I understand that maintaining your Cape Cod home isn’t cheap—especially in vacation destination towns like Harwich and Chatham. The cost of living here is 40–60% higher than the national average, and home maintenance pricing reflects that.

I created this transparent pricing guide to help homeowners and property managers plan for repairs and upgrades with realistic expectations.
