A square is 100 sq ft of roof surface — bigger than the floor plan because of pitch and overhangs.
CertainTeed certified — Master Shingle Installer with SureStart PLUS warranty
Detailed contracts — 2024 reviewer cites a six-page itemised document
On-budget delivery — reviewers report quotes that never changed
Whole-exterior projects — roof, cedar siding, windows and decks together
Daily clean-up — five years of reviews describe immaculate sites
Thin recent record — only two reviews in the last six months
Entity name varies — listings show both INC and LLC
Small review volume — 39 reviews against a claimed 22 years
BelCape Construction is a Brewster-based Cape Cod exterior contractor run by its owner, Dennis Orlov, who reviewers deal with directly from first call to final payment. Massachusetts' registry verifies an active Home Improvement Contractor registration, number 198000, held of record by Belcape Construction INC — the holder name matches the business exactly. Its own site says the company was founded in Hyannis in 2004 and self-reports 22 years in business.
The practised trade is exterior work rather than general contracting: roofing, cedar shingle and shake siding, trim, gutters, decks, skylights, windows and doors. The company states it is a CertainTeed Master Shingle Installer and a CertainTeed Credentialed contractor able to offer SureStart PLUS extended warranty coverage; a September 2025 reviewer independently noted that the owner runs two roofing crews and that they are certified CertainTeed installers.
The record is small in volume but strikingly consistent — 39 reviews spanning 2021 to 2026, Google publishing a 5.0 average from 77 ratings, and every review in the packet at four or five stars. What stands out is how many describe whole-house exterior transformations rather than single jobs: an August 2025 reviewer described a 1930 Dutch colonial getting cedar roof and siding, all new windows and doors and a wraparound deck; a 2023 reviewer had a CertainTeed Landmark roof, Velux solar-powered skylights replacing old Velux units, cedar siding and Azek trim; a 2021 reviewer had a 2,600 square foot cape completely re-sided in white cedar.
Estimating and budget discipline come up repeatedly. An October 2024 reviewer said the owner called straight back, showed up when promised, sent the estimate the same night and finished a job quoted at four to five days in three. A June 2024 reviewer described a six-page contract itemising materials, services and cost, and a crew that finished with a magnetic roller for dropped nails. An August 2023 reviewer said the job came in under budget, and a November 2021 reviewer said the quoted price never changed. A November 2023 reviewer said their family had used the company for ten years across multiple roofs, doors and siding.
The company also shows up in local news: a September 2021 Wicked Local report lists BelCape Construction of Brewster among eight Cape firms donating time to a Housing Assistance Corporation repair day. Worth checking before booking: only two reviews land in the last six months, so the very recent record is thin; the entity name appears as both 'INC' and 'LLC' across listings; and the 2004 founding self-report sits against a self-reported 22 years, so ask which entity holds your contract and your warranty.
For a Cape Cod homeowner wanting a roof, cedar siding, trim, windows or a deck from a registered, manufacturer-certified owner-operator with an unusually clean record, this is a strong choice — confirm the HIC registration number on your contract and get the CertainTeed warranty level in writing.

Belcape Construction is the only company that I would use for exterior projects. Dennis is totally focused on doing a quality job. His crew is incredibly skilled and pays attention to every detail. At every step in the project they checked with me to insure I would be happy with the final renovation. My neighbors are all complimenting me on how great my house looks with the new cedar shingles siding.
If you are looking for high quality workmanship at a competitive price call BelCape Construction.
After BelCape installed 9 windows a few years ago, I had them come back to do 13 windows, front door and 2 dormers. Very very good work. Incredibly professional, and incredibly clean. Outstanding job!!!
Dennis and team did a great job installing new cedar shingle siding, trim, windows, gutters and gutter guards on our house. His crews were great, everything was done with a real sense of quality and they met the timelines. Would highly recommend Dennis and Belcape Construction.
The owner Dennis Orlov has two roofing crews and they do a great job. Be sure to ask for a quote before signing a contract with anyone else. Belcape's prices are extremely competitive.
They are certified installers of CertainTeed brand shingles.
