John Lopes & Sons Construction Corp

John Lopes & Sons Construction Corp is a Falmouth, Massachusetts outfit built primarily around hardscape and concrete work — patios, retaining walls, paver driveways, and especially stamped concrete — serving towns from Sandwich to Barnstable. The company holds an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, verified against the state registry, and says on its own site that it's been part of the Falmouth community since 1986. The strongest, most consistent thread across the reviews is recent: twelve Google reviews, all five stars, most from the past year, repeatedly praise punctuality, quality workmanship, and being easy to reach by phone. A 2026 review credited John Lopes with collaborative design work on kitchen, bath, and laundry quartz countertops and cabinetry hardware, calling the process detail-oriented and quick. Older Houzz reviews from 2020 and 2021 describe larger backyard projects — a stamped concrete patio and pool build, a new paver driveway, a front-walkway-and-patio redo — with reviewers specifically noting care taken to protect existing landscaping and a crew recommended to them by neighbors who'd used Lopes for their own hardscape work. There's a real concern worth knowing about before signing anything, though: two separate Houzz reviews, one from 2019 and another from 2021, describe paying a deposit for stamped concrete work and then having the crew never show up, with calls going unreturned. Both complaints describe nearly identical circumstances — a deposit for stamped concrete, a no-show, and trouble reaching anyone afterward. Nothing similar turns up in the several years of reviews since, but the pattern is specific enough, and serious enough, that anyone considering stamped concrete work in particular should ask pointed questions about scheduling and get firm commitments in writing before putting down money. Houzz also lists the company for a broad range of hardscape and masonry services — patios, retaining walls, stone masonry, concrete driveways, foundations — with 76 projects shown on its profile, and the company's own site claims a wider scope covering custom home building and full remodeling as well. For a patio, driveway, or retaining wall, the recent stretch here is strong. For anything involving a deposit and a start date months out, it's worth a frank conversation first.
