Cape Associates has been building and remodelling on the Outer Cape from Massasoit Road in Eastham for decades — long enough that one HomeAdvisor reviewer wrote in 2015 that they had used the firm for over forty years without a single bad experience. Its Massachusetts home-improvement registration, HIC 100110, is registry-verified active, and the Better Business Bureau grades it A+. It is the name Cape homeowners pass along. On r/CapeCod in July 2026 one commenter answered an Eastham homeowner with simply 'Since you are in Eastham try Cape Associates'; another the same month said the property-management side has always been professional and that several of their clients had the company handle full remodels and were very happy. The firm is named repeatedly in Cape recommendation threads going back to 2021, and on Nextdoor in Eastham. The work spans the whole range. Reviewers describe a house built from scratch and then maintained for years afterwards, a chimney rebuilt, a three-season porch built with carpenters, painters and electricians all on schedule and no add-on charges, an addition, a 1960s Cape completely revived inside and out, kitchen cabinet doors, sink, countertops and hardware replaced quickly and on schedule in 2026, mini-splits installed, and exterior trim replaced. The company keeps trades in-house: reviewers name its own electrician and describe an on-site manager plus a supervisor coordinating subcontractors. It also holds a LEED Gold rating from the U.S. Green Building Council for its own Michael H. Cole Building in Eastham, completed in 2014, and was the builder on a This Old House project in 2020. Two themes run through the criticism, and both are worth raising before you sign. Price: a 2023 reviewer called the work 'shamelessly overpriced' while granting the quality is good, a 2024 reviewer got the highest of three roof estimates, and a 2014 reviewer said they were 'a little higher in pricing than everybody else'. And reaching them: a 2024 reviewer called twice for an electrical estimate and never got a call back, and a 2023 one-star review says the same in four words. So ask for a line-item estimate you can compare, get the schedule and what triggers extra charges in writing, and if you do not hear back on a first call, be prepared to chase — the firm's own reviewers say the follow-through on small enquiries is where it slips.

Our experience with Cape Associates was perfect. They replaced our kitchen cabinet doors, the sink, countertops and hardware quickly and beautifully, with high quality materials and exquisite craftsmanship at a great price. The timing was just as promised. Communication was excellent. Special thanks to Lyndsay, Nancy and Sam for a wonderful transaction and a fabulous result. We couldn’t be happier.
They are the best. They did a wonderful job building the house and later with various tasks and upkeep including a chimney rebuild. They do high end projects but are also great for the modest homeowner. I’m using them now for a small window project and Dave H was there the next day getting specs.
We recently had your in-house electrician Dan come to our house to complete some minor tasks (replace a faulty arc-fault breaker, replace an old outdoor receptacle, trace some abandoned circuits from subpanel). Dealing with Dan was a pleasure from the walk-through to the completion of the work. He "got it" right away, he and Mariella got the quote back to us quickly and they scheduled the work promptly. When Dan showed up, he remembered all the details without prompting and efficiently and professionally executed the work. He is clearly a competent electrician, but the thing that really set him apart for us was his ability to communicate clearly. From our perspective, Dan is the type of person you want out there as the face of Cape Associates meeting your customers... he presents and executes with the quality we know from experience Cape Associates strives for. Many thanks to Cape Associates and Dan for a (small) job well done!!
Working with the Team at Cape Associates was a fantastic experience. They are a highly professional, customer-oriented company willing to work with the home owner to develop the best plan for your home. We had mini-splits installed and the work was outstanding--it was an impeccable installation, everything neatly laid out with care and attention to placement of condensers and conduit. There was great communication along the way about the process, wonderful patience in answering questions, great information about all the details, and everything followed the plan without a glitch! We are so pleased with the work, and really happy we went with Cape Associates for this work!
Highest estimate of 3 for our roof in 2022. This year, called to get an electrical estimate on 2 separate occasions... Never got a call back. I'm surprised.
