The Housewright Company is a carpentry and remodeling firm run by Michael Doiron from South Hamilton/Beverly, Massachusetts, founded in 1997 and specializing in the construction, remodeling and restoration of antique-style homes and additions on Massachusetts' North Shore. The company's work has been featured in This Old House magazine and on its television program, and it won the Mary Connelly Preservation Award for restoring a first-period saltbox on Argilla Road in Ipswich. In 2013-2015 Houzz reviews, clients described Mike and his crew as professional, detail-oriented and easy to work with, finishing projects on time and on budget; Houzz shows a 4.7-star rating from those same three reviews. BuildZoom's permit records show 19 projects between 2009 and 2025 concentrated in Manchester, Beverly, Groveland and Newburyport, including several large jobs, with the company holding a Massachusetts Home Improvement Contractor license (146121) and a separately self-reported construction supervisor license (CS-059906). The company's website states it offers free estimates.
“a visit to Chub Whitten’s now-rebuilt fire-ravaged house in Newburyport which they had visited the previous year (which was also the subject of a story in the TOH magazine), an enormous and expensive job costing about $600,000 that was in large part thanks to builder Michael Doiron. It was an appropriate lead-in for the season as Tommy, while showing Steve his new van and work trailer, told the sad tale of his brother Dickie’s total-loss house fire in Billerica, which became the major project for the season. A tour of the burned-out pro”
Prompt, knowledgable, friendly and honest. Great ideas. Work completed on time and on budget. Cleaned up work site without being asked.
I trust the design aesthetic and workmanship of anything that Mike Doiran and his crew do for me and my home. I've done several projects beginning with a major remodel of my home before I moved into it several years ago. They are a pleasure to work with.
This was the first home we built and Mike and his entire crew made it a positive experience. Competent, professional, complete attention to details, extraordinary patience, creative problem solver.
