Davenport Building has been putting up and renovating homes on Cape Cod since 1956, and it's still run by the same family four generations later out of South Yarmouth, alongside sister companies in real estate, golf, and hospitality under the Davenport Companies umbrella. The written reviews are all recent — four in 2025 — but consistent in the names they mention: project manager Troy Walls, craftsman Doug, and a colleague named Art show up across more than one job. The work described is substantial. One homeowner had the company turn an unfinished basement into a living space with an office, a bunk room, a bathroom, and a gym, including custom-built cabinetry and bunks and larger windows for natural light. Another had a full accessible bathroom remodel, enlarging the shower with future mobility needs in mind, and called Troy, Doug, and Art professional and knowledgeable throughout. A third described a second-floor remodel in Osterville where Doug's attention to detail and Troy's communication stood out. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license, #106024, is active and verified against the state registry, and it also holds an active Construction Supervisor license. An earlier home improvement contractor license number, #211770, shows as inactive on BuildZoom. This looks like a strong choice for a substantial addition, basement conversion, or accessibility-focused bathroom remodel on Cape Cod — the written record is still thin, so ask for references from a project similar in scope to yours.

“I worked in the family business as a kid and through college, pounding nails for the Davenport Building Company”
“Davenport has been with the company for five years, most recently holding numerous positions within the Davenport Building Company, Blue Rock Golf Course and Davenport Realty Yearly Rentals.”
I had an outstanding experience with Davenport Construction on my second floor remodel in Osterville. Troy was fantastic to work with—flexible, professional, and always great at communicating. Doug is a master craftsman with amazing attention to detail and such an easygoing personality. The quality of their work and level of service exceeded my expectations. I will not hesitate to go to them for future projects, they have my highest recommendation.
We hired Davenport to transform our unfinished basement into a comfortable living space, office, bunk room, bathroom and gym. They custom designed and built cabinetry and bunks for our space, added larger windows for natural light and closeted off mechanical equipment. Davenport was reasonably priced, and even more important, responsive, meticulous, respectful, clean and completed our project on time. We were thrilled with their work! After an unfortunate water-related incident (unrelated to Davenport's work), we didn't hesitate to re-hire Davenport to restore our home to its original state. We were just as pleased with their work the second time around. We highly recommend Davenport Building for any custom carpentry, home remodel, and construction needs.
We hired Davenport to completely remodel our bathroom, to make it accessible in case we were ever disabled or got old (which is happening even as I write). Troy Walls and his team (Doug and Art -- a pair of professional, personable people who knew their stuff) enlarged our shower and had it exchange places with our bathroom sink/vanity. They widened the door frame of the bathroom (and our bedroom) to allow wheelchair access; they relaid the floor and added amenities like a timer-heater for the shower, a fan, etc.; and they added grab bars. Their work was efficient and steady; they disturbed our life and home as little as possible; they took care not to let dust and debris from the bathroom blow into the bedroom while they were working; they thoroughly cleaned up after themselves when the work was done; and they made sure we were entirely satisfied with the job before they signed off on it. Months later, when we had a minor problem with a shower door, they immediately came back and resolved the problem. We would not hesitate to recommend them and Davenport to anyone requiring a major remodeling job. Anca V. and Anthony A. Centerville
Amazing company to work with. Exceptional communication, workmanship and quality of work. Highly recommended.
