Goff Brothers Construction is a family-owned general contractor based in Orleans, on Cape Cod, that has been building and renovating homes since Jack Goff founded the company in 1979 with his brother Joe. His son John Goff took over as President in 2021 after growing up in the business, and today the company handles new home construction, additions, renovations and historic restoration, along with kitchen and bathroom remodeling. The company holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC #209338), verified directly against the state registry under its own corporate name. What customers who have hired them describe is hands-on, personally involved project management. One homeowner detailed how John Goff and his subcontractors turned a condemned, bank-owned house in Orleans into a fully renovated home, working through the intricacies of an older structure and accommodating changes along the way. Another reviewer simply says to use the Goff brothers "if you want it done right." Google shows a 4.7-star average from 6 ratings. Worth asking about before booking: the public review record here is thin — only two review bodies are retrievable online despite the company's decades in business, and its Houzz profile (which cites 35+ years of experience) has no reviews at all. That points more to how little of the company's history is documented on review platforms than to any problem with the work — ask for references from recent projects, especially larger renovations or historic work, to see more of that track record firsthand. Goff Brothers looks like a fit for Cape Cod homeowners taking on a substantial renovation, addition or new build who want a licensed, family-run outfit with decades of local history — just build out the reference check yourself given how little is posted publicly.
If you want it done right, use the Goff brothers. Great work!
My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting John Goff when we rented a home in Orleans a few years ago. That chance meeting was the beginning of a wonderful journey as a few months later we purchased a condemned bank-owned house that most would consider a teardown. With John's know-how, he and his sub-contractors helped bring back this home to all it's glory and then some! His team of professionals were all very pleasant and were able to work with the intricacies of an older home and add new spaces for a cohesive outcome. We made a few changes along the way and John was able to easily accommodate. John is straightforward, a clear communicator and great person to work with. We are so happy with the end-result -- the finished product is amazing!
