# Falmouth Home Improvements **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** 23 Morris St, Teaticket, MA 02536 · **Phone:** (508) 364-0006 · **Website:** https://falmouthhomeimprovements.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.1/5** (low confidence) — from 2 reviews across 6 sources. ## The honest read Falmouth Home Improvements is a Teaticket-based carpentry and remodeling contractor owned by Frank Slaman, describing itself as a coastal-focused firm doing siding/trim, decks, roofing, custom finish work, and basement refinishing around Falmouth and the surrounding Cape. Both required Massachusetts licenses — a Home Improvement Contractor registration (#177674) and a Construction Supervisor License (#091167) — show as active with 2026 expiration dates on BBB's and BuildZoom's registry-sourced listings, matching the numbers the company lists on its own site. The public account is thin and not reassuring. In an August 2025 review, a customer described poor workmanship on a one-car garage shingling job along with payment, quality, and scheduling problems serious enough that they told other homeowners to call a different contractor. The company isn't BBB accredited and carries an unspecified alert on its BBB file; a separate BuildZoom profile tied to the same phone number and license numbers, but a different Falmouth-area address, also shows an unexplained 'unpaid debt' alert with no further detail available. Its only other review on file, a 5-star rating from 2016, reads more like an unanswered inquiry ('Left message - I have not reached back out') than a completed job, so it doesn't add much confidence either way. For carpentry, remodeling, or roofing work with Falmouth Home Improvements, the licenses check out, but the one detailed customer account on file and the unresolved BBB and BuildZoom alerts are worth asking about directly before signing a contract. **Strengths:** - Both required MA licenses check out — HIC and construction supervisor registrations active through 2026 **Concerns:** - Serious complaint on file — a 2025 review cited poor workmanship, payment, and scheduling issues - Unresolved account alerts — BBB and BuildZoom both flag unspecified issues with no detail given - Thin review history — only two written accounts span nearly a decade **Where sources disagree:** - BuildZoom lists a profile matching this business by phone and both license numbers but at a different Falmouth-area address (53 Lake Shore Dr, East Falmouth) than BBB's listed address (23 Morris St, Teaticket) — likely the same business, but worth confirming. - The 2016 BuildZoom review carries a 5-star rating but its text ('Left message - I have not reached back out') reads like an unanswered inquiry rather than a completed job. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Home Improvement Contractor registration #177674 shows active with a 10/31/2026 expiration on independent BBB and BuildZoom listings, matching the self-reported number _(confidence: high)_ - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/falmouth-home-improvements) — “Licence listed on BuildZoom: HIC #177674 — Home Improvement Contractor, Massachusetts, Status Active (BuildZoom-verified as of March 2026)” - [Official Website](https://falmouthhomeimprovements.com) — “Self-reported license/registration number (NOT verified against any registry): HIC #177674” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/teaticket/profile/building-contractors/falmouth-home-improvements-0021-557690) — “Licence listed on Better Business Bureau: License #177674, issued by Massachusetts Board of Building Regulations and Standards (BBRS), expir…” - [Better Business Bureau](https://www.bbb.org/us/ma/teaticket/profile/building-contractors/falmouth-home-improvements-0021-557690) — “BBB business-details page for Falmouth Home Improvements (23 Morris St, Teaticket, MA;
