Lewis Bay Builders describes itself on its website as a Cape Cod custom home builder handling custom homes, renovations and full rebuilds, and says Ed Stafford founded it in 1983. On Google it holds 4.9 stars from 23 ratings. A 2021 customer said their 50-year-old house was renovated and expanded by a 45% increase in living space, with a new HVAC system, one new and two renovated bathrooms, a new first floor laundry room, a new kitchen opened to a family room addition, a first floor bedroom addition and a full cellar expansion. That 2021 customer said Ed and his team allowed them to be involved in every decision. A 2024 customer said Lewis Bay renovated their Mashpee home: a full basement finish, the addition of a stairwell / entry to the basement, a rebuilt deck, an outdoor shower, updated living room built-ins and a gas fireplace. A 2024 customer whose planned builder vanished before their only bathroom was remodeled said Lewis Bay Builders came over right away, gave a price and started work within the following weeks. A 2024 customer said the company did a bathroom renovation and two kitchen renovations for them, at their first house and again after they moved. A 2024 customer said Lewis Bay Builders managed the complete rehab of their commercial space, from securing permits to scheduling. In a 2024 review, the owner of an electrical contracting company that works with Lewis Bay Builders named Ed and Jake as its owners. BuildZoom shows 11 sample permitted projects for the company in West Yarmouth. A 2024 customer gave three stars and said workers who came to replace their windows were all lined up in the house to use the bathroom, and that the owner needs to supply porta-potties.

“the barn has been thoughtfully restored and reimagined by Lewis Bay Builders , who approached the project with reverence for the barn’s historic origins.”
Simply the best you can get. Jake is professional, trustworthy and dedicated to making life easy for his clients. His team is highly skilled and detail oriented. Can’t recommend enough.
I have done some large scale masonry projects for this company and am not only impressed with the quality of the homes they build but the relationships they keep with their vendors. They are always checking in on the project in a positive way, incorporating the client into the project and always pay promptly. I will definitely be having them do work at my home in the future!
Lewis Bay renovated our Mashpee home and did a fantastic job. The work included a full basement finish, addition of a stairwell / entry to the basement, rebuilding a deck, adding an outdoor shower, updating the living room built-ins and adding a gas fireplace. Not only did they do a great job on the project, but Jake and his team went above and beyond addressing some weather-related challenges when we were away.
After meeting with several builders, we decided to work with Lewis Bay Builders regarding our cottage renovation. We are thrilled with the outcome. Ed and Jake Stafford did a great job and were open and honest throughout the process. Thank you Lewis Bay for making our “dream cottage” a reality. -The Speicher Family
