Grade A Home Services is a small carpentry and handyman outfit working out of South Dennis, on the Cape's mid-Cape stretch. Its Better Business Bureau file lists carpentry, general residential repairs, and handyman projects as what it does, and that matches what customers say they hired it for. The written record is short but consistent: three Google reviews, all five stars, posted between 2018 and 2019. In a 2018 review, a South Dennis homeowner called on a Friday afternoon needing a small carpentry job and had it finished by Saturday noon — an employee at Mid-Cape Improvement had recommended the owners, Phelix and Tim, by name. A 2019 reviewer who says they've gone through many carpentry companies over the years ranked Grade A ahead of the rest on quality and price, and another 2019 review credits the crew with handling both renovations and repairs at a home and a business, and leaving the job site clean each time. Its BBB file backs that up with an A+ grade and 11 years in business, though the company isn't a BBB-accredited business. Worth checking before booking: the state's contractor registry shows a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor registration on file for the company (#187995) that has since expired, so it's worth confirming current registration status directly with the company. Grade A also runs a Houzz page listing a long menu of remodeling categories, from kitchens and baths to framing and siding, but that page shows no completed reviews and just one project photo set — the real track record points to carpentry- and handyman-scale jobs rather than large remodels. A reasonable call for a homeowner who needs a carpenter who answers the phone and shows up fast for a discrete repair, less so for anyone shopping for a full-scale remodeling firm with a deep, verifiable project history.
Grade A home services so far is the best carpentry company that I have worked with, and trust me iv'e went through many of them and none of them were even close to grade A !!... talking about great quality of work with affordable price!! trust me this company really lives up to its name..
I have had Grade A Home Services do multiple renovations and repairs to both my business location and my home. I’m not the type of person that writes reviews but I need to mention to the world how much I appreciate the folks at this company. Not only do they go above and beyond in their work, they are affordable, professional, polite, respectful, reliable, and they even leave the job site cleaned up once they are done. There is nothing worse for me than to come home to a dirty house in the middle of a renovation after having worked a long day, and to my pleasant surprise, I have come home to a clean house. This speaks volumes of their spirit of excellence, and the pride they have in their work. I would recommend them to anybody out there!
Highly recommended. Needed a small carpentry job done at my house in South Dennis on short notice. An employee at Mid-Cape Improvement store recommended Phelix and Tim at Grade A Home Improvement. Called them Friday afternoon and explained what I needed done, they came over Saturday and were finished by noon. Very hardworking and professional, came prepared with all of the right tools and I was very satisfied with the job. Will be using them again!
