Encore Construction is a Dennis Port design-build firm homeowners bring in for the bigger jobs — additions, sunrooms, garages, whole-kitchen and whole-bath remodels — and its own site says it has offered that kind of work since 1995. What reviewers keep coming back to, across accounts running from 2016 through this year, is the design-build handoff itself: several describe a single team carrying a project from the first design options through permitting to final cleanup, with a project manager keeping them updated even from out of state. A 2026 review of a garage-and-porch addition called the process, from Dennis's permitting office to final cleanup, smooth start to finish; another says a sunroom project came in on budget and on the timeline promised. The company's BBB profile carries an A+ rating, and it holds a run of industry recognitions including NARI Contractor of the Year and Remodeling Magazine's Big 50. One thing worth knowing: a 2023 Google review called a roughly $50,000 quote to convert a tub to a stand-up shower and remove a kitchen wall too expensive — a data point on pricing for a smaller-scope job, against a company whose typical work runs toward full additions and remodels. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. Sources also disagree slightly on its history: Houzz credits Dale Nikula with founding the company in 1995, while its BBB listing says it started in 2000 under owner Kathy DeMeyer. This reads like the right call for a homeowner planning a full addition, sunroom, or gut remodel who wants one team managing design through construction — just get a firm, written estimate up front given the one pricing complaint on file.
“Harden and encore do good work.”
“West Dennis Encore Construction”
We have had Encore complete a number of remodeling projects for us. Some larger than others. This time we sought them out to remodel our old decaying deck. They provided several design options to use as much of our existing structure as possible. We chose the option that best balanced our taste and our budget (mahogany surfaces on pressure-treated framing). Encore managed all the rest, from walking down the project with the town before work began, to installation and cleanup. They finished ahead of schedule, in fact they finished on the day that they originally were targeting to begin! The crew was here bright and early every morning working hard and keeping our property neat and safe. I highly recommend Encore to anyone looking to remodel on Cape Cod. I attached a few before, during and after photos.
After reviewing several proposals for our new sunroom, we decided to hire Encore for the project. Everything was managed from start to finish with precision and personal concierge service. Highly recommend Encore for any project!
Working with the Encore team was a pleasure from initial design to finish. The project came in on budget and time. Luke, who was project manager, kept me up to date weekly on the progress and went out of his way to help me since I live in Philadelphia. It was great knowing my property was in such good care and I couldn’t be happier with the results.
I recently had Encore Construction add a 2 car garage and farmers porch to our house on Cape Cod. From the permitting process with the town of Dennis to the final cleanup, working with them was in a word outstanding. Every person I dealt with was responsive, professional and interested. The owner, Kathy DeMeyer, has an excellent team. I was very fortunate to be assigned Jim Mallet as the project manager for my work. Jim really knows the business, is very hard working and fun to work with. Given that the house is a seasonal one for us and a large part of the work was done when we weren’t there, it was great to have Jim who was always on top of things and very responsive. He made a long distance project go very well. Bob Derrah
We had Encore build a sunroom this year for us and are very pleased with the result. They were responsive, showed great attention to detail and quality workmanship.The subs were pleasant and professional. Pricing was fair and overall it was a very positive experience.
