Ruberti Construction is a Yarmouth Port excavation and septic contractor run by James Ruberti, and its specialty is directional drilling — the trenchless technique that runs a new water or sewer line under a lawn instead of digging it up. The company describes itself as established in 2021, serving Yarmouth, Barnstable, Dennis, Harwich, and Brewster, with Title V septic work and 24/7 emergency water repair rounding out the services. Every one of its 13 Google ratings is five stars, and most of the written reviews are fresh — seven in the last six months alone. Homeowners describe new water services drilled under mature landscaping and through basement walls with the yard left intact, and sewer hookups where the crew walked them through Barnstable's new connection requirement in detail, timeline included. James himself is the through-line in nearly every account: upfront about scope and cost, quick to respond, easy to reach. One reviewer this June got three estimates for a broken water main and found his quote thousands of dollars under the highest; another wrote this spring that after six contractors went nowhere, the Yarmouth Water Department itself suggested calling James. There's a paper trail behind the reviews, too: BuildZoom shows 21 permitted septic, excavation, and trench projects across the Yarmouth and Dennis villages between 2022 and 2025 — permit records, not customer ratings — and lists the company under a "License Not Required" status for this type of Massachusetts work, which BuildZoom states it verified in May 2023. The company is young — five years by its own count, with the site noting the team carries over 30 years of combined experience. For a water or sewer connection, a Title V septic system, or an emergency line repair on the mid-Cape, the pattern in these reviews is a responsive owner, clean trenchless work, and honest quotes — get the scope and timeline in writing as the reviewers did.
Owner was very nice got back right to me, very professional and prompt. Helped me out of a semi emergency. Cleaned up after the job, courteous of my rug stairs leading to the basement. I would definitely recommend them
Ruberti Construction directionally drilled a new 2” water service for my home in Marstons Mills. From the start, James was upfront and honest about the scope of work and the cost. His crew did an outstanding job drilling under all my landscaping and through our basement wall. There was very minimal disruption through the entire process. I would highly recommend Ruberti Construction.
I would recommend Ruberti Construction to all. They were extremely timely, communicative and professional. With the new requirement to connect into the town sewer I found myself at a loss for what to do. The Ruberti crew came in, explained it all in detail and provided a timeline that fit our schedule. Thank you again and to any who are looking for an amazing local business to help them, this is the place!
I had the pleasure of working with Ruberti Construction on a directional drilling project at our home in Centerville, and I couldn't be happier with the job! From the first conversation to the completion of the job, the entire team was professional, responsive, and very easy to work with. What stood out most was their attention to detail and the care they took throughout the entire project. I know that directional drilling requires experience and precision, and the crew clearly knew exactly what they were doing so I never had to worry! They kept me informed every step of the way, answered all my questions, and completed the work efficiently while minimizing any disruption to the property. I was incredibly grateful to work with a local company that takes so much pride in their workmanship and treats customers with respect! On top of the exceptional service- the project was completed on schedule and my property was left clean! I’d recommend Ruberti Construction to anyone looking for a trustworthy and skilled contractor! I’ve recommended Ruberti Construction to family for jobs and they were also very happy with their work! Thank you to the entire team for making the process smooth and stress-free!
Ruberti Construction recently completed a directional drilling project at our property in Yarmouth replacing our broken water service. Their crew was professional, knowledgeable, and James communicated clearly throughout the process. The directional drilling was completed with minimal disruption to the property, and the work area was left clean and well restored afterward.
