Byam Construction is a one-man exterior-repair and remodeling operation run out of Hyannis by owner Roger Byam, who has built and framed homes across Cape Cod since the early 1990s and holds an active Massachusetts Construction Supervisor license (CS-075376) and Home Improvement Contractor registration (HIC 132560), both verified against the state registry under his own name. The business is BBB-accredited with an A+ rating and focuses on the kind of work coastal New England homes need most: rotted siding, decaying window and door components, roof and chimney flashing repairs, and structural repairs where moisture has damaged sills, framing, or trim. Homeowners who have actually hired him describe a consistent pattern across 31 reviews spanning 2022 through 2026 and eight different platforms, virtually all five stars with no negative reviews on file. Several reviewers were repeat customers who called him back for multiple projects over the years — a basement bathroom and a family-room ceiling elevation for one Falmouth homeowner, and roofing plus other house projects for another. Reviewers describe fast turnaround: he's shown up to patch storm-damaged shingles the same evening before rain, given estimates within twenty minutes of a first call, and started jobs within two days. A recurring theme is care with the small things — putting down drop cloths to catch rotted wood and nails, leaving the site clean each day, and using the materials specified in the estimate (pressure-treated lumber, PVC trim). Several reviews name crew members who worked alongside him — Seth on a cellar-stairs replacement, and others on door and trim jobs — suggesting a small, consistent team rather than a rotating cast of subcontractors. Reported job costs in the reviews range widely, from a few hundred dollars for a trim or moulding repair up to $10,000 for a full roof job, so getting a written, itemized estimate for the specific scope of work is worth doing before booking, as several reviewers describe him providing. Byam Construction is a solid call for a Cape Cod homeowner dealing with weather-driven exterior damage — rotted siding or trim, failing windows and doors, roof or chimney leaks, or structural repairs uncovered once a project is opened up — and for anyone wanting a contractor who has done repeat work for the same clients over multiple years. Confirm current pricing and scheduling directly, since both vary by project scope.
Roger and his crew are great. They provide honest professional work, with timely communication and are well priced. You can’t really ask for more than that.
Professional, fast, quality work.
The entire experience from the initial meeting through the completion of the work, was professional and reliable. I would have to recommend this company, to my closest friends and family.
This pro arrived on schedule, worked on my project in a timely and complete manner. The pro applied his many years of experience on my project. I am more than satisfied. Would hire him again and recommend him to others.
