Vollmer & Son is a Cotuit father-and-son general contracting firm — Mark and Peter Vollmer, with a combined 40-plus years of experience — building new homes, additions, full-scale renovations, restorations and accessory structures across Cape Cod, plus year-round property management for its clients. The company's own materials say clients work with Peter and his team through the whole project, with no middlemen. Its written record runs from 2014 to 2020 across 11 Houzz reviews, all five stars, with the platform's aggregate scoring 5.0 on work quality, communication and value alike. The reviews describe the same handful of things repeatedly: direct, hands-on ownership and precise, detailed work. In a 2014 review, a Centerville client who'd worked with the Vollmers for seven years called a retaining wall facing the river 'a nightmare project that turned beautiful,' and described a full basement remodel with custom wall units and columns. A 2016 review described a top-to-bottom renovation — new siding and windows included — that 'came out beautiful,' and another from the same year detailed re-shingling both sides of a home and replacing trim with composite. A 2014 review, still in progress at the time, covered two bathroom remodels the reviewer called 'excellent' so far. The newest review on file, from December 2020, described finishing an unfinished space above a garage into a home gym after the company's estimate came in both comprehensive and fairly priced. More recent activity outside the reviews backs up that the company kept working: a 2021 BRICC Awards Silver Award for New Construction and Design, participation in a 2022 Blitz Build, and features in Cape Cod Home (Autumn 2020 cover story, Autumn 2022) and At Home on Cape Cod (Fall/Winter 2021 and 2022). Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration is active. A strong option for a Cape Cod custom home, addition or full renovation — worth confirming current lead times given the volume of recent projects and press.
I recently moved to Cotuit and Vollmer & Son was highly recommended to me by a local landscaper since I had no contractor relationships here on the Cape. We wanted to finish the unfinished space above the two car garage to create a home gym and update the home's sad looking laundry room space. After getting multiple estimates, I found theirs to be both comprehensive and fairly priced. Once we started the project, Peter was very flexible and easy to communicate with. He easily accommodated any changes that came up along the way. The workmanship on both spaces is truly wonderful and really well done. Plus all the subs who came onto the project were great. Mark (father) and Peter (son) are a well oiled team and were able to fit our smaller project into their schedule as they built new homes nearby. We are thrilled with the results and the final cost was right on target with the original budget. Any changes or code required elements we had to add (like an upgrade to spray foam insulation required by the building department ) were priced fairly. There was only one item that was not quite right and when I told Peter about it he fixed it, no questions asked. I definitely recommend Vollmer & Son and will happily refer my design clients to them as well!
P M Vollmer and Son Construction, Peter, Mark and Andy, constructed a new custom built home for my wife and I. This is the fourth home that I have designed and have had built, and it has been by far the most satisfying because of the ability and professionalism of Peter, Mark, and Andy.
I would highly recommend this company! Peter is extremely professional, his workmanship is excellent , and is always on time! We had Peter renovate our entire house, inside and out. Along with all new siding and Windows . Everything came out beautiful, and Peter is a joy to work with.
Peter and Mark are both extremely professional and courteous. We have done many projects with them over the years. We highly recommend their work. They always have their customers best interest at heart. We know them as workers who always go above and beyond.
P M Vollmer and Son Construction is the only company we will hire to work on our home. Mark and Peter re-shingled both sides of our home, replaced the trim with composite and have installed two windows and a boxed out window. They are incredibly reliable and give very accurate estimates. We will be having the Vollmers replace our sunroom and make it into a year-round room in the near future. The work that they perform is of such high quality and we would recommend them to anyone without hesitation. They are a joy to work with and we are excited to have them make our home more beautiful with future projects.
