Ave Maria Remodeling

Ave Maria Remodeling is a Braintree, Massachusetts general contractor that BBB has on file with an A+ rating and eleven years in business, run by owner Mike Bousaleh (listed there as Captain Mike Bousaleh). On BuildZoom, the company's permit history runs to 89 recorded projects, and the same owner, Michael Bousaleh, describes himself on LinkedIn as having spent more than 26 years in professional construction experience — a career that predates the company's own founding. The written record is thin but positive: the one customer review on file, from 2018 on BuildZoom, called the overall experience and the quality of the work great and noted the customer had used the company more than once. There isn't a deeper trail of recent reviews to draw on beyond that. Before calling, it's worth asking about licensing directly. BuildZoom's own page names a Home Improvement Contractor registration (#189507) issued in October 2025 and a Construction Supervisor number (CS-090268) for the company. Both currently show as active there. The same page also carries a separate, older Home Improvement Contractor number, which is inactive and, per that page, was cancelled at one point. It additionally repeats the Construction Supervisor number under a second, separately dated entry noting a January 2026 expiration. None of this is a state-registry check, so the fastest way to know where things stand is to ask the company directly and check with the state licensing board. BBB does not list the company as accredited, which is a separate, optional status from its A+ grade rather than a mark against it. For a homeowner focused on a home addition or full remodel in the Braintree area, this looks like a long-tenured, permit-active outfit worth a call — just confirm current licensing before signing anything.
