Coastal Points Construction LLC

Coastal Points Construction is a Dover, New Hampshire excavation, site-work and septic contractor that also builds and restores homes. The company says it is owner-operated by Chris Melnik, who works with Scott Bailey of Bailey Environmental Services on septic design and permitting and with interior designer Lis Bailey Melnik; the site describes the business as a rebrand of Melnik's earlier building and restoration company, C.W. Melnik, after he relocated to the New Hampshire Seacoast. What homeowners write about most is septic work, and the recent accounts are specific. A July 2026 reviewer dealing with a septic failure says Chris answered every call, arrived when he said he would, finished inside the timeframe he quoted, and moved and replaced her greenhouse to get at the work. A June 2026 customer describes a full new septic system where the household was back to using a bathroom within an hour on day one even though the job ran a week, with updates throughout. An April 2026 reviewer echoes it: prompt service, promised deadlines met, and the septic install done on time. The rest of the written record is warmer than it is detailed. Three October 2025 reviews praise the team's care and attention to detail and Chris's professionalism without naming the job. On HomeAdvisor, the profile carries three older reviews -- a 2017 account praising attention to detail, quality work without surprises and a job site left clean, and a January 2015 one calling the service reasonably priced and the work excellent. That profile also lists new build, excavation, hardscape, property management, remodel and septic design and installation as the services offered, and claims 26 years of experience. Two things are worth checking before you hire. Google's average is 4.3 stars across 11 ratings, which sits below the nine written reviews on file -- all of them five-star -- so some raters left a score without a comment; ask for references on work like yours. And the detailed praise clusters on septic and site work, so if you are hiring for a build or a remodel, ask to see that work directly. For a septic replacement, an emergency septic failure or site work around Dover and the towns north toward Wolfeboro and Ossipee, this is a small owner-run outfit whose recent customers consistently describe fast scheduling, straight answers and work finished when promised. Confirm who pulls the septic design and permits, and get the timeline in writing.
