## The honest read

T P's Excavation & Septic Services is a Vineyard Haven excavation and septic contractor run by Timothy Peters. According to its BBB profile, the company has been in business since 1996 — nearly three decades on Martha's Vineyard.

There's very little written history to go on: a single detailed review, from 2023. The reviewer hired the company for two separate jobs on two properties — the first, they said, went smoothly and wrapped up within a month, and was a good experience overall. But they rated the whole engagement one star and said they would strongly not recommend the company, without spelling out what went wrong on the second job.

With only that one review and no BBB complaint history to weigh it against, it's worth asking pointed questions and checking recent references before booking — the one account here is mixed, not a clean track record either way.

For a septic or excavation job on the Vineyard, T P's brings decades of tenure — but there isn't enough here yet to say much beyond that; get a few references before committing to a project.

**Strengths:**
- First job completed — 2023 review called it smooth, done within a month

**Concerns:**
- Mixed 2023 review — smooth first job, but said would not recommend overall
