## The honest read

J.E. Hooper Builders is a Pocasset-area home builder and remodeler whose profiles describe kitchen and bathroom remodeling, additions, custom homes, finish carpentry, and new-home construction. BBB lists 37 years in business and an A+ grade, while the company's Houzz profile says it was established in 1989 and shows four projects.

Homeowners' written reviews are mostly older, spanning 2010 through 2023, but they consistently describe finished work and dependable project handling. A 2023 Google reviewer said Jim renovated a Cataumet home well and was easy to work with; a 2021 Angi reviewer praised two rebuilt stair sets as excellent, reasonably priced, and completed on time. Other dated reviews describe bathroom remodeling, crown molding, finish trim, stairs, insulation, retiling, siding, and exterior support work, with repeated praise for punctuality, cleanliness, communication, and quality.

Before booking, confirm the current license position and project scope. The Massachusetts registry lists HIC 157396 for J.E. Hooper Builders LLC as expired, while Angi and HomeAdvisor display self-reported CS-050827 information expiring August 30, 2026. Those are different records and should not be treated as equivalent. The directory addresses also vary between Pocasset and Marion, so confirm the contracting entity, current address, insurance, license, schedule, and which portions of a remodel are subcontracted.

This is a sensible candidate for a Cape renovation, finish-carpentry project, addition, or custom-home conversation when the written scope and current credentials check out. Ask for recent comparable work and a current estimate before signing.

**Strengths:**
- Finish carpentry — repeated praise for trim, stairs, and molding
- On-time projects — reviewers repeatedly mention dependable schedules
- Remodeling range — bathrooms, kitchens, additions, and custom homes
- Work quality — dated reviews describe careful, high-quality finished work

**Concerns:**
- License status — state HIC 157396 record is listed expired
- License records — directory CS-050827 differs from state HIC record
- Current scope — confirm entity, address, insurance, and subcontractors

**Where sources disagree:**
- The state registry lists HIC 157396 for J.E. Hooper Builders LLC as expired, while Angi and HomeAdvisor display self-reported CS-050827 expiring 2026-08-30; these are different records.
- BBB and Houzz identify Pocasset, while Angi/HomeAdvisor show Marion contact information.
- BBB states 37 years in business, Houzz states 30 years of experience, and Angi/HomeAdvisor state 28 years; these directory figures differ.
