Here on Cape Cod we’re surrounded by the ocean. Many of the homes we build have wonderful, if not commanding, ocean and bay views. Our designs are often focused on the water, taking advantage of the ever-changing natural scene that is the ocean.

Here’s a beautiful kitchen which maximizes all sorts of important considerations: view, storage, cooking space…It reminds me of the kitchen we built which will be featured in Cape Cod Life magazine this summer. Take a walk around this space and get energized. We’d love to build this kitchen for you!

Many times we are asked to maximize living space with very efficient design. Often our Customers are replacing a beach cottage with a home that will better serve their current lifestyle, and almost always space is at a premium.

Small spaces don’t have to be cramped. Modern materials and smart design allow us to pack lots of utility into comfortable, efficient, fun spaces. Special sinks, wall-mounted storage, and pull-out pantries are great ways to increase the utility, and non-conformity, of smaller kitchens.

Here at REEF we build houses to last for generations. With decades of experience with the Cape Cod climate, including hurricanes and blizzards, we know what our homes must withstand. We are constantly researching and employing advances in building materials and application technologies.

Still, Mother Nature takes her toll. Sun, wind, rain, sleet, snow…you name it, weather is constantly challenging your home. That’s OK. It is expected. But sometimes Homeowners aren’t aware, or just don’t pay attention to routine maintenance.

Here are 5 “Ticking Time Bombs” that affect every household on Cape Cod. Sometimes an ounce of prevention IS worth a pound of cure. Let us know if you need help with any of these common Homeowner challenges: (click the link below)

TV…Love it…Can’t live without it. For many it’s the primary news, entertainment and general relaxation provider. But must it be constantly in the room?

Many of our Customers have asked us to build cabinets and hide-a-ways for their TV’s. They don’t want the peaceful living area of their Cape Cod retreat to be dominated by a big, blank TV screen.

Here’s some really intriguing ways to tuck the TV away, and have it appear on demand. After all, it’s Cape Cod…beach, sand, and sun (not TV!).
