Ernest B. Norris & Son is an Osterville custom home builder that traces back to 1922, when Ernest Norris founded it; the company says it has been building on Cape Cod ever since, and Craig Ashworth has led it for the past 45 years. The strongest signal about its work comes from local word of mouth rather than a deep online review file: in a mid-Cape Reddit thread about high-end builders, one commenter listed EB Norris among the "highest end" recommendations and said they'd worked with the firm and could vouch for the quality, and two other posts named it among the area's luxury builders. The one Google review on file, from 2024, credits owner Craig Ashworth by name and calls the company a great builder. Its written review history is thin — a single quoted review — so there isn't much specific project detail to go on beyond the Reddit recommendations and the century-plus of self-reported history. The Better Business Bureau lists it at an A+ grade, though it is not BBB-accredited. For a Cape Cod custom build or whole-house renovation, the pattern here is reputation built over generations rather than a large volume of documented feedback — worth confirming references directly given how few written reviews exist.
“Considering that one of the principals of O’Neill Bowes used to be with EB Norris, I am sure their work will be up to the standards of the others.”
“My mid-Cape highest end builder recs would be: EB Norris, Rogers & Marney, and EJ Jaxtimer. I have worked with all 3 and can vouch for the quality.”
“EJ Jaxtimer EB Norris and Sons O’Neill Bowes Rogers and Marney Riley Construction Those are your luxury builders in the mid-cape.”
We love working with EB Norris and specifically Craig Ashworth. Great builder!
