Specifics included a complete remodel of the kitchen, the living room, the downstairs’ bonus room area, and outside decks. The redesign of the living room included moving/redesigning the fireplace to a different wall – which is no small project. Our bonus room was turned around where the waterfront view was ignored, so Pete helped redesign it. We now we have a fill wall of glass sliders that opens to a new deck – with the bathroom and laundry room moved to the other side of the room. This has made all the difference in how we live and use this space. > Pete Fellman managed the entire process with incredible professionalism, from helping with the design to following up with appliance makers. > I’ve done many house renovation projects over the years and am happy to say that this was by far, the most well run and stress-free one of all – and all while traveling back and forth across the country, as this is a second home for us. Pete’s vast experience enables him to think through all the details and foresee future issues before they arise. This is something we truly valued. He has a list of top notch subcontractors and suppliers that are not only experts, but great folks to work with – and with the same attention to detail that Pete displays. > Importantly, he put’s a craftsman’s touch on all aspects of the project so the final result is one of uniqueness and style. > We highly recommend working with Pete and his brothers! You will be grateful you did! **★★★★★ — Brian Sherin, Dec. 2015** > We contracted with Peter Fellman to finish our basement early this year. While we had a good idea of the general plan from the outset, we soon came to realize that this was just the beginning. From the very first walk-through before work began, Pete gave us a great deal to think about and made sure that we gave careful consideration to exactly what we wanted in the final work product. This even included giving consideration to the location of furniture and the intended uses of the space before the first nail was hammered. He took a keen and sincere interest in ensuring that we thought through every aspect of the project and he continued this approach until the last finishing touch was completed. There is absolutely no aspect of the job that was left to chance. > > The best way to describe Pete’s approach is that he goes beyond what he would probably do if it were his own home. He takes great pains to make certain that, when the project is done, it far exceeds your original expectations. And…we can truly say that the final result is well beyond our initial “vision”. Pete challenges you to think about what may seem to be the smallest details so that the end result all comes together perfectly. If he does not agree he tells you and discusses it so that you can make an informed decision. > > The subcontractors that Pete brings to the project are of the same high caliber as he is, not only in the quality of their work but also in the character of the individuals. It was a pleasure to work with each of them and to see that they truly care about the work they do while they continually were making sure that everything they were doing was consistent with our expectations. We had the utmost confidence in each and every person that worked on our project and enjoyed having them in our home. Their work was impeccable and Pete coordinated with them each and every step along the way. > > If you are looking for a contractor to come in and throw up some walls, lay down a floor and slap on some paint, Pete Fellman is definitely not your guy. I don’t think he could take that approach even if you insisted. However, if you are seeking a contractor who will involve you in every aspect of the project, and dare to challenge you along the way, to guarantee that the results are better that you ever imagined, Pete is your guy. The best way to bring this home is that when the work was all done and we had some time to live with the results Pete asked, “Is there anything that you would have done differently?”. We thought about it and the answer was a definitive “No”. What more can you ask for? **Comment from Fellman Brothers Builders:** > Thanks Brian and Jane Anne! I really enjoyed working with you on this project. The end result never could have happened without your creative input as well. Thanks again! **★★★★★ — johnskarupa, Jan. 2015** > We have been working with the Fellman Brothers for many years. They are a true pleasure to work with. They have the knowledge, skills, and forethought to get any job done. It's rare to find a builder who puts so much effort into everything they do. They not only want to get the job done right, but they are also very mindful of the budget. We couldn't imagine working with anyone else! **Comment from Fellman Brothers Builders:** > Likewise, the framing skills and professionalism of your Carpenters is top-notch. We really appreciate having such talented framers on the job. They are extremely experienced and capable, they care about their work, and they are respectful of the client. Having you as part of our Building team has been a win-win partnership, and our clients truly benefit. Thank you John! **★★★★★ — s\_b\_, Jan. 2015** > Peter Fellman has overseen two complete home renovations for us, one of which included building a large addition. He handled each renovation with the utmost professionalism, care and concern. He approached the jobs as if he were working on his own home. As a result there was no "punch list" of items to be fixed at the end of the project, and minimal follow-up needed. I would unreservedly recommend him. The work he does is extraordinary. **Comment from Fellman Brothers Builders:** > Thank you both for the opportunity to work on 2 very special homes on a truly amazing property! And for letting us take some creative liberties along the way, it was a Builder's dream job and truly a 'sweet journey'! **★★★★★ — gerry1234, Jan. 2015** > Project was a rehab of a vintage 1940's cape. It was a complete renovation and redesign to take advantage of this special property. Elements included, new attached garage and mudroom, complete opening out of second floor with full glass exposure to salt marsh, a beautiful library, built by Peter's brother Mark, and construction of an indoor Swimex poolroom. All accomplished while keeping some of the Old Cape Cod features. > > Pete came to us by way of our real estate broker. He was involved and managed from the very beginning; with selection of our architect and continued through permitting