CHC Building & Remodeling is a Yarmouth Port general contracting firm run by John Clohessy Jr., holding an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor license and working across kitchen, bathroom, basement and whole-home remodeling and additions on Cape Cod. What stands out across the nine reviews on file, all from 2025 and 2026, is how many of them come from repeat clients. One family describes John completing numerous projects on two homes, including an antique sea captain's house, over four years; another says he's worked on siding, doors, windows, stairs, and a laundry-space addition at their Orleans home over six years; a third was starting a third project with him at the time of writing. That kind of return business from the same households is a strong signal on its own. The praise itself is consistently specific — clear, itemized estimates, work finished on the promised schedule, and attention to detail reviewers call meticulous. One review, notably, comes from an electrical contractor who's worked alongside him and called him an "outstanding GC," adding that a general contractor is often the most undervalued part of a renovation from a homeowner's point of view. A 2026 review described a bedroom window and cedar siding job finished with strong communication and craftsmanship throughout. There's nothing negative anywhere in the reviews to weigh against that, though the written history is still relatively short — nine reviews across just a few platforms and a year and a half. For a remodel, addition, or multi-trade project on the Cape, CHC's licensed status and a run of specific, repeat-client praise make it a strong option worth a closer look.
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!
