlin Excavating!!? they were right on time, courteous and easy to work with! Their pricing was fair and their customer service went above and beyond! It’s rare to find a company that dependable these days- highly recommend!!! Shawn’s the owner , real nice guy !
Sean from McLaughlin Excavation was super prompt, friendly, and even made a point to get my job (stump pulling & hole compaction/filling) done on a Sunday despite him probably having other weekend / family plans. He showed up as expected & followed up with me ensuring not to forget about my outreach to him. If I had to restart the search process for a company to complete the work I needed done, I would choose McLaughlin Excavation again. :) Thank you, Sean ~ I hope you & your family have a great summer!
Sean and his team were amazing, would highly recommend, and would certainly hire again.
The whole crew went over and beyond on thus job. Would definitely use them again and recommend them to anyone needing excavation and site work
