## The honest read

JAE Building will swap a doorknob or take on a full addition — and on Cape Cod, it's the addition and whole-house work that draws the praise. Run by Joshua Eldredge, the company works both directly for homeowners and as a sub for other general contractors.

A family room addition is the standout: a homeowner writing in December 2024 said Josh and Victor left them fully satisfied with the finished room, calling the crew knowledgeable, responsive, and professional. Other reviewers from the same December wrote about crews that showed up on time, worked hard, and finished the job as promised, and described Josh himself as honest, an effective problem solver, and a clear communicator running an experienced, dependable crew.

That praise sits next to a real complaint. A Better Business Bureau review reports the company measured a customer's windows incorrectly, leaving them too small for their openings, on a job that also covered siding and roofing. It's a costly kind of mistake to fix after the fact, and worth asking directly how a callback would be handled.

Two things about the company's paperwork are worth knowing. Its website lists Dennis as its home base, while its Better Business Bureau and BuildZoom listings both show a Brewster street address — same phone number throughout, so this reads as one business, likely just two ways of describing where it operates. And BBB's file on the company was only opened in March 2026, listing it as under six months old, even though the Google reviews praising its work go back to December 2024.

Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active, verified directly against the state registry — the same license number BuildZoom shows for the company. BuildZoom also credits it with three permitted jobs stretching back to 2017 (a shingle repair, a second-floor window replacement, and a siding job), though it hasn't collected any reviews of its own.

For an addition or a larger renovation, the reviews point to a crew that communicates well and finishes on schedule. For window work specifically, it's worth confirming measurements up front given the one detailed complaint on file.

**Strengths:**
- Family room addition — homeowner reports full satisfaction with the finished result
- Punctual, hard-working crews — reviewers cite on-time arrivals and finished jobs
- Clear communication — owner described as honest and an effective problem solver
- Verified state license — Massachusetts HIC registration confirmed active

**Concerns:**
- Window measurements — a BBB review reports windows installed too small for openings

**Where sources disagree:**
- Website lists the business in Dennis, MA while BBB and BuildZoom show a Brewster, MA street address (26 Agassiz St); same phone number throughout, so this reads as one business with two stated locations, not a different one
- BBB's file was opened in March 2026 and describes the business as under six months old, while its Google reviews praising completed work are dated December 2024, over a year earlier
