Your Trusted Construction Partner in Sturbridge, MA

Soper Construction was founded in 1961 by Clarence 'Bud' Soper as a landscape business operating from a garage in Southbridge, Massachusetts. Over six decades, the company evolved into a multi-faceted construction and excavation contractor serving South Central Massachusetts. We specialize in septic systems, trenchless pipe repair, residential and commercial construction, and underground tank removal while maintaining core values of quality, consistency, and trust. Our reputation for reliable service and customer satisfaction has been built through landmark projects like school constructions in the 1980s and ongoing partnerships with commercial clients requiring snow removal and site work. We pioneered trenchless excavation technology to minimize property disruption while maintaining cost-effectiveness.

Great Experience with Soper. Called them and they got back to me right away, answered all my questions and scheduled the work promptly and finished the work quickly at a reasonable price. Highly recommend!

Stephen & his crew installed a new, modern-technology septic tank in our backyard that several other companies took one look at and then disappeared without following-up with us. A long and stressful process involving permits, inspections, financing and town approvals, Soper Construction was the only group of people that were reliable and went above and beyond taking the time to make sure our concerns were heard and everything was installed correctly. Stephen would personally come inspect things if there was ever an issue at a moments notice, and his crew worked diligently and cleaned everything

I called Soper Construction after another contractor we had used in the past failed to return multiple calls. Steve Soper returned my call the same day, scheduled a visit to review the job the same day, and had a crew on site quickly as promised to replace a 90 year old drain pipe that had failed in multiple locations. All completed in one day and put back together including grass seeding. I've found my new contractor for all future similar jobs.

We recently bought a home, and we bought it halfway through the build so, didn't get to choose our builder. Well, the Builder left after closing and never came back leaving our backyard a giant mud pit. Fortunately, Stephen and his team came to save the day! They were on time, did what they said they would do, and if there were any delays at all-we knew beforehand from Stephen. It was refreshing to have reliable and accountable people working on our project. I was truly impressed with the finesse and professionalism that the Soper team displayed which isn't easy. Thank you again, Stephen

Soper has been so helpful from day one! He is very prompt, easy to get ahold of, and easy to work with. He even used his own personal time to meet with us at our lot to give his opinions. I can't say enough good things, one of the best decisions I've made during our building process so far was to work with Soper Construction.
