# On Cape Kitchens **Trade:** Bathroom Remodel · **Address:** Unit #8 4250 State Hwy, Eastham, MA 02642 · **Phone:** (508) 255-3788 · **Website:** http://www.oncapekitchens.com/ · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.2/5** (low confidence) — from 3 reviews across 7 sources. ## The honest read On Cape Kitchens is a kitchen and bathroom remodeling company run out of a North Eastham showroom by owner/designer Vern Hatt, who the state registry confirms as an active Home Improvement Contractor license holder. The business's own site says it has served Cape Cod since 1990, working from Eastham through Wellfleet, Truro, Provincetown, Orleans, Brewster, Harwich and Chatham, and describes Hatt as a Massachusetts licensed and insured builder with over 30 years in the trade. That license checks out: state registry records show Home Improvement Contractor license #177590 active and held by Vern A. Hatt, matching the name on the business's own site. The company also lists a Construction Supervisor license, #CS62739, by its own account, though that particular number is self-reported rather than registry-verified. Customer feedback is thin but positive. In a 2021 Google review, a homeowner called the owner "a seasoned professional with boatloads of top shelf work," describing the operation as "first class" and "easy to deal with" -- the only written account currently on file. On Cape Kitchens also has profiles on Houzz, showing two projects and a Houzz Badge but no reviews yet, and on Angi, also with no reviews yet, so there isn't a broader track record to draw on beyond that one comment and the verified license. Worth asking about before booking: the company's own materials aren't consistent on how long it's been around -- its site says "Since 1990," its Houzz profile's area-served text says "since 1980," and its Angi profile states "14 years of experience" -- so it's worth confirming tenure directly. With only one dated review to go on, it's also worth asking for recent references or photos of finished work. On Cape Kitchens is a reasonable call for a homeowner on the Lower or Outer Cape who wants a kitchen or bathroom remodel from a state-licensed local shop, but the thin, older review record means it's worth verifying current capacity and recent work directly before booking. **Strengths:** - Verified HIC license — active MA registration matches owner Vern Hatt - Positive 2021 review — called a seasoned professional with top shelf work **Concerns:** - Thin review history — one 2021 review, no reviews yet on Houzz or Angi - Inconsistent tenure claims — site, Houzz and Angi state different start dates **Where sources disagree:** - Three different tenure claims: the business's own site says 'Since 1990' (36 years), its Houzz profile's area-served text says 'since 1980', and its Angi profile states '14 years of experience.' ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license #177590 is registry-verified ACTIVE, held by Vern A.
