Mike Bousaleh runs Ave Maria Remodeling out of Braintree, a home remodeling company he says has worked the South Shore and greater Boston area for over 20 years. The site describes him as a longtime Braintree resident and a former Coast Guard-licensed charter boat captain, and lists kitchen and bathroom remodeling, roofing, siding, replacement windows, and general household repairs as its work, offered with free estimates. The only written review on file is from 2018 — a repeat customer who said the company did a nice job on their house and called the quality great, adding they'd used the business before. BuildZoom shows 89 projects logged for the company, though that single review is the only customer account behind it. The company's own tenure claim doesn't line up with its BBB profile: the site says over 20 years, while BBB lists 11 years under the same owner. Its Massachusetts license picture is similarly tangled — a Construction Supervisor number appears twice with conflicting notes, shown current on one line and given a January 2026 expiration on the other, and a second Home Improvement Contractor number is listed inactive and once cancelled, apart from a newer one issued in late 2025. None of these figures come from the state registry itself, so they're worth checking directly. Its BBB profile carries an A+ rating, though the business is not BBB-accredited. Worth a call for a straightforward Braintree-area remodeling job given the owner's tenure and the repeat business it's drawn — but nail down current licensing and the real years-in-business before signing anything.
Typical Greater Boston range for this kind of work, from regional averages — not a quote from Ave Maria Remodeling. Use it to sanity-check bids, then get the real number in writing.

The overall experience was great. They did really nice job with the house. I thought the quality is great. We have used them before as well.
