Toby Leary Fine Woodworking

Toby Leary Fine Woodworking is a Hyannis-based custom cabinetry and fine-woodworking shop that has grown into a full design-and-build outfit serving Cape Cod and the Islands. The company says it was founded in 2003 by Toby Leary, describes itself as family-owned, and says its cabinetmakers are Stiles factory-trained. It holds an active Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (HIC 143942) registered under its own corporate name, and Better Business Bureau records independently confirm the company was started February 2003 and carry an A+ letter grade, though it is not a BBB-accredited business. Every review on file is five stars, spanning 2012 through 2026. Recent Google reviews from 2026 single out a kitchen project handled by Ezra Leary and the crew, praising their responsiveness and craftsmanship and calling out completed punch-list items specifically. A separate set of Houzz reviews from 2012-2013 describe homeowners who first hired the company to build custom cabinetry and, in one case, brought it on as the general contractor to finish an entire home build. That range matches what the company and the Better Business Bureau both describe: a practice built around cabinetry, mantles, built-ins, wine cellars and staircases that has expanded into additions, kitchen and bathroom remodeling, and new-home construction — a mix Houzz's own long services list echoes, alongside Best of Houzz design and service awards from 2013 and 2014. Worth knowing before calling: two of the four Houzz reviews come from a real estate agent and from another general contracting firm rather than clearly identified homeowners, so they read more as professional endorsements than customer accounts. The overall sample is also modest — six Google ratings and four Houzz reviews on record — so the five-star record, while consistent across more than a decade, rests on a small number of accounts. This looks like a solid choice for Cape Cod homeowners who want custom cabinetry, millwork, or a design-build partner for a larger kitchen, bath, or addition project, backed by a verified active license and no complaints or negative record on file. It's worth asking about current lead times and a written scope, since the most detailed customer accounts on file date to 2012-2013.
