Gable Building Corporation has been building custom homes on Cape Cod from its Chatham office since 1981, and the clients writing about it aren't first-timers — several have hired the company for a second, third, or even a decade-spanning string of projects. One client who first hired Gable in 2002 to build a waterfront vacation home in Chatham said they've kept coming back for remodels ever since; another, on their third whole-house renovation with the company, credited project managers Mike Squier and Brandy Haislet with managing the budget carefully enough to finish the project as planned. The specific jobs described are substantial: a major remodel and addition to a Windmill cottage in Hyannis Port, a from-scratch custom dream house built with close attention to the owners' wishes, and, for another repeat client, two full houses built over the years. Reviewers consistently mention Jim Gable and his team being professional, responsive, and willing to meet on-site when something needed a look in person. The one real caution in the written record, raised in a 2019 review from a client who'd used the company for close to two decades: Gable isn't cheap. That's the honest tradeoff for a firm handling multi-million-dollar custom builds and historic restorations, not a complaint about the work itself. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor license, #182816, is active and verified against the state registry, and it carries a Better Business Bureau A+ rating (it isn't BBB-accredited). This is a strong option for a serious custom build, whole-house renovation, or historic restoration on Cape Cod — budget for a premium price and expect the kind of long-term relationship its repeat clients describe.

Mike Squier and Brandy Haislet are the team that keep Gable running. They are the most professional and competent construction experts we've ever dealt with. (This was our third whole house renovation.) They managed the budget with great conscientiousness and completed the project in a very timely manner. They were also a joy to deal with - highly knowledgeable and all-around great people. We could not be more pleased, and highly recommend Gable!
Very good communication about progress and plenty of lead time on project requirements and items to supply like tile choices and hardware, paint colors and light fixtures. On sight meetings when needed with follow up notes. Good communication between architect and builder
Back in 2002 we used Gable to build us a beautiful waterfront vacation home in Chatham. Since then we've continued to use them for several remodelings. These guys (and gals) are very good and I'm sure we will be using them again. (They are not inexpensive, however, which is the only reason we did not give them five stars.) -Preston and Candice
Gable Builders created our house for us and it was a true pleasure to work with them on it. We planned our dream house and now we love living in it full-time. Gable worked closely with us to plan every detail. They were extremely attentive to our wishes and advised us in a very helpful way to achieve our vision. It was exciting to work with them, They did whatever it took to satisfy our requests. Their workers are amazing professionals, friendly and responsive. The house is truly top-end in every way. Perhaps best of all, the Gable team remains responsive to our house-related questions and concerns a couple years after the project was completed.
I have worked with Gable Building Corp on two projects. One was a major remodel and addition to a Windmill cottage in Hyannis Port and the other was a garage remodel and various maintenance items. I find the company easy to work with and very forthcoming with estimates and other information pertaining to the projects. I also appreciated that they would find a cost effective approach to the situation. I would use this company again.
