Spencer & Company is a Chatham-based custom home builder now in its second generation — founded by Ted Spencer, who spent 43 years building the company after summers in Chatham as a kid, before handing the reins to his son Matt as CEO in 2022. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, held under E.H. Spencer & Company LLC, is verified active, and Houzz lists typical job costs of $250,000 to $6,000,000 — the high end of residential construction. What comes through in every review is Matt Spencer's own presence on site. A 2024 reviewer describes him as always on the job, overseeing every detail with an attention that's 'rare and refreshing,' and unwilling to let anything short of his own standard slide, even if it means having work redone. Another, describing a major renovation, wrote that the carpenters and subcontractors he assembled were uniformly 'top-notch,' with no shortcuts taken. A 2019 Houzz review — the company's oldest on record — put it plainly: 'It's rare to have a business where the owners are also the ones on site, building the house as well.' The work described spans full additions and kitchen remodels, complete home rebuilds and expansions, and complex custom construction managed alongside outside architects and designers. Two 2020 Cape Cod Life features cover an 11-month renovation that turned a Chatham home into a mid-century-modern showpiece, and a separate Cape Cod Bay renovation the magazine says 'feels like new construction in every sense' after the owners chose to renovate rather than tear down. Google shows a 4.6-star average from 11 ratings. Given the scale of the projects described — additions, gut renovations and full home rebuilds rather than smaller repair jobs — it's worth confirming project size and timeline expectations align with what Spencer typically takes on.
“Their optimism regarding the home’s endless possibilities led to an 11-month renovation led by Matt Spencer of Spencer & Company, transforming the house into the haven of mid-century modern style that it is today.”
“But thanks to the homeowners’ decision to renovate, rather than tear down, and the hard work of Ted and Matt Spencer of Spencer & Company and their team, custom home builders based in Chatham, the house on the Bay feels like new construction in every sense”
We used Spencer and Co for an addition and full kitchen remodel, and every step of the process was great. Excellent communication regarding budget, timing, expectations for completion (they delivered on time!) and helping us think through materials and design choices. Matt and his crew were always on time, respectful of our family's needs (we were living in the house during the work) and left a clean job site. The work itself is impeccable - we get compliments on our new space all the time. We will absolutely use them again, these are the kinds of builders you hope for when undertaking something as important as your family's home.
Spencer & Company was so incredible to work with on our kitchen remodel. They not only delivered amazing quality but listened, advised and included us throughout the process. Excellent communication and craftsmanship. The entire crew was professional, respectful and helpful whenever we had questions. Highly recommend!
Working with Spencer and Company has been an exceptional experience. Matt Spencer's dedication to his craft is truly unmatched. He is always present on the job site, overseeing every aspect of the project with an attention to detail that is both rare and refreshing. Matt ensures that every element of the architect’s plans is brought to life with precision and care. His commitment to quality is unwavering—if something doesn’t meet his high standards, he’s not afraid to have it adjusted to ensure the final product is perfect. This isn’t about being difficult; it’s about maintaining the integrity of the project and delivering a result that exceeds expectations. For anyone looking to build or remodel with confidence on Cape Cod, knowing that their project is in the hands of someone who genuinely cares about every detail, Spencer and Company is the clear choice. The craftsmanship, professionalism, and passion Matt brings to each job are truly second to none.
After a thorough search of local companies and after speaking to several of their clients we selected Spencer and Company for our major renovation. The teams they brought together, from the carpenters to the subcontractors were top-notch and resulted in a smooth and stress-free experience. What really stood out was the quality of the craftsmanship and attention to detail. If something didn't look just right they didn't hesitate to make "it right" - no short-cuts! The whole process felt organized and well-thought-out and we couldn't be happier with how everything turned out. Matt, the owner, was always professional and took the time to be available to answer any questions or concerns we had - no matter how minuscule. Again I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Spencer & Co did an incredible job on our project. Their craftsmanship, attention to detail, and communication were excellent throughout the process. They took our vision and made it a reality beyond our expectations. Highly recommend for anyone seeking high-quality, custom work!
