Cape Cod Renovation

Cape Cod Renovation is a Centerville outfit built around gut remodels — bathrooms and kitchens torn down to the studs, additions built from the framing up, and exteriors redone in cedar shingle and Hardie siding. The company says it's run by Vladimir Doklev, who shows up by name (often just "Vlad") in review after review, from a bay-window swap to a full house addition. On Google, 69 ratings average 4.9 stars, and the specifics keep repeating: a closet removed to enlarge a bathroom with new plumbing and electrical, a botched garage job from another contractor finished within a week, a kitchen and dining room expanded with new cabinetry, floors, and mini-splits. Reviews span 2021 through this spring, with eleven landing in the last six months and none of them negative — customers describe jobs staying on schedule and on budget, with Doklev researching materials down to matching a replacement slider door's color to the originals. Two older reviews are worth knowing about. In 2023, one homeowner said they waited three hours for a scheduled appointment that no one showed up for, with no follow-up afterward; in 2021, another wrote simply that a request went unanswered. Neither recurs in anything more recent, but both are real accounts of a missed intake call. BuildZoom lists a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration for the company (#194808) and says it checked the license as active this past March, alongside 18 permitted jobs — mostly kitchen remodels — including one in Centerville itself. Its Better Business Bureau file shows an A+ rating with no complaints on record, though the company isn't BBB-accredited and has been open there eight years. (BuildZoom's address for the company, in South Yarmouth, differs from the Centerville address on its website and BBB file — likely an earlier location, worth confirming which is current.) For a homeowner planning a real renovation rather than a quick fix, this is a company whose reviewers keep describing full-scope jobs — additions, whole-bath and whole-kitchen remodels, exterior overhauls — usually with Doklev personally walking through material choices. Given the two dated no-show reports, it's worth nailing down a firm appointment window before the first visit.
