J.P. Caprio Builders, Inc.

J.P. Caprio Builders works out of 110 Breeds Hill Road in Hyannis as a design-build firm — it draws the plans, then builds them — covering Cape Cod and the Islands, the South Shore and MetroWest Boston, with its own cabinetry and millwork shop alongside property-management, real-estate brokerage, snow-plowing and dumpster-rental arms (E462767, E462773). It is run by Jesse Caprio as president and Paul Caprio as general manager, and describes itself as a family company (E462769, E462770). The firm's registration is real and current: MA home improvement contractor registration 200093 is registry-verified active with J.P. Caprio Builders, Inc. as the holder of record (E462815). BuildZoom lists eight licence numbers against the company and scores it 104, the 91st percentile of 139,240 licensed Massachusetts contractors, with the licence verified active when it last checked (E462811). The BBB rates it A+ without accreditation (E462790). What the permit record shows is where this company actually spends its time: large Cape renovations. BuildZoom holds 70 projects, with seven in the past three years, mostly multi-room remodels and additions — among them a $1.8M addition and renovation at 94 Corporation Road in Dennis in 2023, a $1.2M second-floor addition at 49 Nobscussett Road in Dennis the same year, and a new single-family home on an existing foundation at 123 Deep Hole Road in Harwich Port in 2022 (E462811, E462802). The customer record is much thinner than the permit record. Three reviews, all from 2023, all five stars. One homeowner described Jesse as the general contractor on their job and called him pleasant, responsive, knowledgeable and honest (E462812). Another wrote that the crew always arrived on time and left the property in better order daily, with no shortcut taken (E462813). A third, in March 2023, said four families in their immediate neighbourhood had contracted the company for major renovations and that the neighbours with finished projects were delighted with quality, value and schedule (E462814). Two things are worth asking about. Tenure is stated two different ways: the company says 50 years across three generations, while the BBB records 16 years, a business start date of 2010 and incorporation in 2019 (E462771, E462792). And the ownership of record differs by source — BuildZoom names Paul Caprio as owner, the BBB names Jesse Caprio as president (E462811, E462792). Neither is a red flag on its own; both are reasonable questions for a first conversation. A sensible call for a substantial Cape or South Shore renovation or a custom build where design and construction under one roof matters. Ask which of the eight listed licence numbers covers your specific job, and for references from a project of comparable size in the last two years, since the published reviews stop in 2023.
