J. Morse Construction

J Morse & Sons, trading online as J. Morse Construction, works out of 25 Andrews St in East Falmouth on Cape Cod. Angi's listing puts the business at about 16 years in operation, and HomeAdvisor states it is veteran-owned and operated. Reviews consistently name the on-site contact as "Jeff." The written record, spanning Google, Angi, and HomeAdvisor from 2019 through 2026, centers on roofing, siding, and trim carpentry. A June 2026 Google review describes a full roof replacement with added attic ventilation and calls the crew professional from the first call to completion. A 2020 review recounts a full re-siding job with pre-stained cedar shingles and wood trim replacement in detail, praising the workmanship as impeccable, and a 2019 review credits the crew with correctly repairing chimney flashing that a previous contractor had installed wrong. Several other reviewers from 2020-2022 describe quick, fair quotes and steady communication on smaller jobs like entrance-step replacement and shed reroofing. That record is not unbroken. A December 2025 HomeAdvisor review alleges that in altering the roof's drip-edge design during a job, the contractor sealed up attic airflow, which the reviewer says caused moisture buildup and mold, and that the contractor then would not schedule a fix -- the reviewer describes pursuing legal action over an estimated $20,000 in damage. It is the most recent and most detailed complaint on file, sitting alongside an otherwise strongly positive record: Angi shows 4.8 stars from 10 reviews, HomeAdvisor 4.5 stars from 11 (HomeAdvisor's own FAQ text separately states 4.9 stars, which does not match its own badge). Angi's listing also carries a self-reported Massachusetts trade license (#177164, expiring May 2027) -- a directory claim, not something verified against the state registry in this evidence. For roofing, siding, or trim work on Cape Cod, the praised jobs read as genuine and detailed, but the December 2025 complaint is serious enough that anyone considering similar work should ask directly about it and about how ventilation and moisture issues are handled.
