Cape contractors needed

[Finlander]

Just bought a house in East Sandwich just off Scorton Creek, right now it's a second home but in a few years it will be my full time fish/retirement home. It's in pretty good shape but does need some work. Like a roof, update electrical. Any of the Cape guys have names and numbers of contractors you have used and would recommend I would greatly appreciate. In time I'm also need a general contractor, to knock down a wall and replace some of trim. Thanks, Chris

Mike is working on a house in Dennis now. Maybe he will be willing to work down there a bit longer.

Call me and I can help you out. I do a ton of business with all kinds of contractors on the cape. If they aren't members of HB&RACC or NARI I wouldn't do business with them. I know local guys of all size companies that will do good work. We work with the one man shows to the luxury home mega mansion builders.

PM me if you want some help.

Absolutely!!!! I sit on the membership committee so i'm partial. But I have friends that are GC's that have done work at my house that aren't members. Being a member has it's priviledges though, CEU programs for your educational requirements, health insurance, work comp insurance discounts, and a lobby/voice to the state and federal govts that look out for your interests not the states or feds interests. I could go on on about the Wind code issue. When I saw his post I thought using a good local guy to the Cape might help him.

Finlander...congrats on your new home.

The very first thing I'd do is check with the R.E co. your buying the home from to see if the owners already have folks who have worked on the home and know it's in's and out's...these are the guys who will I'm sure be happy to not lose out because of a new owner and they may very well be locals who live just down the street or not far away.

Don't fall pray to large contractors who need to charge an arm and a leg because their overhead is large...all those trucks and tools,insurance add up and you'll pay for it.


A good builder worth his salt will beable to do it all if it's a small job or large.If you find someone who can only do one or two things and their not well rounded in the everything that has to do with a home,,walk away from them..keep looking.

Check with your local town hall,theres always list's of local service people with good rep's in town...KEEP the work local and don't give it to those who live off cape...there's plenty of service folks who live here and be happy to serve you.
