Bedroom windows and cedar siding: that was the job a recent customer hired John Clohessy of CHC Building & Remodeling Inc to do, and they said John communicated well, stayed on schedule and charged a fair price. A recent customer who has used John for several projects said that when problems come up, he communicates clearly and finds an acceptable solution. A 2025 customer wrote that John had worked on siding, doors, windows, stairs and laundry space at their home in Orleans over 6 years. A 2025 customer said John had completed numerous projects on two homes for their family over the last four years, including an antique sea captain's house. A 2025 customer with two Cape Cod properties said each estimate was clearly stated and the work was completed on schedule as promised. A 2025 customer who said they are an electrical contractor described John's job sites as clean, organized and professional, and said he holds his subs to the same standards. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, number 201725, is active on the state registry.
Highly recommend John Clohessy and CHC Building & Remodeling Inc. We recently hired John to replace our bedroom windows and cedar siding, and the quality of the work was outstanding. John communicated well throughout the project, stayed on schedule, and delivered excellent craftsmanship at a fair price. Professional, responsive, and reliable — we would gladly use CHC again for future home projects.
I’ve used John for several projects over the years and his quality of work is excellent! He’s diligent in making sure everything comes together and if any problems come up, he communicates clearly and finds an acceptable solution. It’s evident from what he’s done for me that he takes great pride in his work. It’s hard on Cape to find a reliable quality contractor-John is it!
John isn’t just an outstanding carpenter — he’s an outstanding GC. As an electrical contractor, I can say with certainty that the general contractor is often the most undervalued and underappreciated asset from the client’s perspective. The truth is, the GC is usually the number one factor in whether a job goes well or not. John is a perfectionist with extremely high standards. His job sites are always clean, organized, and professional, and he clearly communicates directives and expectations on behalf of his clients. He also holds his subs to those same standards, and I have yet to meet one I wouldn’t be happy to have working on my own home. I can’t overstate John’s ability to communicate throughout an entire project. He keeps everyone aligned — clients, subs, and other contractors — which consistently leads to excellent results delivered on time and on budget. I’ve been fortunate to call John a friend for over 20 years and am continually in awe of his integrity, work ethic, and craftsmanship. Simply put, John is a true craftsman.
We couldn’t be happier with John’s work! 5 star workmanship…perfectionist, completed job on time line, we agreed on. Nice guy!
