E.J. Jaxtimer Builder, Inc.

E.J. Jaxtimer Builder, Inc. works out of 48 Rosary Lane in Hyannis and builds and renovates homes across Cape Cod and the Islands. The company says it was founded by E.J. Jaxtimer in 1978 and is still run as a family business, with his wife Terry and sons Jonathan, Jamie and Sam involved day to day. Alongside custom building and remodeling it offers millwork, landscaping and property management, so a single job can span more than one trade. What outside sources say about the work is consistent but thin. On a Cape Cod discussion thread a poster who works alongside local builders named EJ Jaxtimer among their highest-end mid-Cape recommendations and said they had worked with the firm and could vouch for the quality, describing that group as the area's luxury builders. Directory ratings point the same direction — a 5-star Google average from five ratings and a 5.0 on Houzz from two — though none of those listings carry written review text, so there is no detailed first-hand account of a finished project to read. The paper trail is more substantial than the review trail. The Better Business Bureau lists the company as operating since 1979 with 16 employees and carries a Massachusetts Executive Office of Public Safety home improvement registration on file, and grades it A+ while noting it is not BBB accredited. BuildZoom's profile reports an active Massachusetts contractor license and a permit history of high-value Cape new-home and renovation projects; the firm also shows up as a Hyannis Chamber of Commerce member. That permit record is worth weighing against your own project. The documented jobs skew toward large custom builds and whole-house renovations, which is a different business from a small remodel, so it is fair to ask early whether your scope fits their calendar and minimums. Before signing, confirm the current status of the state registration directly with the licensing board and ask for references from recent projects close to your size — the public record is strong on credentials and long tenure, lighter on customers describing the finished work.
