Dan Davis Custom Building-Remodeling

Dan Davis Custom Building-Remodeling is an Orleans firm that describes itself as a 30-year Cape Cod custom home builder handling kitchens, additions and room remodels, and its Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration (#153290) is active with the state. The only detailed written accounts on file are two severe 2024 reviews — one on BuildZoom, one on Houzz, posted a day apart — that read as the same customer's experience of the same new-home project rather than two separate complaints. Both describe signing a contract and then being left with unfinished work: doors that don't close, active leaks, and one reviewer citing $60,000 in damage; the BuildZoom reviewer called the outcome 'fraud' and warned others not to hire him. There's nothing else on file to weigh against this — no positive reviews, no other detailed account of a completed project. What's known independently is that the state still lists the home improvement contractor registration as active. Given a single, serious, and specific account of a project that went badly wrong with no offsetting track record, a homeowner considering this contractor should treat that account as a real warning worth investigating directly — ask for recent, verifiable references and see the current state of a completed project before signing anything.
