D3 Builders Inc.

D3 Builders Inc. is a third-generation, Cape Cod-native general contractor based in Mashpee, co-owned by David Richards III and Anthony Franze. The company describes itself as family-owned and is BBB accredited with an A+ rating since 2018, and it has built a body of roofing, siding, additions, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and custom home construction work across Cape Cod, Plymouth, Wareham and the South Shore. Homeowners who have actually hired D3 consistently name the same two people. Reviewers describe David and Anthony personally answering calls and texts, showing up the same day for storm damage, and walking clients through options and pricing before starting work. The praise centers on specific, varied projects rather than generic compliments: a garage converted into an ADA-compliant in-law apartment, a three-level addition that connected a new structure to an old house complete with a new septic system, a 16-by-14 addition in Cotuit, and a run of roof and siding jobs where reviewers note careful protection of landscaping and thorough cleanup, including one crew that swept the driveway with a magnet to catch stray nails. These accounts run from 2021 through mid-2026, so the pattern of responsiveness and craftsmanship isn't a one-off. The company's licensing record is worth checking before booking. The Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration on file for D3 Builders Inc. (HIC #203317) is confirmed expired by the state licensing registry, even though the business's own directory listings elsewhere are inconsistent about that same license's status. A separate Construction Supervisor license (CS-101506, held by David Richards) is listed as active on BuildZoom, but that claim comes from the directory itself and was not independently registry-verified in this scan. Homeowners should confirm both licenses directly with the state before signing a contract. There's also a gap in how long the company says it has been operating: Angi's listing claims 28 years of experience, while BBB records the business starting in July 2015 (about 11 years) and the company's own site says roughly a decade. That could reflect an owner's personal career in the trade rather than the firm's age, but it's worth asking about directly. Beyond that, the written record is unusually clean. Every retrievable review — 18 on Google plus one on BuildZoom — is five stars, BBB shows no complaints or government actions on file, and a 2019 Barnstable Patriot feature quoted the co-owner discussing roof repair, corroborating the company's public profile. D3 Builders is a solid call for roofing, siding and mid-to-large renovation projects on the Cape, especially for homeowners who value reaching the owners directly — just confirm the current status of both trade licenses first.
