Coastal Life Companies

Coastal Life Construction operates from Forestdale and identifies Ben Thomas as its owner and founder. Its website presents the company as a construction business, while BBB describes Coastal Life Companies Inc. as a corporation offering landscaping, construction, and property management; BBB reports nine years in business and names Benjamin W. Thomas as president. The Massachusetts license registry lists an active HIC license 191594 for Coastal Life Companies Inc. In reviews from 2023, homeowners praised a cedar-shingle project and a new deck and doors, citing responsiveness, communication, and the quality of Ben Thomas and his crew’s work. A separate 2023 reviewer who had worked with the company on many projects called the team professional and recommended it for Cape Cod building projects. These are older reviews rather than recent accounts, and the Google profile shows four ratings with a 4-star average. The record also contains a serious 2022 complaint: a homeowner said a project remained unfinished more than a year after contract signing and that an Attorney General’s Office involvement prompted some work while issues remained. Anyone considering a project should ask for a detailed scope, schedule, completion milestones, references for comparable work, and how unfinished-work disputes are handled. The company may fit homeowners seeking Cape Cod construction or remodeling, including exterior carpentry such as cedar-shingle work and decks. Confirm the exact scope, current availability, license details, insurance, and whether landscaping or property management are part of the engagement before booking.
