Art Dolgoff worked for a landscaping and slate roofing company in his high school years. Later, moving to Cape Cod, he worked for a contractor driving bulldozer and learning basic construction methods. After asking for a 25 cent raise and not getting it he moved on to a framing crew. After four years of framing residential homes with three different companies Art started his own company (Family Builders) with a close friend, his father and nine employees. In 1973, two years later he left the company to start his own remodeling company.

As of today Art Dolgoff Building/Remodeling Co. has completed over 800 projects. Some large some small some for the homeowner some for the business owner some for the town some for the county. To mention a few: Craigsville beach Civic Assoc (tore down & rebuilt all changing rooms & renovated pavilion 1987; Renovated Barnstable town hall meeting room & built crescent desk for new 18 member town council 1990; Complete renovation of the Assembly of Delegates room 1992; Built prototype Cumberland Farms in West Yarmouth 1999; Added children’s room addition to the Centerville Library 2001 and many residential additions, remodeling and repairs.

Last but not least our challenge of challenges, the Historic Home, the early & pre 1900’s, the chance to restore, repair or add to what was constructed over 100 years ago.

When asked if he would do it again, have his own business;
"Yes. I must tell you that after 35 years, it is still a pleasure to go to work in the morning. I enjoy the challenges which the construction industry brings, and the relationships I've made with my customers. The most important reason of all is that I was able to always be part of my children’s’ lives. Before they entered school, If they were sick or needed me I was there. While in grammar school I never missed a play, music recital, field day, etc."
