Mike Smith Builder & Remodeling is a general contractor and remodeler based on Route 6A in Orleans, Massachusetts. According to its BBB profile, the company was established in 1977 and incorporated in Massachusetts in 2005; BuildZoom's records name Michael (C) Smith as the operator. The one detailed, written account on file is a 2017 Google review from a homeowner who hired the team for a full renovation of an older townhome in a waterfront community in Brewster, MA, from planning through delivery. The reviewer called the cost reasonable and the quality superb, said the crew finished ahead of schedule with little punch-list work left, and described everyone on the team as professional and courteous. Separately, BuildZoom's building-permit records show the company pulled 38 permits between 2005 and 2023, mostly in Orleans and Harwich, pointing to a long, active local history even though only this one written review survives online. Before booking, confirm the company's current Home Improvement Contractor license directly with the state: Massachusetts's own registry shows HIC 191640, held by Mike Smith Building & Remodeling, Inc., as expired. BuildZoom's own page is inconsistent about it, one section calling it a 'General Contractor license' expiring mid-2024 and another marking it 'Inactive' and saying it 'was at one point cancelled', so it is worth asking the business directly for its current standing. The company is also not a BBB-accredited business, though its BBB file carries an A+ letter grade. For a homeowner on the outer Cape weighing a full renovation, addition, kitchen or bath remodel, or a deck or porch project, this is a business with a long operating history and one strongly positive, detailed customer account, but license status that needs confirming before signing a contract.
We bought an exiting older town home in a waterfront community in Brewster MA. The entire team at Mike Smith Bulder and Remodeling did an absolutely faboulus job of completely and extensively renovating the town home - from planning to delivery. The cost was reasonable and the quality was superb. They also provided some very thoughtful and helpful suggestions that greatly enhanced our summer home. There was very little in the way of remedial punch and we were able to occupy the townhome well ahead of schedule. Everyone on the team was professional, courteous and thoughtful of our home. Having spent four decades in the development buinsess in the Metro DC area I would put these folks on par with the finest builders in that region. If you are looking at any any building or renovation project you are well advise to contact Mike Smith Bulder and Remodeling.
