## The honest read

Anchor Building and Design is a Cape Cod-based general contractor and remodeler working out of Centerville, MA, self-described as focused on new construction, whole-home renovations, additions, and kitchen and bathroom remodeling for homeowners across Barnstable County. The company holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC #214425) registered to Anchor Building and Design LLC and verified against the state registry, along with a Construction Supervisor license (CS-116646) reported by BuildZoom.

Reviewers on Google and Thumbtack consistently describe working directly with two named people, Diego and Wally, across a range of projects: a bathroom remodel that corrected a prior contractor's disastrous installation, a kitchen renovation that preserved the character of a 75-year-old Cape home, exterior siding and roofing replacement in Brewster, and smaller jobs like an outdoor stair rebuild and a deck repair with a drainage fix. One reviewer describes Anchor taking on and completing a renovation that four other contractors had walked away from as a tear-down. Every one of the 14 pooled reviews found is five stars — Google shows 5★ from 10 ratings and Thumbtack shows 5.0★ from 9 ratings with a 100% five-star distribution — and no negative reviews, complaints, or government actions turned up in any source checked.

BuildZoom's permit-derived activity record shows 71 permitted projects since 2022 across Cape Cod towns and places the company in the 99th percentile of its BuildZoom score among Massachusetts contractors, though BuildZoom itself has not collected any customer reviews for this business. Thumbtack separately states the company has been in business 17 years, while the company's own site describes 32 years of combined team experience — a claim about staff experience rather than the company's own age, so the two aren't necessarily in conflict, but it's worth asking directly how long the current company entity has operated.

For a kitchen or bathroom remodel, an addition, or a larger renovation on Cape Cod — including a project another contractor has turned down — Anchor Building and Design has a consistent, verified track record across every source checked. Confirm current licensing and insurance directly before signing a contract, as with any hire.

**Strengths:**
- Named leadership — reviewers repeatedly praise owners Diego and Wally by name
- Difficult project rescue — took on a tear-down four other contractors had refused
- Historic home renovations — preserved a 75-year-old Cape home's character in a kitchen remodel
- Verified license — MA HIC #214425 registered exactly to this business
- Cross-platform five stars — 5.0★ on Google and Thumbtack with zero complaints found

**Where sources disagree:**
- Thumbtack states 17 years in business while the company's own website describes 32 years of combined team experience — these describe different things (company age vs. combined staff experience) and are not necessarily inconsistent, but worth clarifying directly
