Blakely George W Builders

Blakely Builders works out of Hyannis on Cape Cod, building custom homes and running additions and renovation projects for homeowners across Barnstable, Yarmouth, South Yarmouth and Brewster. The company's own site says the operation dates back to 1971 — though its BBB file, which lists 2 employees and no accreditation, records a business-started date of 1990 instead. Client testimonials on the site name George and Josh as the two people running the shop; BBB lists George Blakely alone as the owner of record. What's verified is the license: Blakely Builders' Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration, #104514, is active and checks out against the state registry, not just a directory's say-so. Building-permit records back that with real activity — 47 permitted jobs pulled since 2017 across Cape towns including Barnstable, Hyannis, West Yarmouth, Harwich Port and Cotuit, spanning additions, remodels and exterior work. Customer feedback is thin right now: a single five-star Google rating is the only public review on file, so there's no written track record to lean on yet. Anyone considering them for a project should ask directly about the company's actual history, given the site and BBB don't agree on when it started, and should ask for references given how little public review history exists. For a Cape homeowner planning a custom build or a larger addition, the verified license and a real permit trail are solid starting points — just go in with questions a thin review record can't yet answer.
