## The honest read

Shawme Hill Corp Builders & Renovations is a general contractor and design-build firm based in Sandwich, on Cape Cod, working under a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC 184694) that the state registry verifies as active and held by Shawme Hill Corp.

Across more than three dozen reviews spanning Google, Houzz, Angi and BuildZoom from 2015 through 2026, homeowners consistently credit the same person, Kevin, for hands-on availability, clear communication and staying on top of a job from permitting through finish work. The praise is specific rather than generic: reviewers describe complete kitchen and bathroom remodels, an ADA-accessible bathroom conversion, a whole-house renovation of a 1925 summer cottage, a two-cottage-to-one-home conversion, and a complicated new build in a flood zone, and they name individual crew members and subcontractors, including carpenters Ian, Mike and Cam, a tiler, an electrician and a painter, who did the specialty work. Several customers came back for repeat jobs, including one who hired the company for a kitchen in 2014 and a bathroom in 2017, and another who says they have been a client for years.

That track record isn't uniform. In a 2016 Angi review a customer wrote only "Get EVERYTHING in writing, every DETAIL," rating the job 0.5 stars; Shawme Hill's public response says the signed contract covered only a tiled shower surround, that the customer chose and supplied the tile themselves, and that the company reached out three times afterward without a reply, a scope dispute rather than an admission of bad work, but one worth asking about directly. A 2017 BuildZoom reviewer says an initial contact was pleasant but a promised bid for a roofing project never arrived. And a 2022 Google review, unrelated to any renovation, accuses a company truck of speeding and flashing its high beams on the highway.

Outside those three items, the record is unusually deep and consistent for a small Cape Cod firm: a 4.7-star Google rating from 19 reviews, a 5.0 from 11 on Houzz, 4.6 from 13 on Angi and 4.5 from 4 on BuildZoom, an active, registry-verified HIC, and years of reviewers describing on-time, on-budget work with the same owner-operator leading every job. Ask directly about how scope changes get documented in writing, and this looks like a well-established, owner-led choice for a Cape Cod kitchen, bathroom or whole-house renovation.

**Strengths:**
- Owner-led responsiveness — reviewers across platforms and years credit Kevin personally
- Repeat and long-term clients — several customers hired them for multiple jobs over years
- Detailed kitchen and bathroom remodels — named subcontractors, on-time and on-budget outcomes cited
- Registry-verified license — active MA HIC 184694 held by Shawme Hill Corp
- Complex builds handled — flood-zone construction and multi-story additions praised

**Concerns:**
- Unanswered bid request — one prospective customer says a promised bid never arrived
- Scope dispute on one job — a shower-surround disagreement drew a 0.5-star review
- Vehicle conduct complaint — a 2022 review alleges aggressive highway driving by a company truck

**Where sources disagree:**
- BuildZoom lists an older HIC number (164936) as inactive/cancelled alongside the currently active HIC 184694 that the state registry verifies — this reads as a superseded prior registration, not a change in current licensing status.
