Cape Cod Home Builders and Remodeling
Company

Cape Associates, Inc. was established in 1971 by Lester F. Langhans, Jr., a life-long builder who had relocated to the Cape a year earlier. From three employees to over 100 full-time, year-round employees, the company has grown to be one of the largest builders on Cape Cod. In 1978, an office, warehouse and shop encompassing over 5,000 square feet was constructed at our present site in North Eastham. We also have a second Cape Cod office in Yarmouthport.

Our facilities include offices, high-tech computer systems, storage for our construction equipment and vehicles, and a large heated shop for custom woodworking projects and year-round painting. Of significance to our customers, we also maintain the records of our past jobs. Cape Associates currently works throughout Cape Cod, from Plymouth to Provincetown and Nantucket.

Cape Associates has been committed to employing its own carpenters and painters. This approach permits the constant, effective communication between us and our customers necessary for successful custom construction. Another advantage to in-house employees is quality control through better coordination and clear lines of responsibility. The employees of Cape Associates take pride in their work; many have worked here for over ten, fifteen, twenty, and even thirty years! Currently, there are more than 80 field employees consisting of foremen, journeymen carpenters, apprentice carpenters, painters, a mason, tile setters, and a truck driver.

Mission Statement

At Cape Associates our mission is building life-long relationships with our customers and with our employees, based upon an uncompromising commitment to quality and integrity.
