## The honest read

Tupper Construction is a West Yarmouth firm run by Rick Tupper, doing business on Cape Cod for decades — BBB records show it's been operating since 1989, though the company's own website says 20-plus years. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is verified active, and BuildZoom's permit records show more than 1,000 completed projects, the large majority insulation and weatherization jobs done through the MassSave energy program.

Only three written reviews are on file, spanning 2022 to 2024, but they're detailed and consistent. In a 2022 review, a homeowner named four crew members by name — Isaah, Connor, Felix and Don — who showed up early and worked straight through a MassSave-driven insulation job, calling the work top-notch. A 2023 review described a similarly thorough, courteous crew and looked forward to lower heating and cooling bills as a result. A 2024 review, with Felix's crew again, described a job where every step was explained up front and the site was left clean.

The company's website also markets broader remodeling and new-home-building services — kitchens, baths, additions, whole houses — though none of the written reviews describe that kind of project directly, so the insulation and weatherization work is the better-tested part of the business. Houzz also lists a different address for the company than the one used elsewhere, though the phone number, website and license number all line up, so it looks like an outdated directory record rather than a different business.

For an insulation or weatherization job on the Cape, especially one tied to a MassSave audit, Tupper has a long operating history and a currently active state registration behind it; for a larger remodel or new build, it's worth asking to see examples of that specific kind of work.

**Strengths:**
- Consistent crew — reviewers over three years name the same staff members
- Early, thorough crews — reviewers describe full workdays on MassSave insulation jobs
- Active state license — Massachusetts registry verifies the HIC registration as active
- Deep permit history — BuildZoom shows over 1,000 completed projects

**Concerns:**
- Remodeling unproven — no reviews describe a kitchen, bath or new-build project

**Where sources disagree:**
- BBB lists the company as in business since 1989 (37 years), while its own website reports 20-plus years — the two accounts of its history don't match
- Houzz lists a different address (27 Roberta Dr.) than the one used elsewhere (546A Higgins Crowell Rd), though phone, website and license number all match — likely an outdated Houzz record rather than a different business
