**Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** Hyannis Port, MA 02647 · **Phone:** (508) 790-5880 · **Languages:** English

**Rating: 1.4/5** (low confidence) — from 1 reviews across 5 sources.

## The honest read

Nickerson Home Improvement works out of Hyannis Port, taking on additions, dormers, second stories, decks, roofing, siding, windows, and kitchen and bath work across Cape Cod — that is the company's own service list on Houzz. Town building departments have logged roughly 209 permits pulled under its name since around 2017, spread across towns from Harwich to Provincetown, pointing to real ongoing volume of work.

What's harder to find is anyone vouching for that work. In a December 2023 Google review, a homeowner described a year-long wait for Nickerson to finish replacing their windows, with roof shingles installed over a bay window that didn't match the rest of the roof because the right ones weren't in stock locally — the customer says repeated calls, texts and emails got no resolution. Google shows a 4★ average from just two ratings, but that one written account is the only review text behind either number.

Before booking, it's worth asking directly about the company's contractor registration: BuildZoom's most recent check of Massachusetts's records, in July 2026, found the General Contractor license (#120424) revoked, and lists two more Home Improvement Contractor numbers (#144477, #133851) as inactive. Confirm current licensing and insurance yourself, and ask for recent references — despite the permit volume, almost no customer feedback is on record anywhere.

**Strengths:**
- High permit volume — 209 Cape Cod building permits pulled since 2017

**Concerns:**
- Revoked contractor license — BuildZoom's July 2026 check found HIC/GC #120424 revoked
- Unfinished 2023 project — mismatched roof shingles and months of unresolved follow-up
- Additional lapsed licenses — two more Massachusetts HIC numbers listed inactive
- No collected reviews — 209 permits but zero customer reviews found elsewhere

**Where sources disagree:**
- Google shows a 4★ average from 2 ratings, but the only retrievable review text is a 3★ account describing a year-long unresolved job — the higher rating carries no written review
