JOHN G EARLY CONTRACTOR & BUILDER

John G. Early Contractor & Builder is a Vineyard Haven, Massachusetts general contractor that has built and renovated homes across Martha's Vineyard since 1975. Founded by longtime Island builder John G. Early, the company has been owned by Scott Stearns, its principal, since 2013, and it also operates as Pyramid Property Management, handling upkeep on Vineyard summer homes. The company holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (#180184), registry-verified under its own name. The business focuses on new home construction, historic restorations, and custom renovations, along with general contracting and house framing, and describes itself as managing every phase of a project from foundation work through interior finishing. Its scale of work shows in the record: in 2022, it sold a newly built home at 1005 State Road in West Tisbury for $2.95 million, and it carries an A+ Better Business Bureau rating (the business has not sought BBB accreditation). BuildZoom's own records show several additional Massachusetts HIC numbers on file for the business beyond the one the state registry has on record; separately, its automated summary states 16 years in the building industry, which doesn't match the company's own account of a 1975 founding. For a homeowner considering a larger custom build, addition, or historic renovation on Martha's Vineyard, John G. Early's long track record and registry-verified licensing are reassuring — it's worth asking directly about current licensing status and getting references for a project of the intended scope.
