Thomas Mackey & Sons Inc

Thomas Mackey & Sons is a Salem site-work and excavation outfit with 25 years in business on record with BBB, and its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. On Google it holds a 5★ average from 7 ratings. The written record is thin but consistent. A December 2025 review described calling when the house had no water at all — the crew laid a new pipe and drain the same day, work the reviewer said others would have dragged out. A Nextdoor neighbor separately recommended "Tom Mackey" by name, describing a 2020 water-line run from the house to the sidewalk for about $2,000 and calling themselves very satisfied, while noting the dig disturbs part of the front lawn. There isn't much more on the record to weigh against that, so it's worth getting a written quote and a sense of timeline before digging begins.
