Sixty-seven building permits, spread across seven Cape communities from Harwich Port out to Eastham and west to Centerville, sit on Patriot Builders' BuildZoom profile. The Harwich Port firm says it has been building since 1993, and describes what it does as design-build: custom homes, additions, remodels and kitchens, with a home-watch service for seasonal properties alongside. Christopher Childs has been the sole owner since 2019 by the company's account, after joining in 2003 and making partner in 2014. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #131751, is active on the state registry, and the Better Business Bureau has accredited it since 2001 at an A+ grade. The written accounts from customers are dated, and worth reading as history. A homeowner writing in 2020 said Patriot had built their house two years earlier, and described Childs as a partner who carried their concept plans from inception through completion — a good listener, responsive on any issue. A 2017 Houzz reviewer said the team listened to its clients and worked within their budgets, and a 2022 Google reviewer recommended the company for framing. Its Houzz profile carries 20 project photo sets from towns around the Cape, which is the easiest way to see the kind of houses it builds. On Google the company averages 4.4 stars across 7 ratings. Patriot suits a homeowner planning a new build or a substantial addition on the Cape — a job that runs months and needs one firm coordinating the trades. Before signing, ask to see a recently finished project and get the schedule and the allowance structure in writing.
Great Builders for framing. Led by Ben Jackson. Highly recommend by me.. update Ben is now part of UFPI group along with shawnLee and Exterior design. Their taking over the North east. My best to them..
Patriot built my home two years ago and did an exceptional job. Chris Childs and his team was an excellent partner in the process - taking my ideas/concept plans from inception through completion. Chris has the best demeanor – a great listener, very responsive on any issue that comes up, and just gets the job done the right way. Not living on the Cape at the time, it was important for me to work with an outfit that I could trust while I was not there to oversee, etc.. Having grown up in the construction/building trade, I know good workmanship when I see it – and his subcontracting team is outstanding from framing, millwork to paint. This year, I needed to expand and put up a garage with extra living space and it was an easy decision to use Patriot again – and again, the experience with Patriot is the same.
The team at Patriot is highly skilled, listens to their clients, and able to meet their budgets. They really know how to make the spaces functional and beautiful. Highly recommend this company!
