# Doolan Kitchens Inc

**Trade:** Kitchen Remodel · **Address:** 1088 MA-28, South Yarmouth, MA 02664 · **Phone:** (508) 367-1285 · **Website:** http://www.doolankitchens.com/ · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 3.4/5** (low confidence) — from 1 reviews across 7 sources. A 0–5 star rating built from what customers and the public say (every review and mention weighted by where it was posted, how old, how detailed and how credible it is, shrunk toward a 3.5★ baseline when evidence is thin) plus what the record shows (Reddit recommendations or warnings, a registry-verified licence, how recently they were reviewed, customer work photos, BBB grade, negative news, a revoked licence). Positive record counts only as far as the reviews have earned it; penalties count in full. Confidence describes how much weighted evidence stands behind the number, never the number itself: low when fewer than about five normal reviews' worth of weight (or mentions only) support it, medium up to about twenty, high beyond that across at least two sources. An operator flag for a suspicious review pattern caps a rating at 3.5★ and marks it low.

## The honest read

Doolan Kitchens Inc is a two-person kitchen-and-stone shop in South Yarmouth, run by Graham Doolan. Its showroom sits at 1088 Unit B Route 28 next to the RMV, and it runs its own marble and stone yard at 24 Forsyth Ave, where it says it cuts, polishes and installs granite, marble and quartz itself rather than subcontracting the stone work out.

That combination - cabinets and countertops from one shop - is what customers describe hiring them for. In a 2022 Google review, a homeowner said Graham supplied and installed their kitchen cabinets and granite countertop plus a bathroom vanity and its countertop, called the workmanship wonderful, and singled out the cutting of the granite and the rounding of the edges before recommending the business. In an April 2025 Nextdoor thread where an Eastham homeowner asked who to hire for a small kitchen remodel, a neighbour answered with this company and described Graham as wonderful and reasonably priced.

The track record is genuinely positive but genuinely small. Google shows 4.4 stars across seven ratings, only one of which comes with a readable account. Houzz and BuildZoom both carry the profile with no reviews at all, and the Better Business Bureau grades the business A+ while stating separately that it is not BBB accredited; the BBB records the business as starting in 2013 with two employees.

The one thing to check before signing anything is registration. BuildZoom lists Home Improvement Contractor licence #178372 as inactive, with an expiration of 1 November 2022, and says the state showed the status as cancelled at one point; that is a directory's claim, not a verified registry record, and BuildZoom is inconsistent about what type of licence it was. Confirm the current HIC status directly with the Massachusetts Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation.

They are a sensible call for a Cape kitchen or bathroom where cabinets and stone countertops are the job. Visit the Route 28 showroom and the Forsyth Ave stone yard, ask which phone number reaches them, since three different ones are published, and get the licence question answered in writing.

**Strengths:**
- Stone fabrication — cuts, polishes and installs its own countertops
- Granite finish — a reviewer praised the cutting and edge rounding
- One-stop cabinets — supplies and installs cabinets and countertops together
- Price — a Nextdoor neighbour called the owner reasonably priced

**Concerns:**
- Licence status — BuildZoom lists HIC 178372 inactive since November 2022
- Thin review record — seven Google ratings, one readable review body
- Three phone numbers — the site and directories publish different ones

**Where sources disagree:**
- The Better Business Bureau grades the business A+ while separately stating it is NOT BBB accredited; these are two different facts and the grade does not imply accreditation.
- BuildZoom is internally inconsistent about the licence: its prose calls #178372 'a General Contractor license' while its own licence block calls the same number Type 'Home Improvement Contractor'. It is a directory claim only - no state registry record for this business appears in this scan - so it is attributed here, not stated as fact, and the reader is told to confirm with the state.
- BuildZoom's 'BZ Score 0' is explicitly a consequence of it not verifying an active licence, not a customer rating; it must never read as sentiment.
- Three different phone numbers are on file: (508) 367-1285 on the company's own site, Houzz and BuildZoom; (508) 619-7865 on BBB and on a 2022 South Yarmouth permit; and (508) 619-4693 on directory index pages.
- Two addresses are on file - the showroom at 1088 Unit B Rte 28 and 31 Aspinet Road on BuildZoom. BuildZoom's sampled permit at 1070 MA-28 annotated 'doolan kitchen 508-619-7865' ties them to the same business rather than to two firms.
- Houzz's About text is copied verbatim from the company's own website, so it is the business's own marketing rather than an independent description.
- The name 'Doolan' pulled several unrelated entities during this scan - Doolan Building & Remodeling of Norwell, the law firm Furey Doolan & Abell LLP and a 1921 White Plains NY realty advertisement for GEORGE E. DOOLAN, Inc. - all rejected.
