Pastore Excavation

Pastore Excavation is a Cape Cod site-work and excavation contractor based in Sandwich, MA, owner-operated by Nicholas Pastore, who founded the company after graduating the Massachusetts Maritime Academy. The business markets itself as handling everything from site development and general excavation to grading, Title V septic system installation, drainage, erosion control, stump removal and grinding, and beach nourishment, working with homeowners, builders, developers and municipalities across the Cape. The one retrievable customer review, from 2022, describes a water line repair completed within 24 hours of the initial call, with the crew leaving the site as clean as they found it — consistent with Google's 5-star average from 6 ratings, though only that single review body could be retrieved. The company also carries an A+ grade on the Better Business Bureau, even though it has not sought BBB Accreditation, and BBB records place its start date at January 1992, giving it roughly 34 years in operation — longer than the company's own site claims ('since 1999', '25 years'). Procore's contractor network separately confirms the business as a claimed General Contractor specializing in demolition and earthwork, with 10 tracked projects. Before booking, it's worth asking directly about current licensing: a Construction Supervisor license (CS-075564) tied to septic and excavation permits in the area is listed by both BuildZoom and the Massachusetts license registry as expired, and it is registered to an individual named Arthur E Pastore rather than the company's stated owner — the shared phone number suggests some connection, but it shouldn't be assumed to cover this company's current work. With only one dated review surfacing despite decades of claimed operation, it's also fair to ask for recent references directly. Pastore Excavation looks like a solid fit for Cape Cod homeowners and builders needing septic, grading, or general site-work done by an established local outfit — just confirm current licensing and ask for a few recent references before signing on.
