Coastal Building and Remodeling is an Amesbury remodeler run by Michael Lysik, and its reviews are about old houses and attics turned into usable space. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (198816) is active on the state registry, and it holds a 5.0 average from six Thumbtack ratings. In a March 2023 review, a customer said Mike installed a pull-down staircase to the attic over the garage and laid a plywood floor up there. A July 2022 customer hired the company to finish an attic and connect it to the second-floor unit, and said Mike communicated at every step. In a 2020 review, a designer on a Salem renovation said his bid was not the lowest but covered the full scope, so few surprises came up. A 2019 reviewer working in an older home praised his creative solutions.

I hired Mike to install a pull down staircase to my attic above the garage. I would have checked all 5 options above about what I liked about Mike and his company. Mike is knowledgeable, does fantastic work, completed the job exactly the way I wanted it done, and is very reasonable. He put down a plywood floor in the attic and he is always conscious about the details. I will definitely use Mike in the future for any construction projects, and will recommend him to friends and family. Thank you, Mike.
We hired Mike and Coastal Building and Remodeling to finish our attic space and connect it to the second floor unit of our house. I would recommend Mike to anyone, communicated every step in the process, made adjustments for us and very professional.
As a designer, I assisted homeowners in planning and designing a major update to their home in Salem. My homeowners hired Mike after meeting with two other contractors to oversee a renovation of their home. Mike was professional, punctual, and thoroughly scoped the project from the get go. Although his pricing wasn’t the lowest in the initial bid process, it encompassed the full scope so there were very little surprises that popped up, and for the minor unforeseeable ones that did we were able to quickly pivot with amazing creative solutions. His team, including an electrician and flooring installer did a great job, and we are all delighted with the results so far. Mikes work quality and knowledge is also superior. Highly recommend him for a trustworthy and transparent process.
It was a great experience working with Mike and his team. Often when working in an older home, creative solutions are needed and Mike was always able to come up with one! We are both impressed and excited when we look at where we started and the final product Mike completed, can’t wait for our next opportunity to use Coastal again
I bought my home in Merrimac, MA, which was a "flip". It was a small Colonial that was taken down to the studs and redone. Walls were removed downstairs so as to make it an open concept. It is bright and inviting. The materials used were of very good quality. I have had many friends who have asked me who did it and were impressed with the attention to detail. I did not hire Coastal as it was listed for soul. I have lived in the house now for a year and am pleased.
