Peixoto Construction

Peixoto Construction is an excavation and site-preparation company based at 21 Townley Drive in Berkley, Massachusetts, describing itself on its own site as family-owned and owner-led and saying it has been at it for more than a decade. The work it lists is groundwork rather than building: excavation, land grading, drainage, septic system installation, land clearing and new lawn preparation, for homeowners, builders and municipal clients across southeastern Massachusetts. Customers who have hired them describe whole-site jobs carried through from the first machine to the finished lawn. A January 2025 reviewer said the company handled the site for a new house from beginning to end, communicating each step from digging the foundation through spreading loam and planting grass, and arriving when they said they would. Another January 2025 customer paid $7,500 to have a property regraded and sloped for water run-off and a foundation excavated for a house addition, and said they would hire again. Drainage and levelling come up repeatedly. A June 2025 reviewer had the back yard levelled in preparation for a pool and described a quick, efficient crew that did not sacrifice quality. A May 2026 customer had site work done for a garage foundation, noted the site was kept clean, and said the yard was graded once the garage was finished. Several reviewers name the owner, Joe, and single out responsiveness — letting them know he was on his way, and being transparent about the job. The published record is short and uniformly positive: Google shows 5★ from five ratings and Angi 5.0 from three, seven distinct reviews in all, dated 2025 and 2026, with no complaint among them. How long they have been working is the one thing the sources do not agree on, so ask them directly. Their own website says more than a decade; the Angi profile's structured field says 13 years while the blurb on that same page claims over 20. For a foundation, septic or drainage job, ask which of those covers this crew, get the scope and material costs in writing, and confirm the septic installer permitting for your town before work starts.
