Celebrating 36 Years on Cape Cod & Nantucket

A few words from our clients...

"Thank you for building our home in Cotuit. We are extremely satisfied with the quality of the construction. The entire house feels solid and two years after construction the house shows no signs of any "short cuts". Throughout the home, we admire your team's craftsmanship. My wife and I enjoyed working with you and your team. You were respectful of our construction budget, and worked with us to produce a quality home that met our original budget targets. Additionally, you understood the "look and feel" that we wanted in the house, and your were able to re-design several architectural elements within the house so as to make us more satisfied. ... Finally, the moldings and book cases hand-built by your team show true craftsmanship, and are much admired by those who visit our home.....Thank you again for your integrity, good judgment and excellent product" - Cape Cod

T. A. Nelson worked with us on a major house / landscape renovation effort while we lived in the home. Each project had hard and fast deadlines and all I can say is that we were on schedule and budget for all three efforts. On our last project we interviewed several builders but came back to T. A. Nelson in the end for flexibility, quality and trust. We've been pleased with our experiences and would not hesitate to use Tom and his team again." - Cape Cod
