E.J. Jaxtimer Builder, Inc.

E.J. Jaxtimer Builder has been building on Cape Cod since the late 1970s, and it still reads that way: a family operation, with founder E.J. Jaxtimer working alongside his wife Terry and their three sons, Jonathan, Jamie and Sam, according to the company. Based in Hyannis, it focuses on custom home building and remodeling, along with millwork, landscaping and property management, and says it serves Cape Cod and the Islands. On a 2025 Cape Cod-focused Reddit thread asking for residential contractor recommendations, a commenter named Jaxtimer alongside two other firms as the mid-Cape's "highest end builder recs," saying they had worked with all three and could vouch for the quality; another commenter agreed those were the area's luxury builders. There isn't written customer-review text behind the numbers here — Google shows 5 stars from 5 ratings and Houzz 5.0 from 2 — but BuildZoom's profile, drawing on public permit records, shows a long history of high-value new-construction and renovation projects on the Cape, and gives the company its top score. The Better Business Bureau lists an A+ grade and shows the business operating since 1979 with about 16 employees, though it isn't a BBB-accredited business. BuildZoom and the BBB list a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration for the company — that's their claim, not something verified against the state registry here, so it's worth confirming directly. The company also belongs to the Hyannis Chamber of Commerce. There isn't much written-record detail to go on yet — no full customer reviews with specifics, just ratings and a couple of Reddit name-drops — so anyone considering them for a major custom build should ask for references from recent, comparable projects before committing.
