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 sixty full-time, year 'round employees, the company has grown to be one of the largest builders on Cape Cod and the second-largest employer in Eastham. In 1978 an office, warehouse and shop encompassing over 5,000 square feet was constructed at our present site in North Eastham. This facility houses a fully equipped and staffed office, storage for our construction equipment and vehicles, and a large heated shop for woodworking projects and winter painting. Of significance to our customers, it also allows us to store the records of our past jobs. In the fall of 2002, we opened our second office in Barnstable. Cape Associates currently works all over Cape Cod, from our many projects in Provincetown to Cotuit and Falmouth. Cape Associates has been committed to employing its own carpenters and painters. We feel 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 and several have worked here for over ten, fifteen, and even twenty years. Currently, there are more than 50 field employees consisting of foremen, journeymen carpenters, apprentice carpenters, painters, a mason 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.
