Want to lower the cost? Get multiple quotes from licensed drillers. Don’t just Google the first guy; call three or four. Some drillers in Western Mass are cheaper than those on the Cape, so shop around like you’re bargain-hunting at a farm stand.
Another trick: drill during the off-season (late fall or winter). Drillers are less busy, and you might snag a discount. And here’s a bonus: if your neighbors already have a well, ask them about the depth and water quality. It’s like getting free insider trading tips—for dirt!
