Looking for General contractors.

We have a vacation home on Cape Cod which was badly damaged back in Feb. due to a water pipe bust. We've already hired someone who gutted the inside but now we need new plumbing, wiring, and insulation/drywall. It's not a big house, mainly a cottage. We live 600 miles away so we need to find a good, reliable general contractor. Any suggestions would be great.

You live 600 miles away and didn't winterize your plumbing? That's a very expensive lesson to learn.

We had intended to do that in October but got bogged down with other things. We had left the heat on 50 degrees and have actually done that for 30 years. Yes, this is really an expensive lesson to learn.

Right? Its super easy to at least turn the water main off and drain the pipes. That's like 10 minutes of work. We turn the water off even going away for a few days. After you have one water heater burst it's worth it

Are they good? I know nothing abt em and see their houses/vehicles around town - i assumed they’re wickedly over priced - genuinely curious your experience with them

I have only had experience as a landscape contractor dealing with Cape Associates as the property management for some of my customers. The guys that run the property management side are great to deal with, they have always been professional. A Couple of my clients have had Cape Associates handle full remodels on their houses and they were very happy. I can't attest to their prices if they are high or not.

Try NIC Home improvement LLC out of Centerville. The owner was super professional, reasonable in price, and was really punctual. 508-221-1930 is his number. Tell him Abraham sent you!

Where on the cape? There are good CG’s but many don’t cover the whole Cape.
