Heirloom Builders, LLC

Heirloom Builders is a Gloucester general contractor and custom home builder working Cape Ann and the North Shore — Ipswich, Rockport, Essex, Manchester, Beverly — with a focus on fine renovations, historic home restoration and preservation, additions, custom cabinetry and kitchen and bath remodeling. Owner Alex Egmont is on site overseeing each project himself, and the company says it's been operating since 2012. Its written record, 11 Google reviews from 2021 through 2024, mostly runs to short but consistent praise for Alex personally — responsive, hands-on, and reliable about finishing on time and doing things the right way. Two older reviews give a fuller picture: in a 2021 review, a repeat client described working with Alex's team across repairs, rehabs, additions and new construction and called them organized and hard-working; another 2021 review described projects ranging from large-scale building management to designing and building custom furniture, cabinetry and millwork, and called the crew consistently honest and responsive across multiple jobs. Its BBB page shows an A+ grade — the business isn't accredited — with BBB listing it as in business since 2013, close to the 2012 start the company's own site states. There's no negative review in the record. For a historic-home renovation or a project that calls for custom cabinetry alongside the build, Heirloom Builders has a small but consistent track record with the same owner named throughout.
