At Cape Associates, our mission is to build lifelong relationships with our customers and employees through an unwavering commitment to quality and integrity.
Cape Associates, Inc. is a third-generation family business, now owned by the grandchildren of founder Lester F. Langhans, Jr. As a full-service custom home builder, we offer design, permitting, and cost-estimating services, along with renovation and improvement services such as painting, tiling, and millwork.
Following Lester’s tenure, Michael Cole became president, leading the company through a period of growth and diversification. During his leadership, he expanded the company's scope by establishing and growing key departments, including Services (renovations and additions), Painting, and Property Management.
Today, under the leadership of President Matthew H. Cole, Cape Associates continues to thrive as a full-service custom home builder. With more than 150 full-time, year-round employees, we take pride in our journey and the foundation we've built for the future.
Founded by Leroy Shaw in 1948, Shaw & Sons is a fully integrated construction company specializing in structural & architectural concrete.
Shaw & Sons has developed a reputation over the past 50 plus years of striving for perfection. From setting 1400 lb. base plate templates on high rise buildings to simplistic cast-in-place concrete walls, to sawcut patterns in hardscape paving. All display an “accuracy” that is accomplished by delivering each project in a systematic step-by-step process to ensure that the design intent, both structurally and aesthetically, is fullfilled or exceeded. Building with such a methodical approach brings an assurance that each piece is installed properly and therefore remains uncompromised over time. Ownership receives the best long-term value.
This is what we strive for.
This is our reputation.
