# Coastal Building and Remodeling **Trade:** General Contractor / Remodeling · **Address:** 30 Summit Ave · **Phone:** (781) 816-7228 · **Languages:** English **Rating: 3.0/5** (low confidence) — from 6 reviews across 4 sources. 100% of sentiment-scored reviews read net-positive. Last 6 months: 0 reviews, 0 negative. ## The honest read Coastal Building and Remodeling, run by Michael Lysik out of Amesbury, is a small renovation outfit whose real specialty shows up project by project — attic conversions, additions, whole-house renovations — rather than any one signature job. The written record, though not large, is remarkably consistent: a 2022 review describes finishing an attic and tying it into the second floor with constant communication; a 2023 review covers a pull-down attic staircase installed exactly to spec; and a design professional's 2020 account of a Salem renovation praises thorough scoping and quick, creative fixes for the surprises that came up mid-project. A 2019 review calls out the attention to detail and material choices on a full house renovation. Across platforms the pattern holds — 5.0 from 6 Thumbtack reviews (100% five-star, hired four times) and a 5-star BuildZoom rating. Permit records back that up: BuildZoom's data shows 10 permitted projects, four in the last three years, ranging from about $7,000 to $508,000 across towns from Newburyport to Methuen, and puts the company's BuildZoom score above 99% of Massachusetts licensed contractors. BuildZoom lists an active Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration (#198816) as of this April, alongside two earlier registrations shown as inactive. Worth knowing: HomeAdvisor and Angi list ten years of self-reported experience and free estimates, but neither has a review yet, and the company's own marketing casts a wide net — bathroom, kitchen and general remodeling — that the written reviews above don't specifically confirm for kitchens or baths. Ask to see recent kitchen or bath work directly if that's the project in mind. **Strengths:** - Perfect Thumbtack record — 5.0 from 6 reviews, hired 4 times - Top-tier BuildZoom score — 124, above 99% of MA contractors - Detailed praise — attic conversions and full renovations done to spec **Concerns:** - No reviews yet — HomeAdvisor and Angi listings are new ## Claims & citations Every claim below is backed by real evidence rows — uncited claims are dropped in code before publication. - Thumbtack rating of 5.0 from 6 reviews, 100% five-star, hired 4 times _(confidence: high)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/amesbury/general-contractors/coastal-building-remodeling-inc/service/352931083005902866) — “Thumbtack: 5.0★ from 6 ratings” - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/amesbury/general-contractors/coastal-building-remodeling-inc/service/352931083005902866) — “Thumbtack profile for Coastal Building and Remodeling, Inc. of Amesbury MA (owner Michael Lysik): 5.0 from 6 reviews with a 100% five-star d…” - BuildZoom score of 124, placing the company above 99% of Massachusetts licensed contractors _(confidence: medium)_ - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/coastal-building-and-remodeling) — “BuildZoom profile for Coastal Building and Remodeling at 30 Summit Ave, Amesbury MA (owner Michael Lysik): BuildZoom score 124, which the si…” - 10 permitted projects (4 in the past three years) valued from about $7k to $508k across the North Shore _(confidence: medium)_ - [BuildZoom](https://www.buildzoom.com/contractor/coastal-building-and-remodeling) — “BuildZoom profile for Coastal Building and Remodeling at 30 Summit Ave, Amesbury MA (owner Michael Lysik): BuildZoom score 124, which the si…” - A 2022 review describes finishing an attic and connecting it to the second floor, with clear communication throughout _(confidence: medium)_ - [Thumbtack](https://www.thumbtack.com/ma/amesbury/general-contractors/coastal-building-remodeling-inc/service/352931083005902866) — “5★ We hired Mike and Coastal Building and Remodeling to finish our attic space and connect it to the second floor unit of our house.
