Cape & Island Kitchens is an owner-operated cabinetry and remodeling company that founder Joe Cheney has run out of Sagamore Beach and Hyannis since 1990, and one thing sets it apart in the reviews: it keeps its own designers, installers, electricians, plumbers and carpenters on staff rather than subcontracting the whole job out. The reviews describe full kitchen remodels down to the studs, disaster-recovery jobs — one after a burst pipe destroyed a kitchen, another after a raccoon chewed through a rubber roof and flooded one — and a historic-building install inside the old Railroad Station Building in Buzzards Bay. Designers like Tracey Perry, John Hurley, Winn Fernandes and Mark Tuleja come up by name again and again for walking customers through cabinet and layout choices, and several reviewers mention using the same designer for a third or fourth project. One customer described a 20-year-old lazy susan cabinet door that broke; a technician named Kevin came out and fixed it free of charge. Projects are generally described as finishing on the timeline quoted, with installers praised for clean, detailed cabinetry work. There's a real gap worth knowing about: the company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is listed as expired on the state registry, and BBB gives the company a B- grade with one complaint on file. A 2023 review, in contrast to nearly everything else here, called the experience poor without giving specifics. The company's own pages also don't agree on how long it's been around — one says 32 years, another says 35 — a minor inconsistency worth noting. For a full kitchen or bath remodel on the Cape or South Shore, the specific, repeat-customer stories here make a strong case; just confirm the current status of the home improvement contractor license directly before signing a contract.
“I can't say enough wonderful things about the whole Cape & Islands Kitchens' operation. From design, to implementation, to completion, the whole process was perfectly streamlined.”
I cannot say enough positive things about Cape and Islands Kitchen. Unlike most others, they have their own dedicated design team, installers, electricians, plumbers, and carpenters. Plus a Forman (Bill) and Sonja and Laurie that oversee the project. They started on time and finished on time. They were easy to communicate with and addressed all our issues promptly. They are good people to work with.
We had Cape & Island Kitchens remodel our kitchen. Winn Fernandes suggested design choices that doubled our storage and were esthetically lovely. The installers were professional, respectful and did a great job! Office staff were friendly and responsive to our needs. We are so happy with our kitchen and happy to have chosen this company.
From inception to completion, our kitchen remodel project exceeded our expectations! The professionalism that each member of the team showed was consistent and reliable. We were told that our project to redo our small kitchen would be between5-6 weeks. They finished exactly in 6 weeks in spite of losing a couple of days due to the blizzard. Each subcontractor(electrician, plumber, and carpenter) showed up on time and worked diligently. Their expertise and skill was evident throughout. The communication was excellent throughout the entire process. We always knew who was coming into our home each day and were given timelines ahead of what was coming in the following week. The price and dates of deposits were clearly delineated so there was no guessing on our part. Our designer, Donna, hit it out of the park! She was so helpful in offering suggestions and assured me that she could turn our outdated kitchen into a gorgeous modern and more functioning space. It is truly a kitchen that we couldn't have imagined. The project manager, Bill, showed up frequently to make sure that all was running smoothly. We can't emphasize enough how great this company has been to work with so if you are thinking of a remodel- don't think twice... just call them. From 2 grateful clients, Melanie & Jake
