Patriot Builders Inc

Patriot Builders is a design-build general contractor based in Harwich Port, tracing back to 1993 and now solely owned by Christopher Childs, who joined in 2003 and took full ownership in 2019. The company builds custom homes, additions, remodels and kitchens across Cape Cod, and separately offers home-watch and concierge services for seasonal properties through a self-reported Certified Home Watch Professional credential. The written record, while limited to three reviews, is genuinely positive. In a 2020 review, a homeowner credited Chris Childs personally for guiding a custom home build from concept through completion, calling him responsive and a strong listener throughout the process. A 2017 Houzz review similarly praised the team's skill, listening and ability to meet client budgets while making spaces functional. A 2022 Google review is harder to read as a straightforward service account: it praises the company's framing work under a lead named Ben Jackson, then notes Jackson has since moved on to a different company, raising a question about whether that specific framing talent is still with Patriot today. The company's licensing is solid. The state registry verifies HIC license #131751 as currently active, and BuildZoom independently confirms the same license while also showing an older, separate license (#124645) as inactive. BuildZoom's permit records show 67 building permits pulled across Harwich, Harwich Port, West Harwich, Eastham, Dennis, West Yarmouth and Centerville, though it records zero customer reviews of its own. The company also carries a BBB A+ grade and has been BBB-accredited since 2001, with 33 years in business. Anyone considering Patriot Builders for a custom home, addition or remodel should ask directly about current framing staffing given the 2022 review, and should expect to lean on the company's permit history and BBB standing more than a deep bench of written reviews, since only three are on file.