to completion. His knowledge and experience as a traditional old school craftsman, and unmatched quality expectations, was evident throughout the selection, of materials and subcontractors. He was here everyday and provided regular updates to us as appropriate. > > Pete strives to satisfy you, the customer. His experience allows him to interject his concerns, ideas and solutions to design or construction elements. He enjoys the give and take that is required to elevate a project to it's full potential. Very good about sticking to budget and accommodating changes. You do not see that in the just slap it up, get paid, and move on mentality, some have today. > Excellent, results oriented performance!! **Comment from Fellman Brothers Builders:** > We loved working with you both, and are very happy you now are living in your dream home! I think it turned out even better than expected. Thank you again for the work! **★★★★★ — chrisjoh1234, Dec. 2014** > We have worked with the Fellman Brothers on two projects and are very happy with their work. Both of these were renovations of our existing house in Chatham. The first was adding a shed dormer to the second story front of the house, redoing three bathrooms, an outdoor shower, lifting the ceiling in the master to a vaulted ceiling and more. The challenge here among other things was to make the dormer look like it had always been there. The attention to detail when working with The Fellman Brothers cannot be overstated. Somehow Peter Fellman managed to focus on the total job and the details so well. He communicated effectively on the progress of the job which was very important to us being far away from the house and relying on phone calls, photos and email. He made suggestions along the way that were good and needed. The finished product completely exceeded our expectations. Fellman Brothers is now renovating our kitchen and from what we have seen it will be a fantastic change. > > We are so pleased with the way they have handled these projects and recommend them highly. **Comment from Fellman Brothers Builders:** > We love working with you both! It's been a lot of fun hearing your ideas, and incorporating them into the finished product so you can truly feel it's 'your home'. Your kitchen is turning out fantastic - can't wait to showcase it on Houzz!!! Again, thank you for the work! **★★★★★ — whitepond1, Dec. 2014** > Attention to detail, always there to answer questions and make > recommendations, pleasant to work with, and visited the site > EVERY DAY!! Pete Fellman did a very complicated roof line while > adding a master en-suite to my home on White Pond in Chatham. > Beautiful fireplace, built-ins for books and decorative items, a huge > walk-in closet/tile bathroom and 12' slider to a deck overlooking > the water. Better than the finest hotel room at Chatham Bars Inn !! > > The project also involved a lower level guest bedroom underneath the master en-suite with 2 large closets and another set of sliders overlooking the pond. **★★★★ — michaelaiden, Dec. 2014** > As an Interior Designer who often works on projects involving construction, my effectiveness in completing a project to my clients satisfaction rests as much with the quality of the contractor as anything else. Fellman Brothers attention to detail and overall approach to a project is very impressive. > Through many projects to date, whether a whole house remodel or a kitchen and bath, our ability to communicate and problem solve has made for many happy clients > Anthony Fife, Abode **Comment from Fellman Brothers Builders:** > Thank you Anthony. We look forward to working together again soon! **★★★★★ — ajenness, Dec. 2014** > EXTERIOR: Removed siding and installed cedar shingles, enclosed and installed windows to convert screened "porch" to 4-season room, changed columns out front, painting, exterior lighting, assorted repairs. > INTERIOR: Removed ceiling in living room and vaulted ceiling, widened doorway between dining and living rooms, finished new 4-season room addition with stone flooring, paneling, heat, glass doors, etc.; installed canned ceiling lights throughout house, removed old floor board heating and replaced with central HVAC, patched and refinished floors after removal so not visible, upgraded electrical system to handle bigger load, completely gutted both bathrooms and rebuilt, removed "popcorn ceilings, replaced door and window hardware, painted entire house both inside and out. Probably more that I can't remember. It was a complete and beautiful transformation! **Comment from Fellman Brothers Builders:** > Thank you Ann, we loved working with you - on both houses! ## Selected projects - [Osprey Overlook - Chatham](https://www.houzz.com/hznb/projects/osprey-overlook-chatham-pj-vj~939414) - Location: Not specified - Photos: 10 - Description: This home received a new chef's kitchen complete with center island / breakfast bar.

Thanks! A: Thank you Katie. It's a great kitchen! The Owner found this stone, I'm very sorry but I don't have the details on it. There are so many granite choices these days however I'm sure you can find one very similar at a granite warehouse. Good luck! **Q: Stair Runner** *(in Photo Questions)* Would it be possible to share where you got the stair runner? A: Thank you for your question. However the homeowner chose the carpeting for the stairs off Cape. **Q: how is the roof insulated?** *(in Photo Questions)* thx! A: This is a picture of a floor structure (2nd fl.) from the first floor below. What you see are the old post and beam floor joists and the underside of the old floor boards. That being the case there is no insulation, just a room above. Thanks for asking! **Q: Who makes these cabinets?** *(in Photo Questions)* I am redoing my kitchen and love these cabinet with inset door. Thank you! A: These cabinets were all hand-made for this project. Thank you for your interest! **Q: Trim** *(in Photo Questions)* What is the trim color and who was it from? A: Thank you. The trim color is a Sherwin Williams custom manual match of a Marvin Clad Window color called Pebble Gray. **Q: Could you please tell me who manufactures the garage doors?** *(in Photo Questions)* A: Thank you for your question. The doors were ordered through Overhead Door in Hyannis, MA. They are Azek over a wood frame with true divided lites. I don't recall who the manufacturer was, but you might get that from Overhead Door. Thank you! --- *Source: Houzz professional profile. Reflects the profile as of 2026-11-11.*
