York Building & Remodeling is a Sandwich contractor Matt York has run since 2008, and its deepest track record is a run of detailed Houzz reviews from 2018 through 2020: clients who say they interviewed several builders first, then chose York for its communication, attention to detail, and — in one case — delivering a custom-built house on time and on budget. A 2022 Cape Cod Life feature backs that up with a specific, architect-collaborated project that started in 2018 and brought York on as builder the following year. That history sits against a more recent and more troubling one. In two Google reviews from 2026, neighbors near an active demolition say the company had no dust or debris containment in place and skipped other safety and environmental precautions that would have cost little to add. A separate 2023 review describes a company truck tailgating and then passing dangerously. The company's Massachusetts home improvement contractor licence (HIC 162640, held by Matthew York) is verified active with the state, and BuildZoom independently shows both that licence and York's construction supervisor licence active as of 2026 — the paperwork side of the business checks out even as the recent site-conduct complaints raise real questions. Anyone considering a project here should ask specifically about current safety and dust-control practices on active job sites, especially for any demolition work, and weigh that against the substantial, credible remodel history behind the name.
“Alison Alessi, co-principal of A3 Architects in Dennis, met the homeowners in 2018, with Sandwich’s YORK Building & Remodeling signing on in the fall of 2019.”
They chose to avoid safety/environmental precautions on project located near my house. Presumably to save a few dollars since it would not have been a difficult task at all but would have added an additional expense for them. Beware
They are currently starting the demo of a residence and have absolutely no mitigation measures in place or practice to prevent the insulation and other dust debris contained within the actual construction site. The workers on site were asked if they were going to do any preventative measures to keep the dust/debris from blowing into ours and other neighboring properties, and he said we’ve already done everything we are required to do. Another worked yelled to him and said she wants you to stop, and he waved his arm in dismissal of her request. Then as they ripped thru the structure the dust developing and being blown towards our house could be smelled and therefore they did not keep all required debris on the actual construction site. I have called the office number and left a message for the owner to contact me before more of this demo takes place as the first dump truck of debris has been hauled off site and they are waiting for him to return to continue. This project started about 8a and here it’s now 10:30a with nobody from York calling back to address these potential health concerns In failing to keep all debris from leaving the construction site. I’ll post updates as things progress as to how York Construction handles this. Called and spoke with receptionist at 10:45ish and asked if the owner was in yet. She said he’s offsite and she is making calls to see what needs to be done. I said STOP THE DEMO until you have a water truck on site to spray the project down to prevent the debris dust from continuing to contaminate the neighboring properties. She said she doesn’t k ow about that stuff and call are being made to figure things out. Well the owner who holds a contractors license should no the requirements of keeping ALL DEBRIS from leaving the sign site. To have to water the demo site and structure down as the perform their work would cost more because of the added weight of the wet debris being hauled to the dump and the cost to have a water truck performing this task. Save money and don’t have any concern for the neighboring houses being affected. Again… shame on York Building and Remodeling for not caring enough to do their work without risk to others properties or health.
Nice
Company truck tailgated us and then passed dangerously. We were doing 10 mph over the limit but apparently that wasn't fast enough for them.
York Building and Remodeling does not disappoint! Matt and his team are professional and always answer your call, text or email in a timely manner. I interviewed 5 contractors prior to choosing Matt York. His knowledge and attention to detail made my decision to utilize York Builders very easy. Matt and his team helped me build the home I always envisioned. Our family recommends Matt York without hesitation.
