# Phifer Builders **Trade:** Carpentry · **Address:** 75 Commercial St, Wellfleet, MA 02667 · **Phone:** (413) 530-0736 · **Website:** http://www.phiferbuilders.com/about_us.html · **Languages:** English **Rating: 2.9/5** (low confidence) — from 1 reviews across 4 sources. ## The honest read Phifer Builders is a father-son shop built around custom cabinetry and hand-crafted woodworking, with its Cape Cod office at 75 Commercial Street in Wellfleet. Stephen Phifer, who says he has spent more than 35 years building fine homes and cabinetry, now runs the business alongside his son Jonathan, taking on design-build projects that range from custom cabinetry to additions, remodeling, and renovation and restoration work. The company also operates a Central Massachusetts location in Brimfield. There is not much of a public record to go on yet. The one dated review found, a 2023 Google rating, does not describe any actual project; instead it notes that Phifer Builders "no longer does work out on the Cape" and had relocated to Central Mass. That sits oddly against the company's current website, which still lists the Wellfleet address as an active Cape Cod location, so it is worth confirming directly whether they are still taking on Cape jobs before planning gets too far along. Its Houzz profile, filed under the Brimfield address, has no reviews at all, and lists a Massachusetts license number (013975) that has not been verified against the state registry. If the cabinetry work and design-build approach appeal, it is a reasonable name to call, just confirm they are actually covering your Cape Cod town today, and ask to see recent, completed local projects since there is not a review history to lean on. **Strengths:** - Custom cabinetry focus — self-described 35+ years of hand-crafted woodworking - Father-son operation — same two-person team since founding, per its own site **Concerns:** - Cape presence unclear — a 2023 review said they'd left for Central Mass - Unverified license — company cites #013975 but no registry confirmation on file **Where sources disagree:** - The current website lists an active Wellfleet, Cape Cod office, but a 2023 Google review said the business had already relocated off-Cape to Central Massachusetts. ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Father-son team led by Stephen and Jonathan Phifer, self-reported 35+ years of building and cabinetry experience _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.phiferbuilders.com) — “Company history (self-reported): Stephen Phifer founded Phifer Builders; he and his son Jonathan run the company together, drawing on more t…” - [Official Website](http://www.phiferbuilders.com) — “Ownership (self-reported): Founded by Stephen Phifer; run together with his son Jonathan” - Operates two locations: a Cape Cod office in Wellfleet and a Central Massachusetts office in Brimfield _(confidence: medium)_ - [Official Website](http://www.phiferbuilders.com) — “Phifer Builders is a father-son custom home building and cabinetry company, based in Wellfleet on Cape Cod (and Brimfield in Central Massach…” - A 2023 Google review states the business no longer works on Cape Cod and relocated to Central Massachusetts, conflicting with the current website's Wellfleet listing _(confidence: medium)_ - [Google Reviews](https://www.google.com/maps/reviews/data=!4m8!14m7!1m6!2m5!1sChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUQ1NE5lVjJRRRAB!2m1!1s0x0:0xc8f0a6af6abaa20d!3m1!1s2@1:CIHM0ogKEICAgID54NeV2QE%7C%7C?hl=en) — “5★ No longer does work out on the Cape.
