S.H. Dunford Construction and Excavation describes itself as a locally owned Cape Cod business, owned and operated by native Cape Codder Sam Dunford and in business since 2012. In its own words, its work runs from septic systems and excavation to landscape construction and hardscapes. In a 2022 review, Sam was described as patient while the scope of the project was considered, steering the customer away from adding unnecessary scope, and as meticulous in his work and clean up. A 2019 review described a project installing a canvas garage that had several design flaws; Sam was able to make all adjustments, and landscape timbers were installed properly. Another 2019 review said Sam kept in touch and even sent pictures. In a 2018 review, they took a fifty foot pine tree down and did a great job of clean up at a reasonable price. A separate 2018 review said Sam was not the lowest or the highest of several estimates, and that he offered advice on improvements that would not necessarily involve business for himself.
Sam was prompt, professional, detail oriented, very kind and quick. He was patient as we considered the scope of the project and drove me away from adding unnecessary scope (and cost, which would have been more money for him). He was extremely communicative, something I rarely see around the Cape and meticulous in his work and clean up. Believe me when I say I have high expectations that workers rarely meet - and Sam met them all.

Sam was very professional. Kept in touch to let me know what was going on and even sent pictures. I would hire them again for sure.
Great job! They came when they said and cleaned up everything! Sam and his crew were very professional!
Very hard working and took on project of installing a canvas garage that had several design flaws. Sam was able to make all adjustments. Also landscape timbers were installed properly and finally was able to work in cold winter weather. Highly recommend!
