Ryley Builders

Ryley Builders has been building and remodeling homes on Cape Cod since 1978, and the company says it's still led by founder Bob Ryley, a second-generation carpenter whose father and uncle worked in construction around Boston. The crew works in finish carpentry and custom home building, either from a client's own plans or a full custom design. There's no customer-review history to lean on here, but Massachusetts building-permit records back up decades of real work: 66 permitted projects on file, with new activity as recent as 2025. Its Massachusetts construction-supervisor license and home-improvement-contractor registration are both active, verified against the state registry under Bob Ryley's name. Since there's no review record, the one thing worth doing before booking is asking for references directly and confirming current crew availability and timeline — the permit history shows steady, licensed work over decades, but nothing here says how a specific project actually went from a homeowner's side. Ryley Builders is a reasonable call for new construction or a substantial renovation on Cape Cod, Martha's Vineyard or Nantucket, backed by a long, licensed, permit-documented history — just get references first, since there's no review record to judge the work by otherwise.
