Remodeling a home in Orleans
Orleans is where the Lower Cape meets the Outer Cape, with water on the bay, on Pleasant Bay, and on the ocean at Nauset Beach.
Many Orleans homes are used seasonally, so remodeling here is often scheduled for the months when the house is empty. You make the selections ahead of time, we order cabinets, tile, and fixtures early, and the work is finished before the house opens for the season.
Interior work needs town permits but not Old King’s Highway approval. If the remodel changes the outside of a house in the district, with a new window, door, or dormer, that review comes first. Near the bay, Pleasant Bay, or the ocean, we choose hardware and finishes that hold up to salt air.
“As the General Manager of Pretty Picky Properties I’ve had the pleasure of working with Joe and his team for nearly 10 years. Joe’s carpentry skills are unmatched. He’s always respectful, finishes on time, priced well, and transparent from start to finish. You will not regret hiring Mussato Building Group.”

Home Remodeling in Orleans: FAQ
Do I need a permit to remodel a house in Orleans?
Usually, yes. Licensed plumbers and electricians pull permits for their work, and the Orleans Building Department issues the building permit if walls or structure change. We schedule all of it.
Do you remodel homes in Orleans Village and East Orleans?
Yes. We remodel homes all over Orleans, including Orleans Village, East Orleans, and South Orleans. Our base in South Yarmouth is about 16 miles away.
Do I need Old King’s Highway approval to remodel in Orleans?
Not for interior work. If the house is in the district and the remodel changes the outside, with a new window, door, or dormer, that change needs a certificate first.

The whole renovation. As a general contractor we coordinate all trades under one roof, from demolition and framing to plumbing, electrical, tile, cabinetry, and finish work.
