Cape Cod Stoneworks is a stone masonry and hardscaping contractor based in Orleans, run by owner-operator Tyler Hale, a local stone mason. The company's own site describes work spanning patios, retaining walls, stone driveways, fieldstone walls, fire pits, stone and brick fireplaces and chimneys, stone veneer, and related site work and excavation, and its BBB profile shows it has been in business since November 2014.
Customers who hired the company for patio, walkway, driveway, and stonework projects describe careful, detail-oriented craftsmanship. A 2024 Google reviewer called the crew "professional, efficient, and more than fair" after they installed a walkway torn up by sewer work, and a 2023 reviewer praised the company for matching their home's existing brick when filling in a foundation opening and leaving the site spotless afterward. Reviews on Angi and HomeAdvisor going back to 2018 repeatedly mention quick response times, fair pricing, and being "no nonsense" and "timely," and a 2019 reviewer described Tyler responding immediately to a chimney and roof repair estimate and delivering work he called outstanding.
That track record sits alongside one serious, specific complaint. A customer who hired the company in mid-2022 to add a deck and garage "bump out" says the roughly 2-3 month project stretched past its agreed timeline, the crew stopped showing up, requests for updates went unanswered, and after firing the contractor and mailing a certified letter that came back undeliverable, it cost another $3,000 to hire someone else to finish the work. This is the only complaint of its kind among the reviews, but it is recent (2024) and detailed, and worth asking about directly.
Before booking, it's worth getting a firm written timeline given that account of a stalled project, especially for a larger job like a deck addition. Most of what's written on Angi and HomeAdvisor dates to 2018-2019, so ask for references from more recent work. Cape Cod Stoneworks otherwise looks like a solid choice for stonework, patios, retaining walls, and hardscaping, with consistent, specific praise for craftsmanship and responsiveness.
