J. L. Natoli Excavating and Septic Services.

We purchased a house with the expectation that a new septic system would be put in before we moved in, in October. The septic system wasn't finished until mid-July of the following year, over 8 months later. After we moved in, we were in constant communication with him (not on his part, but with us calling) every single week to ask when the system would go in. Every single week, he lied and said he would start the next week, this went on for 8 months. He never reached out to us to give us an update, we had to reach out to him. When he did show, the job took well over a month and there were many days (sometimes a full week) where he just didn't show up with his team. Our neighbors were beginning to wonder if he would ever finish. After the job was done, the yard was super rocky and none of the grass grew. He also tried to charge us an extra $2,000 for "extra labor" to use our yard rather than our driveway to drive his trucks and backhoe down because we didn't want the large pieces of equipment to ruin our driveway. We told him he could use the driveway if he put pieces of sheathing down to prevent damage, but he refused. So this year, we spent days raking up and pulling weeds so that we could try to grow grass, since it never grew after they left (we watered it 2 to 3 times a day). But before we could plant grass, we had to get some of the spots filled that were sinking in our yard, which seems to be normal. He said to call him if it happens and he will come out and put new dirt on it. We called and he surprisingly answered the phone and said he would be out that weekend to take a look. He never showed up. I called probably 5 or 6 times and left 2 voicemails over the course of a week and a half and he never called back. At this point we decided to just do the work ourselves rather than waiting, which was not cheap. So we bought dirt, grass seed, and everything else needed and filled the large holes in the yard. 3 months later, he shows up, unannounced and acts like I called him yesterday to have him come take a look. 3 months later.... to say the least he is not punctual and does not care about your time. The one thing I can say is that we have not had a problem with our system since he put it in, about a year ago. Hopefully that is the case for the years to come.

He refused to answer calls.  He flat out lied that he would start the job.  I would keep as far away from this company as possible.
