A 2022 customer developing a lot for a new home build said Matt and his crew handled the excavation, site drainage, utility tie-ins and subs. That 2022 customer said they were on site on time, worked until the tasks were completed and stuck to a pricing schedule based on the actual materials and scope of work. A 2024 customer said Matt Mello, the owner, did two jobs for them: ripping out the old floor of a 4-car garage and installing a new one, then digging up, exposing and waterproofing the garage foundation. That 2024 customer called the pricing fair and said the job site was left clean every day. A 2021 customer said Matt and John leveled and seeded a lawn, removed an old tree trunk and poured a curved sidewalk. That 2021 customer said the sidewalk pour was scheduled alongside a friend's job down the road to keep the concrete cost reasonable. In a 2021 review, a customer said he located a water leak quickly and repaired it, finishing the job in poor weather conditions. A 2021 customer wrote that the contractor spoke with the zoning officials to be sure everything was acceptable before, during and after the project. On Angi and on HomeAdvisor it holds 5.0 stars from 16 ratings, and on Google 5 stars from 4 ratings. A 2021 customer said they needed to do some cleanup of the existing driveway after the equipment was gone.
You won’t find a more honest, more professional or more skilled excavator/operator than Matt Mello, owner of South Shore excavation. Matt has now done two big jobs for me, the first being to rip out the old floor in our 4-car garage and install a new floor, the second being to dig up/expose and waterproof the garage foundation. In both cases, Matt’s pricing was extremely fair, he delivered 100% on his promises, finished the work in a timely manner and left an immaculate job site every day. I really can’t recommend Matt Mello & South Shore Excavation highly enough. If you’re looking for a true professional who does what he says he’s going to do, when he says he’s going to do it, look no further.

Very dedicated to doing a quality project that achieves the desired outcome.
To say that Matt and his crew @ South Shore Excavation met my expectations would be an understatement. After interviewing several excavation contractors this past July, prior to beginning my 'new home build' lot's development, I centered in on South Shore pretty quicly because of their initial interest in my project, and, Matt's confidence in knowing what they could accomplish once the project got started. From excavation, to site drainage, utility tie ins and subs, they nailed it at every turn. If your looking for an excavation company that [doesn't] work with consistency, is overpriced, misses schedule deadlines, does minimum to average site work and won't work within your financial budget, then DON'T hire South Coast, because they were at my site ON TIME, CONSISTENTLY worked until the tasks were COMPLETED, considered MY INPUT, finished each day on site and CAREFULLY secured the property, FOLLOWED-UP on every item that was done to ensure there would not be any call backs.....and there weren't! They also came in with a pre-pricing structure that was based on the actual materials & scope of work, without introducing unnecessary add-ons, and then stuck to that 'true pricing schedule' throughout the project..and that's rare! If your in need of an excavation, be smart and get someone who'll make your project a success from the planning right through until completion. Thanks Matt, appreciate what you accomplished. Gerry
