Nickerson Home Improvement works out of a PO box in Orleans and has been pulling building permits across Cape Cod for years — 209 of them since roughly 2017, according to BuildZoom's permit history. Its Houzz profile says the company has served Cape Cod residents for many years, and lists a wide range of work: additions, dormers, second stories, garages, decks, basement finishing, roofing and siding, windows and doors, kitchen and bath remodeling, and painting. BuildZoom lists three Massachusetts licence numbers for the business: general contractor licence #120424 and home improvement contractor licences #144477 and #133851. Look each number up yourself on the state's register before you sign anything. A December 2023 homeowner gave three stars: a year after Nickerson replaced their windows, they were still waiting for the job to be finished, and the shingles put over the bay window didn't match the ones on the roof, which that reviewer put down to the matching shingles not being stocked at the Hyannis Home Depot. On Google the company averages 4 stars across 2 ratings. For an addition or an exterior job, this is a builder with years of Cape Cod permits behind it. Check the licence numbers with the state before signing, put a completion date and a punch list in the contract, and agree up front who sources the materials so the finishes match.

We had Nickerson replace the windows in our home a year ago, we are still waiting on them to finish the job. The shingles put over the bay window do not match the ones on our roof because they were not availible at the little Hyannis Home Depot but were availible at the Wareham store at the time of installation which took place months after contract was made to do the work. I have pointed this out to the company by phone, text and email, over the last year. The response (email which I still have) was for me to go to the Wareham store and purchase them myself at which time they would replace the shingles with the correct color. Well, I made the trip to Wareham HD purchased the shingles and pack of hip/ridge. Since then I have called and left several messages with an employee who said they would deliver the message and even confirmed the email about them replacing the shingles. I have had no call back or email about completing the work. The balance has been paid in full a year ago and I am not happy. Furthermore my wife is not happy that the new windows are hard to close all the way making it difficult for her to lock. Very sad because I want to support our hardworking local contractors and did like the attitude and work ethic of the crew that did the installation. Edit- they did come back and fix the shingles… and mailed us the little plastic track hole fillers for us to put on .
